Selytho Page Flip Creator

Changelog

1.3.15

  • Updated the Pro upgrade link to the live checkout

1.3.14

  • Renamed the internal admin menu identifiers and the shortcode to use the plugin’s unique “slyth” prefix, avoiding any possible clash with other plugins
  • The shortcode is now [slyth_flipbook] (if you previously used the older tag, update your embeds to [slyth_flipbook])

1.3.13

  • Soft page-curl is now provided entirely by the Pro add-on — the free build no longer contains any disabled or restricted soft-curl code (full WordPress.org trialware compliance)
  • Control bar position, mode and distance are now available to everyone in the free editor’s Controls panel
  • Primary shortcode is now [slyth_flipbook]; the original [selytho] shortcode continues to work, so existing embeds are unaffected
  • Hardened input handling on the admin screens (all request reads are now explicitly sanitised)

1.3.12

  • Updated the bundled 3D engine and PDF rendering libraries to their current releases (resolves an out-of-date PDF library with a known security advisory)
  • The info-panel logo is no longer part of the free build at all — the free viewer shows the Selytho logo, and a custom brand logo is provided by the Pro add-on
  • Fixed page rendering after the library updates: pages now display as crisp white paper (no grey tint or soft text)
  • Hardened the PDF viewer’s error handling so a page that fails to render no longer stalls the rest of the book
  • Raised page texture resolution for sharper text, with a lighter setting auto-applied to very large documents to keep memory in check

1.3.11

  • Completed the output-escaping pass on the flipbook editor — the remaining conditional style and numeric-bound attributes are now escaped at output. No change to behaviour or appearance.

1.3.10

  • Hardened output escaping across the admin and viewer templates — every dynamic value is now escaped at the point of output to meet WordPress.org review standards. No change to behaviour or appearance.

1.3.9

  • Hardened output escaping on the editor’s Pro upgrade advert (logo and purchase link) to satisfy WordPress.org review standards
  • Raised the minimum WordPress version to 6.2, matching the secure identifier placeholder used in the view-statistics queries

1.3.8

  • Fixed collections (multi-PDF bookshelves) failing to display with a “no PDF URL provided” message — a shelf with one or more books now renders correctly
  • Fixed the editor live preview overflowing its box when padding was increased — the preview now scales to keep the whole viewer inside the frame
  • Book tabs in the viewer’s info panel now switch the displayed book, not just its information
  • Added a reader keyboard and mouse shortcut reference to the editor’s Controls help sidebar
  • Tidied a stray product label so the branding reads “Selytho” consistently

1.3.7

  • Rebuilt the flipbook-editor “Pro Features” panel so the free build shows an upgrade advert in its place — no disabled or locked feature controls are present without the Pro add-on
  • Completed the free/Pro split: all Pro feature defaults, saving, viewer output and the per-flipbook sound picker are now supplied exclusively by the Pro add-on, with the free build fully functional on its own
  • Updated the bundled 3D engine library to a current maintained release
  • Hardened the editor so it loads cleanly when the Pro add-on is not installed

1.3.6

  • Security hardening for WordPress.org compliance: the view-tracking endpoint now verifies a request nonce, all view-statistics queries use fully prepared statements, and admin sidebar output is escaped through an allowlist
  • No change to viewer behaviour or statistics

1.3.5

  • Renamed the plugin to “Selytho Page Flip Creator” (removed the restricted “WP” term from the name, slug and text domain) for WordPress.org compliance
  • Added a “Get Pro” link to the plugins-list row (shown on the free tier only)
  • Made the soft page-curl a true Pro-only feature: the free build no longer contains any soft-cover rendering code, so soft is unavailable without the Pro add-on
  • Removed the in-plugin Pro auto-installer and the licence-key entry from the free build; the upgrade screen is now advert-only, and all licence activation/status UI is supplied by the Pro add-on
  • Rebuilt the Settings “Pro Features” card, the Soft flip-style option and the Sound option so the free build shows an upsell only — no disabled or locked controls
  • Fixed flipbooks rendering as a tall, letter-boxed sliver inside block themes (constrained-layout width is now respected)
  • Redesigned the upgrade overlay: clearer benefit bullets, a taller hero image, and added points about custom logos and removing the Selytho branding
  • The “Created with Selytho Page Flip Creator” credit now links to the product page and reads consistently in the editor preview and on the front end
  • Kept the plugin menu open with all items visible while editing a flipbook
  • Removed unused bundled code (legacy viewer and the StPageFlip library) from the package

