Jetonomy

Standard WordPress forums slow down once the community passes a few thousand topics. Jetonomy stores forum data in its own database so search, threading, and feeds stay fast at any size.

v1.5.0 Latest

June 26, 2026
New 13 Improve 9 Fix 15 Security 2 Dev 5 Compat 1

New

  • Instant navigation: moving between the home feed, categories, spaces, profiles, search, leaderboard, notifications and messages swaps the view in place instead of reloading the whole page, with the address bar and browser back/forward kept in sync. Built on the WordPress Interactivity API client-side navigation and applied uniformly across every community view.
  • First-time visitors get a welcome banner on the community home with a one-line intro, a live member/post/this-week pulse, and a "Create free account" call-to-action. Filterable copy; hidden for logged-in members.
  • Empty pages now guide you forward: drafts, search, leaderboard, profile tabs and space listings show a real styled call-to-action and next step instead of a dead end.
  • Community Media: a member-facing dashboard to browse and manage your own uploads, kept out of the wp-admin Media Library.
  • One-click install of the Wbcom stack companions straight from Settings > Integrations.
  • Space cards now show an "Active N ago" recency signal so you can tell at a glance which spaces are alive.
  • Avatar square-crop: uploading a profile photo opens a drag-and-zoom crop dialog so avatars are saved square; animated GIFs upload unchanged.
  • Space RSS feeds: every public space serves RSS 2.0 at /community/s/{slug}/feed/ with auto-discovery on the space page; private spaces stay private.
  • Remove a bookmark directly from the My Bookmarks page - the card drops off the list when you do.
  • Tag pages have a "Start a discussion tagged X" button that opens the composer with the tag pre-filled.
  • Conversations admin page (with Pro): paginated messaging oversight in wp-admin with thread detail and a compliance purge action.
  • Learnomy LMS access rules: spaces can be gated by Learnomy course level through the access-rule engine.
  • Space moderators can approve or deny join requests from the community front-end (on the space Members page), not only in wp-admin; approving admits the member and the requester is notified by email.

Improve

  • Posting a reply now adds it to the thread in place instead of reloading the page.
  • Space empty states speak the space's language ("Ask the first question" in Q&A, "Share an update" in feeds, "Suggest an idea" in idea spaces).
  • Logged-out visitors clicking the vote control on a post are now taken to log in (with a return link) instead of nothing happening.
  • Admin Dashboard "Pending Flags" is now a link straight to the moderation queue.
  • Resolving a flag as valid through the REST API now applies the full contract on every surface: content trashed, related flags cleared, reporter rewarded, webhook event fired.
  • Settings warns when your CAPTCHA provider and keys are mismatched.
  • Private spaces are now discoverable in the directory and search, shown with a Join or Request-to-join action, while their posts stay members-only; only hidden spaces are kept out of listings.
  • The front-end edit-space form now exposes the "Require moderator approval for new posts" setting, so space owners can toggle it without opening wp-admin.
  • The forum adopts your active theme's brand colour automatically across BuddyX, BuddyX Pro, Reign and the popular page-builder themes (Astra, Kadence, GeneratePress, Blocksy), in light and dark mode, with no custom CSS; themes that expose no brand colour fall back to a clean default you can override under Settings > Appearance.

Fix

  • Members can now pause all email notifications from Edit Profile (and admins per user); the verification reminder honoured this preference but nothing could set it.
  • Spam and Trash in the admin moderation queue now ask for confirmation before removing content.
  • Long-lived tabs refresh their session nonce automatically, so members no longer lose a reply to "Cookie nonce is invalid".
  • BuddyPress broadcast and activity-comment bridge now have on/off controls under Settings > Integrations (shown when BuddyPress is active); previously only changeable via WP-CLI.
  • Block titles (login "Join the conversation", navigation, user panel, feed) stay legible on themes whose content-heading styles previously repainted them dark-on-dark.
  • Analytics counting stays accurate through the content lifecycle: pending posts count on approval, trashed posts decrement their original day.
  • The approval-hold check now evaluates the post author instead of the current user.
  • The forum no longer injects its own brand colour into the site's global colour palette, where it could override the active theme's Primary colour; it reads the theme's colour instead of competing with it.
  • The notification action menu (mark read, delete) opens anchored to its button instead of mis-positioned, and notification cards no longer stretch full width.
  • A restrictive access rule added to a public space now gates the space (it is converted to private) instead of being saved but ignored.
  • The community-uploads filter is available in the Media Library grid view, not only the list view.
  • Block panels (user panel, feed, login, navigation) rendered a tinted background in dark mode on themes that expose no dark token, such as BuddyX; they now use the neutral surface colour like the rest of the community.
  • The Messages link in the user panel and the Message button on profiles no longer appear when private messaging is inactive, so they no longer lead to a 404.
  • Load More on paginated community routes (notifications and listings) no longer returns a 404 on later pages.
  • Database version constant bumped so the 1.5.0 migration runs automatically on upgrade.

