PDF Gallery Viewer

Changelog

1.8.1

  • Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 7.0
  • Fixed: screenshot captions in the plugin listing were shifted and no longer matched the actual screenshots; added the missing 6th screenshot (tooltip/truncation demo)

1.8.0

  • Added a Settings page (Settings > PDF Gallery Viewer) for site-wide accent color, surface color, text color, and corner radius
  • Added a default layout setting (grid/list/slider)
  • Added a per-gallery accent_color override, available as a shortcode attribute and a Gutenberg block color control
  • Manual drag & drop ordering is now fully functional: dragging reorders items, “Salva ordine” saves the order server-side, and it now correctly persists across page reloads
  • Fixed: saved manual order was being ignored on reload for galleries built with the Gutenberg block
  • Fixed: button hover color and icon color did not follow the accent/text color settings (were hardcoded)
  • Fixed: block-presence check used the wrong block name and never matched (asset loading already worked via the shortcode check, so no user-facing effect)

1.7.1

  • Added missing Text Domain header for translations
  • Removed unused internal global variable
  • Documented why manual drag & drop ordering controls remain disabled (client-side wiring incomplete)

1.7.0

  • Performance: thumbnails now lazy-loaded via IntersectionObserver (renders only when item enters viewport)
  • Performance: all scripts and styles skipped on pages without a gallery
  • Privacy: Font Awesome now served locally — no CDN requests
  • Privacy: PDF.js worker now served locally — no CDN requests
  • All external network dependencies removed
