Niquelao Image Optimizer

Changelog

1.5.1

  • Fixed: Plugin Check findings — replaced direct unlink() calls with wp_delete_file() in the Maintenance ZIP download and cleanup routines
  • Fixed: added justified phpcs:ignore annotations for the unavoidable direct is_writable()/readfile() filesystem calls used to manage .htaccess and stream the temporary backup ZIP (no WP_Filesystem equivalent exists for these specific operations)
  • Fixed: added justified phpcs:ignore annotations for $_POST[‘offset’]/$_POST[‘token’] reads in Maintenance AJAX handlers, where the nonce is already verified via check_ajax_referer() inside check_permissions() earlier in the same method
  • Fixed: removed the remote Google Fonts @import in the admin stylesheet (present since the first approved version) — admin UI now uses a local system-font stack, with no third-party assets loaded
  • Fixed: missing i18n wrapper on the “No Imagick/GD detected” troubleshooting copy in the Diagnostics page
  • Fixed: hardcoded Spanish strings in the Media Library inline JS (single-image optimize button) now routed through PHP __() and passed to the script as a translatable object
  • Changed: README.md rewritten to match the current version and defer to readme.txt as the single source of truth for the changelog, instead of duplicating (and drifting out of sync with) it

1.5.0

  • Added: optional setting “Servir WebP automáticamente” — inserts/removes a .htaccess block (via WordPress’ insert_with_markers()/extract_from_markers()) that serves the .webp version under the same original URL when the browser supports it, with no redirects and no URL changes
  • Added: status indicators for mod_rewrite availability, .htaccess writability and whether the rule block is actually installed
  • Added: the .htaccess block is automatically removed on plugin deactivation and uninstall, leaving no leftover server rules

1.4.0

  • Added: optional “Keep thumbnail backups” setting (off by default) — when disabled, only the full-size original gets a .niquelao-bak copy instead of every generated thumbnail size, saving disk space and inodes
  • Added: new Maintenance screen to scan, download (as ZIP) and bulk-purge accumulated .niquelao-bak files, processed in batches via AJAX to support shared hosting with execution time/inode limits
  • Added: uninstall routine now also removes the temporary ZIP folder and the new backup-thumbs option

1.3.5

  • Fixed: settings page hook suffixes were calculated manually and didn’t match the real hook suffixes generated by WordPress (which derive from the top-level menu_title, not the menu slug), causing CSS/JS to fail to load on Bulk Optimization, Statistics and Diagnostics pages
  • Fixed: admin styles/scripts now use the real hook_suffix returned by add_menu_page()/add_submenu_page() instead of a hardcoded guess
  • Fixed: media library “Optimize” button (upload.php/post.php) registered its own style/script handle instead of relying on a handle that wasn’t enqueued on those screens
  • Fixed: synced plugin version number across the main file header, the NIQUELAO_VERSION constant and readme.txt Stable tag
  • Fixed: missing i18n wrapper on one bulk-optimization status string

1.3.2

  • Unified license to GPL-2.0-or-later across all files
  • Added full internationalization (i18n) via () and esc_html() functions
  • Updated Text Domain header to match plugin slug (niquelao-image-optimizer)
  • Removed deprecated load_plugin_textdomain() call (auto-loaded since WP 4.6)
  • Created uninstall.php to clean up table, options and postmeta on uninstall
  • Fixed require_once order: all includes at the top of the main file
  • languages/ folder ready for translations

1.3.1

  • Updated Plugin URI to kokeperez.es

1.3.0

  • Added automatic resizing with configurable maximum width and height
  • EXIF Copyright/Artist metadata now preserved after stripping (Imagick and GD)

1.1.0

  • WebP conversion support
  • Statistics page

1.0.0