Security

  • Search results, link-preview (oEmbed) cards, profile activity tabs, tag pages, trending lists and the recent-posts widgets no longer surface posts or replies from private or hidden spaces to people who are not members.
  • Importing a members-only wpForo board no longer flattens it to a public space; access-restricted forums import as private with approval to join, with a filter to map access per site.

Dev

  • Frontend REST calls route through a single client with automatic nonce-refresh on expiry; community views are fully declarative via the Interactivity API, so client-side navigation needs no per-route scripts.
  • jetonomy_post_publish_transition and jetonomy_reply_publish_transition hooks fire on every publish/unpublish transition with a +/-1 delta and the original creation date.
  • Removed three never-wired tables (space tags, user interests) with a guarded migration, the GET /space-tags route, three dead admin AJAX actions, and 30+ zero-reference methods.
  • PHPUnit suite green across PHP 8.1-8.4 x WP 6.7-6.9; contract-audit baseline and release gate added; CI now runs on dev branches with the full non-pro test matrix.
  • New front-end extension points so themes and companion plugins can customise without copying templates: jetonomy_profile_tabs and jetonomy_space_tabs (add or reorder profile and space tabs), jetonomy_space_card_after and jetonomy_member_card_after (inject into space and member cards), and jetonomy_dynamic_css (append --jt-* token overrides).

Compat

  • Aligned with Jetonomy Pro 1.5.0. Install both updates together.

v1.4.5

June 4, 2026
New 3 Improve 1 Fix 8 Dev 2 Compat 1

New

  • Custom fields on spaces: Pro custom fields now render and save on the create-space form, edit-space screen, and space sidebar.
  • Sidebar extension points: per-section visibility filters and before/after slots around About, Managed By, Trending, Top Members, and Popular Tags.
  • jetonomy_composer_toolbar action for adding buttons to the post composer toolbar.

Improve

  • Frontend create-space form now exposes Visibility, Join policy, and Category.

Fix

  • Reply-by-email: emailed replies are created again (missing listener wired).
  • Logged-out visitors on public communities no longer trigger 401 errors from reply polling; the new-replies banner now works for them on posts they can read.
  • Inline post editor can edit Pro custom fields; custom_fields included on PATCH.
  • New-post composer includes custom field values in the payload.
  • Category icons render through the icon helper on home and category views; duplicate category title removed.
  • Setup wizard only redirects on admin requests, never on frontend page loads.
  • Space edit screen loads its script on the edit-space route.
  • Select All works in the Community nav-menus meta box.

Dev

  • Space custom-field lifecycle hooks for create, edit, and display contexts.
  • Shared custom-field collector (window.jetonomyCollectCustomFields) replaces duplicated JS.

Compat

  • Aligned with Jetonomy Pro 1.4.5. Install both updates together.

v1.4.4

May 26, 2026
New 4 Improve 9 Fix 12 Security 1 Dev 10 Compat 1 Note 1

New

  • Background work runs reliably on every site, no extra plugins required.
  • One-click "Edit this space" link from any space page for owners and space admins, on desktop and mobile.
  • Set your own reputation point values for posts, replies, votes, and accepted answers right from Settings.
  • Moderators get quick jumps to the moderation queue and space tools from the admin bar on any community page.

