RIACO Reviews – Customer Reviews & Testimonials

1.2.2

• Security: added sanitize_text_field() around nonce values read from $_POST in Admin, ReviewSource, and ReviewProduct — resolves PHPCS InputNotSanitized warnings.
• Fix: renamed the global $plugin variable to $riaco_reviews_plugin to avoid naming conflicts with other plugins.
• Fix: corrected strtotime() truthiness guard in all three card-style templates from if ($ts) to if (false !== $ts) — reviews dated 1970-01-01 now display their date correctly on the frontend.
• Fix: replaced number_format() with number_format_i18n() for the compact star-rating value in the Modern card style.

1.2.1

• Bug fixes and minor improvements.

1.2.0

• Taxonomy rename: riaco_review_tag renamed to riaco_review_product; the admin menu now shows Reviews → Products instead of Tags.
• Shortcode attribute rename: tag → product, show_tag → show_product, tag_bg → product_bg, tag_text_color → product_text_color. Old tag= attribute still accepted for backward compatibility.
• Block attribute rename: tagFilter → productFilter, showTag → showProduct, tagBg → productBg, tagTextColor → productTextColor. Old saved blocks continue to render correctly via a compatibility shim.
• CSS rename: .riaco-reviews__card-tag → .riaco-reviews__card-product; –riaco-tag-* custom properties → –riaco-product-*.
• DB migration: on first load after upgrade, the plugin automatically renames the taxonomy slug and migrates _riaco_tag_url / _riaco_tag_type term meta keys — no manual action needed.

1.1.0

• Initial release.
• JSON-LD structured data: the plugin now outputs schema.org Review structured data automatically in the page footer for every rendered review, enabling Google rich results with no configuration.
• Tag metadata: two new fields on the Reviews → Tags (now Products) edit screen — “Product / Subject URL” and “Schema.org Type” — let you specify what each entry refers to so itemReviewed in the structured data is as accurate as possible.
• riaco_reviews_json_ld_data filter: modify or suppress the JSON-LD object for individual reviews before output.
• Multiple blocks/shortcodes on the same page produce a single <script> tag with a @graph array rather than one script per shortcode.
• Accessibility: added :focus-visible outlines to all interactive links; improved colour contrast on muted text (date, author handle, source name) to meet WCAG 2.1 AA.
• Dark mode: CSS custom properties now have sensible dark-mode defaults via prefers-color-scheme: dark (overrideable via block/shortcode colour controls).
• Mobile: reduced card padding at <480 px; modern card footer now wraps to avoid overflow on narrow screens.
• Card hover: subtle lift effect with prefers-reduced-motion guard.
• Empty state: improved padding and alignment for the “No reviews found” message.
• Block editor: added Wide / Full alignment support; new “Title Heading Level” control (H2–H6); help text on the Min Card Width slider; “Reset all settings to defaults” button.
• Heading level: heading_level attribute/parameter (default 3) lets you control the HTML heading tag for review titles across block and shortcode.
• Dashboard widget: new “Reviews Overview” widget on the WP admin dashboard showing published review count and average rating.
• Shortcode reference: contextual help tab on the Reviews list screen listing all [riaco_reviews] parameters and defaults.
• i18n: admin media-uploader strings (“Select Avatar”, “Use this image”, “Select Logo”) are now translatable via PHP localisation.
• Bug fix: strtotime() truthiness check corrected to false !== $ts to handle edge-case epoch dates.
• Security: source logo save capability tightened from manage_categories to manage_options.
• Tooltip: title attribute added to truncated author names and product badges so full text is accessible on hover.

1.0.2

• Added filter-by-tag support: tag shortcode attribute and tagFilter block attribute (renamed to product / productFilter in v1.2.0) let you show only reviews assigned to a specific tag.
• Block editor: new “Filter by Tag” dropdown (now “Filter by Product”) in the Display Settings panel, populated from existing tags without requiring REST API access.
