OTHER

8.1.1

Release date: 2026-06-22

FIXED

• Fixed visitor confirmation cookie not being saved, which caused the age verification popup to appear on every page load.
• Fixed popup button click handlers not firing when another plugin on the same page also used generic button1 / button2 element IDs.
• Fixed the popup markup being scheduled more than once per page when multiple visibility rules matched at the same time.

OTHER

• Popup action buttons now use unique IDs (surbma-ynp-button1, surbma-ynp-button2) and bind events within the popup modal container.
• Popup output is now rendered only once per page load.

8.1.0

Release date: 2026-05-19

FIXED

• Fixed PHP warnings on the settings page when no options have been saved yet (fresh install).
• Fixed incorrect use of esc_attr__() and esc_attr_e() on dynamic option values in the popup output and settings fields (now uses esc_attr(), esc_url(), and integer casting where appropriate).

OTHER

• Restored load_plugin_textdomain() on the init hook (replacing the 8.0.1 removal that did not resolve the notice).
• Deferred translatable settings option labels to admin_init so they no longer run at plugin load time.