Improve

  • Trust promotions, expired bans, scheduled posts, activity cleanup, and notification cleanup happen on time even on quiet sites.
  • The Report button tells you up front if you have already reported a post, instead of opening the reason form again.
  • The Edit Profile page now shows a clear "More about you" section above your additional fields.
  • Form fields and destructive actions stay readable in dark mode.
  • Award Badge in wp-admin uses the same look as every other Jetonomy admin button.
  • One consistent icon picker across categories, spaces, and badges.
  • Redesigned notifications page with filter tabs for all, unread, mentions, replies, votes, and badges.
  • Consistent "nothing here yet" screens across the plugin.
  • Tighter spacing on single Idea pages.

Fix

  • The License screen loads correctly on fresh installs.
  • Custom profile fields you fill out save properly and stay saved on reload.
  • Reporting a post deducts the published reputation penalty from the author. If a moderator decides the report was invalid, the points are restored automatically.
  • Moderation rules set to "Flag for Review" now actually flag matching content and surface it in the moderation queue.
  • BuddyPress dark mode flows through to community surfaces correctly.
  • Composer Private toggle alignment and Banned Users dialog tone match the rest of the admin.
  • Keyboard focus indicators stay where they should on the editor and feed actions.
  • Private ideas stay private when published from the inline composer.
  • Polls accept votes again.
  • Downvoting a reply reverts cleanly if the server rejects it.
  • The "More" menu on the last reply no longer gets clipped at the bottom of the screen.
  • Idea-planned reputation awards consistently across the activity log and notifications.

Security

  • All write requests share a single permission contract enforcing login, nonce, capability, and ownership in one check.

Dev

  • New filter `jetonomy_reputation_points_for` lets you override per-action point values; Jetonomy Pro uses it for the Settings UI.
  • New filter `jetonomy_reputation_points_map` lets integrations wholesale-replace the POINTS_MAP (e.g. WB Gamification per-community ladders).
  • New filter `jetonomy_reputation_pre_change` runs immediately before the DB write; return 0 to veto a delta (campaigns, sandboxed users).
  • New filter `jetonomy_leaderboard_items` lets host plugins enrich GET /leaderboards rows with cross-engine totals (badge count, level, alt currency) without a second REST round-trip.
  • `jetonomy_reputation_changed` documented signature aligned to the 4-arg shape the action has always fired (`$user_id`, `$action`, `$delta`, `$context`); previous 3-arg docs example was wrong.
  • New actions `jetonomy_post_created`, `jetonomy_reply_created`, `jetonomy_vote_cast`, `jetonomy_vote_retracted` for gamification integrations.
  • `jetonomy_idea_status_changed` now passes the post author ID as a fifth argument.
  • New filter `jetonomy_trust_level_pre_change` lets you veto or override auto-promotions.
  • New hooks documented in `docs/website/developer-guide/02-hooks-reference.md`.
  • Release zips verify bundled libraries are present before packaging so a clean clone cannot ship a broken release.

Compat

  • Aligned with Jetonomy Pro 1.4.4. Install both updates together.

Note

  • i18n - About 30 previously-hardcoded JS strings are now translatable.

v1.4.2

May 1, 2026
New 4 Improve 6 Fix 8

New

  • Show & Tell short-form feed space type with optional title and inline content cards.
  • Ideas roadmap view with four status lanes: Planned, In Progress, Shipped, Declined. Ideas without a curated status stay in the space's normal feed until an owner assigns one.
  • Q&A "Answered" badge surfaces on the space list when an owner pins the accepted answer.
  • Setup wizard step 1 offers all four community types (Forum, Q&A, Ideas, Show & Tell); sample data ships 6 spaces across all four.

Improve

  • Cleanup cron handlers (trust evaluation, expired restrictions, old notifications, scheduled posts) batch 500 rows per run. Filterable via `jetonomy_cron_batch_size`.
  • Network activation creates the required tables on every existing subsite and every new subsite created later.
  • Composer, login block, IA state, banned-member notice, header escape hint, prefix builder, and admin import flow are fully translatable.
  • Shared modal toolkit button labels and view.js modal helpers now translate (retag fix).
  • Keyboard focus indicators visible everywhere; aria-labels added to filter, bulk-action, and select-all controls.
  • Native browser confirm dialogs swapped for in-product modals.

