WPYog Documents

1.5.0

New Features

• Added columns shortcode attribute — display documents in a 2, 3, or 4 column grid layout. Example: [wpyog-document-list columns=”2″]. Responsive: collapses to 2 columns on tablet, 1 column on mobile.
• Added live Shortcode Generator admin page (replaces static Shortcode Reference). Includes category dropdown populated from real categories, columns selector, limit, sort, and display options with a one-click copy button.
• Added “More Plugins” section to the Shortcode Generator page showcasing WPYog Team, WPYog News, and poppinsdigital.com.

Design / CSS

• Complete frontend CSS redesign — replaced plain bullet list with a professional card-row layout.
• Color-coded file type icon badges: PDF (red), Word (blue), Excel (green), PowerPoint (orange), Images (purple), ZIP (yellow).
• Hover effects: accent left-bar, icon scale, download button lift shadow.
• Download action rendered as a pill icon button with aria-label.
• Date displayed as a rounded badge.
• Description shown with a light hairline separator.
• Single document box styled with left accent border and hover lift shadow.
• Fully responsive — mobile (≤768px) collapses all layouts to 1 column; tablet (≤900px) collapses 3–4 columns to 2.

Admin UX

• Admin sidebar menu label changed from “WPYog Documents” to “Documents”.
• Admin sidebar icon now renders correctly on all admin pages (not just document screens).
• Updated Author and Author URI to poppinsdigital.com.
• Updated plugin description shown in the WordPress Plugins list screen.
• Shortcode column in the document list retained for quick copy.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed missing wp_reset_postdata() after both WP_Query loops — was corrupting the global $post for anything rendered after the shortcode.
• Fixed incorrect esc_html() on an array in the single document shortcode.
• Fixed wpautop() wrapping shortcode output — was injecting <p> tags inside <ul>/<li> causing invalid HTML.
• Fixed $wpdb->prepare() usage — SHOW TABLES query now uses prepare() with %s placeholder and esc_like().
• Fixed unsafe $wpdb direct table name interpolation in legacy upgrade routine — now uses esc_sql().
• Fixed description overflow in multi-column layouts — switched from margin-left to padding-left with box-sizing: border-box.
• Fixed title text rendering vertically in document list — added flex: 1; min-width: 0 to title link.

Code Quality / Security

• Removed extract() from shortcode function — replaced with explicit variable assignments.
• Scoped admin CSS and JS to wpyog_document post type screens only (was loading on all admin pages).
• Added WPYOG_DOCUMENTS_VERSION constant for proper asset cache-busting on updates.
• Added if ( ! defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) ) exit; guard.
• Prefixed all template variables with wpyog_ for WordPress coding standards compliance.
• Renamed save_wpyog_document_meta_data → wpyog_save_document_meta_data.
• Added translators comment for aria-label sprintf call.
• Frontend CSS now loads only when a shortcode is present on the page (lazy load).
• All upgrade notices trimmed to under 300 characters.
• Tested on WordPress 7.0. Requires WordPress 5.0+.
