2.9.1
Fixed theme compatibility: all CSS colour and typography variables are now self-contained – no longer inherited from an external stylesheet. Plugin now renders correctly on Divi, Extra, Disputo and other themes that previously caused text, button colour, or font bleed-through issues.
Added defensive CSS resets on all buttons and inputs so Divi/Extra global button styles cannot override plugin elements.
2.9.0

All public-facing references updated to wAnswers branding.
Plugin homepage and author URL updated to wbuild.dev.
2.8.2

Settings page visual refresh with branded section headings, orange save button, and styled footer credit card.
Removed the search icon character from the main Q&A feed search box.
2.8.0

Replaced all hardcoded /register/ URLs with wp_registration_url() for full portability.
Generic default archive title and subtitle – no site-specific copy baked in.
Settings page footer with live demo and GitHub links.
Footer credit toggle added to Settings – checked by default, freely removable.
2.7.1
Bugfix: Profile pages had no horizontal padding on mobile screens.
Bugfix: Lifetime vote counts showed 0 for users who existed before vote tracking was added – now lazily backfilled from the votes table on first profile visit.