Fix

  • Posts/replies-per-page setting controls the actual list length and the Load More click count.
  • Vote controls hide when an admin disables voting on a space.
  • Idea status changes notify the right people across the activity log, email digest, and in-app inbox.
  • Import progress AJAX requires the right capability, not just a nonce.
  • Setup wizard redirect skips under WP-CLI / REST contexts.
  • Settings save confirmations no longer disappear before the user can see them.
  • Login block stays light when the rest of the app is in dark mode.
  • Q&A accepting a second answer correctly clears the previously accepted reply.

v1.4.1

April 1, 2026
New 8 Improve 8 Fix 10 Dev 6

New

  • Public/Private community mode in Settings. Choose Public (anyone can read) or Private (every page requires sign-in). Applies to the whole front-end and to the REST API.
  • Activity Log admin page browses every audit event (post created, reply approved, member banned, role changed) with filters by user, type, and date range.
  • Revisions admin page browses every saved post/reply revision with a side-by-side diff between any two revisions.
  • Drafts tab at `/community/drafts/` lists every post you saved as a draft.
  • Bookmarks tab at `/community/bookmarks/` lists every post you bookmarked.
  • Verification reminder email sent once after 24 hours to members who registered but did not click the verification link.
  • "Reset to default" button on every notification email template restores the shipped subject and body in one click.
  • REST endpoints `POST /jetonomy/v1/moderation/bulk` and `GET /jetonomy/v1/posts/{id}/flags` for moderation tooling.

Improve

  • Every empty state uses the same partial with consistent icon, copy, and CTA placement.
  • Every customer-facing icon now comes from the Lucide icon set via `jetonomy_echo_icon()`. No inline SVG on customer surfaces; no WordPress emoji fallback.
  • Action density on post and reply cards capped at three primary actions, with the rest moved into a kebab menu.
  • Voting controls present upvote and downvote at equal weight, same touch target size.
  • Touch targets across the plugin meet the 44 x 44 px minimum; spacing uses CSS logical properties so RTL flips for free.
  • Per-role REST access matrix is now a verifiable contract. `bin/access-matrix-check.sh` runs 78 checks across 6 roles in either public or private mode and gates the build.
  • Manifest schema bumped to v2 with `auth`, `capability`, and `ownership_check` declared per REST endpoint.
  • Verification reminder cron and the admin "send test email" button route through the Email_Adapter registry.

Fix

  • Hidden spaces no longer leak from the homepage spaces list to non-admins.
  • Multi-space moderators see every queue they own at `/community/mod/`.
  • Remove button on flagged content actually removes the content (used to mark the flag valid without trashing the post or reply).
  • Voting works on every install (Pro analytics aggregator AJAX response corruption fixed).
  • Space cards render their icon correctly when only the icon name was saved.
  • Default qa-type space icon switched from a question-mark to an open book so multiple Q&A spaces do not all look identical.
  • New-post composer with Pro polls active no longer drops form fields between submit attempts.
  • 13 lifecycle hooks the Pro extensions had been listening for now fire end-to-end. White Label, Custom Fields, and Webhooks extensions activate on customer sites.
  • `jetonomy/search` Ability no longer fatals at runtime.
  • Search results report accurate totals; pagination of large result sets works correctly.

Dev

  • New helper `Jetonomy\Visibility` centralizes the public-or-private check (`can_view_community()`, `get_mode()`, `rest_check()`).
  • Schema migration adds `jt_user_profiles.verification_reminder_sent_at`. Runs automatically; rolls back cleanly.
  • `bin/local-ci.sh` runs full PHPStan + WPCS + PHPUnit gate locally against a wp-env Docker stack in under 2 minutes after warm-up.
  • New helper `Jetonomy\Models\Post::count_by_space_visible()` for accurate cursor pagination.
  • Manifest schema upgraded to v2.1 with cross-plugin consumed_by index and audit/derived/ cache.
  • New helpers `Jetonomy\header_logo()` and `Jetonomy\footer_text()` expose the documented branding hook contract.