1.3.4

  • Increased minimum width on select dropdowns to 110px so the selected option no longer crowds the chevron arrow

1.3.3

  • Fixed native colour pickers (<input type=”color”>) being squashed to a thin line under WordPress 7.0 — restored to a proper 48×30 swatch
  • Added a custom chevron arrow and right padding to select dropdowns so the arrow no longer overlaps the option text under WordPress 7.0

1.3.2

  • Fixed Pro Features card “Upgrade” button and Licence card “Get Pro” button — both now open the in-plugin upgrade modal instead of navigating away to robsnow.eu

1.3.1

  • WordPress 7.0 compatibility — restored familiar form, button, checkbox and radio styling that WP 7.0 changed

1.2.9

  • Added per-flipbook Sound card — sample, select, or randomise from a pool of page-turn sounds
  • Added large document warning overlay with configurable page threshold (Settings → Performance)
  • Added sequential render queue (max 2 concurrent) — prevents CPU spike on large PDFs
  • Added progress bar during texture rendering
  • Added Sound default toggle to Global Defaults in Settings
  • Removed redundant Sound effect dropdown from Pro Features card
  • Fixed large document overlay not showing in admin preview
  • Fixed overlay re-appearing on refresh via sessionStorage confirmation
  • Settings layout switched to CSS masonry columns

1.2.8

  • Fixed sound not firing on every page turn — sound engine now clones Audio nodes per play so rapid flips never conflict
  • Fixed same sound repeating consecutively — added no-repeat shuffle across the sound pool
  • Updated page-turn sound effects
  • Fixed PDF metadata not loading on media library select — fetchPdfMeta no longer triggers a redundant preview rebuild when called alongside loadPreview

1.2.7

  • Fixed delete flipbook causing “headers already sent” warning by moving handler to admin_init
  • Fixed Info Panel Branding card moved to top of column 3 in Settings layout
  • Added fetchPdfMeta call on PDF select from media library (metadata loads without saving)

1.2.0

  • Added Statistics page with all-time totals and per-flipbook breakdown with inline bar charts and colour-coded read depth
  • Added Author and Pages columns to dashboard flipbook table, sourced from PDF metadata
  • Added PDF metadata save on editor open — author and page count stored as post meta
  • Added Viewer Settings panel — Flip Speed, Curl Amount, Interaction, Pan Direction (Pro: Auto Flip, Controls Position, Controls Mode)
  • Added RTL support — mirrored book geometry, inverted navigation and drag, info panel side swap
  • Added Auto-flip — loops through all pages and returns to start, wired to settings panel toggle
  • Added BlueSky to share panel; replaced WhatsApp
  • Added custom social share icon images
  • Added Quick Actions to dashboard sidebar — Create Flipbook, View Statistics
  • Renamed “Flipbook” to “Flipbook” throughout all user-facing admin UI
  • Fixed rectangle shadow appearing on page turn
  • Fixed shelf to single mode toggle not repopulating the flipbook name field
  • Fixed RTL toggle not updating admin preview live

1.1.0

  • WebGL engine integrated as primary rendering backend (Three.js + PDF.js)
  • Flipbook editor with live admin preview
  • Bookshelf mode — multiple PDFs in one flipbook
  • Info panel with per-book metadata overrides
  • Sound effects (Pro)
  • View tracking — views, pages seen, read depth per session
  • Lemon Squeezy licence activation