v1.4.0

April 1, 2026
New 17 Improve 3 Fix 8 Security 2 Dev 5

New

  • Edit a space from the front end: title, description, cover, icon, type, visibility, join policy, category, posts-per-page, prefixes.
  • Create a space from the front end. Pick which roles can use the form in Settings -> Front-end space creation.
  • "My Spaces" page lists every space you run and every space you are in.
  • Visual icon picker with 16 icons, search, and "Show more" for 8 extras.
  • Cover image uploader works without the WordPress upload-files permission.
  • @mention autocomplete in the composer.
  • "New" pill on threads with replies you have not read.
  • "Managed by" sidebar card on every space.
  • Admin / Mod pills next to staff names on posts and replies.
  • Layout panel fits Jetonomy to your theme (Container Width, Sidebar, Padding).
  • Full search and social cards on every public page; smart fallback share image when a page has no image of its own.
  • Richer structured data: Sitelinks Searchbox on home, Person cards on profiles, Collection indexes on spaces and tags, breadcrumbs everywhere.
  • Settings -> SEO grew Twitter/X handle, default share image, sitemap link.
  • Image alt text fills in automatically on upload.
  • Login, register, forgot-password are faster and in-page (no wp-login.php bounce).
  • In-product confirm/alert/prompt replaces browser pop-ups (WCAG 2.1 AA accessible).
  • All 8 Jetonomy blocks now visible in the block inserter; shortcodes render styled on any page or page-builder canvas.

Improve

  • Role dropdown cannot accidentally orphan a space (no self-demote, no last-admin-out).
  • Pages that should not show in search (moderation, search, composer, notifications) are excluded automatically.
  • Captcha actually fires on signup when configured.

Fix

  • Category dropdown on Edit Space is no longer empty; "No category" saves correctly.
  • Space moderators without a WordPress editor role can again use the inline mod tools.
  • Join-request notifications link to the right place per recipient.
  • Notifications page no longer auto-marks everything read on render.
  • GDPR export contains the user's display name.
  • Tags on post cards link to the tag page; tag page paginates instead of capping at 30.
  • Share dropdown closes when you scroll.
  • Auth rate-limit window does not reset on retry.

Security

  • Banned users can no longer log in.
  • Private-post structured data no longer leaks to anonymous visitors.

Dev

  • `[jetonomy_widget id="..."]` shortcode embeds any widget on any page.
  • `jetonomy_seo_meta` filter to tweak the entire SEO payload.
  • `jetonomy_use_frontend_space_edit` filter to swap Edit Space target.
  • New REST endpoints: `POST /media`, `POST /auth/{login,register,lost-password}`, `GET /spaces/{id}/privileged-members`, `GET /users/suggest`.
  • Browser QA checklist and Phase D SEO plan ship with the plugin.

v1.3.8

April 1, 2026
New 14 Improve 7 Fix 15 Compat 1

New

  • Space admins and space moderators get their own moderation queue at `/community/s/:slug/mod/` showing only the flagged content inside that space.
  • Site admins land on a cross-space moderation dashboard at `/community/mod/` that summarises pending flags per space.
  • Space admins can promote members to moderator or admin from the front-end members page (`/community/s/:slug/members/`).
  • FluentCommunity integration auto-enables when FluentCommunity is detected. Pair spaces from Settings > FluentCommunity to render a "Discussions" tab on the FC space header and a sidebar card on the Jetonomy space.
  • Configurable Discussions tab label on the integration settings page.
  • FluentCommunity profile pages show a Discussions block listing the member's five most recent topics and the five topics they follow on the Jetonomy side.
  • Jetonomy profile pages cross-link to the member's FluentCommunity profile (button uses the FC Site Title for natural "View on <community>" reading).
  • Unified member avatars across Jetonomy and FluentCommunity.
  • Member sync across paired spaces (add-only on purpose so leaves do not propagate).
  • Activity broadcast posts new Jetonomy topics into the paired FluentCommunity space (one-way; toggle on the settings page).
  • Private topics never broadcast to FluentCommunity.
  • Comment-to-reply bridge mirrors FluentCommunity comments back as Jetonomy replies (only on broadcast feeds, preserves author attribution).
  • "Sync existing members now" button backfills paired space membership in both directions (capped at 5,000 per space per run).
  • BuddyPress integration broadcasts new Jetonomy topics into the paired BuddyPress group's activity stream; activity comments round-trip back as replies.

Improve

  • Plugin headings stay readable when the Reign theme (or any dark-panel theme) is in dark mode.
  • Accent tints (--jt-accent-light, --jt-accent-muted) re-derived against the panel background in dark mode.
  • Locked-space banner and warning notices are legible against dark panels.
  • Jetonomy no longer auto-applies dark mode based on the visitor's OS preference. Dark mode follows the theme only.
  • 14 translation-ready strings rewritten to drop em-dashes and awkward typography. No string keys changed.
  • Interactivity API exposes `isLoggedIn` and `loginUrl` so blocks and embeds can render the right CTA without extra REST calls.
  • Integration settings pages got section banners and clearer loader-gate documentation.

Fix

  • Sort modes (oldest, newest, unanswered) return the right set of topics.
  • Space settings are merged on save instead of overwritten.
  • Similar-topics widget no longer leaks HTML entities into titles; sitewide search ranks results by relevance.
  • Time picker on scheduled posts uses cross-browser hour and minute selects when the browser does not provide a native picker.
  • Online indicator sits on the avatar's top-right corner across all sizes.
  • Space listing Load More does not auto-preload the next page on first render.
  • Share dropdown closes when the page scrolls.
  • Profile tabs do not clip the Drafts tab on mobile.
  • Rewrite rules are flushed during activation so community URLs resolve immediately.
  • Profile Drafts rows navigate to the draft itself for one-click edit or publish.
  • Long words in user content wrap on mobile instead of pushing the app wider than the viewport.
  • TikTok videos render as proper iframes instead of caption-only text cards; copy-link shows visible feedback when clipboard write is blocked.
  • Forum members can attach images when creating posts (upload permissions no longer require a higher role).
  • Voting optimistically shows the correct score when flipping a prior vote.
  • FluentCommunity broadcast preserves paragraph breaks in the excerpt.

Compat

  • Upgrading from 1.3.7 does not require any migration.

v1.3.7

April 1, 2026
New 2 Improve 3 Fix 5 Compat 1

New

  • "Jetonomy Compose Topic" block (and `[jetonomy_compose_topic]` shortcode) lets signed-in members start a topic from any page on your site. Works in Site Editor, Elementor, Divi, Bricks, and WPBakery.
  • Sign-in prompt on the Compose Topic block shows a Lucide chat icon with side-by-side "Sign in to post" and "Create an account" buttons for guests. Register link only appears when registration is open.

Improve

  • Reaction picker draws crisp colour SVG icons that look identical on every browser and host configuration.
  • Block inserter reliably finds every Jetonomy block.
  • Compose Topic block's CSS and JS only load on pages that use the block.

Fix

  • Share button on a single topic opens the share menu in the right place; auto-flips above the button when there is no room below. Picks up crisp icons for Copy link, Twitter/X, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
  • Posting a topic without filling in the body now shows a clear inline message asking for the missing field (Pro Polls topics included).
  • Editing a topic that contains an uploaded image no longer wipes the image on save. Same fix applies to replies.
  • TikTok video previews and embedded players work everywhere, including short `tiktok.com/t/...` mobile-share URLs. Same fix covers Twitter (t.co), Reddit (redd.it and new mobile share links), Facebook (fb.watch), and Spotify (spoti.fi).
  • Embedded TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter posts no longer pick up the theme's blockquote styling.

Compat

  • Upgrading from 1.3.6 does not require any migration.

v1.3.6

April 1, 2026
New 5 Improve 1 Fix 7

New

  • Trending Topics block ranks community posts by recent engagement (votes + replies over a trailing window with time decay).
  • Forum Feed block scopable to a single space with a styled header and "View all" link.
  • Rich link previews on topics and replies render preview cards with title, description, and favicon via a local unfurling service.
  • Per-type email templates (welcome, mention, reply, digest, moderation, system) with theme override directory at `jetonomy/emails/`. Richer template context.
  • External plugins can open the community message composer programmatically via the shared `msgComposeOpen` state.

Improve

  • `wp jetonomy config get` dotted-path lookups return the effective runtime value when the admin has not explicitly saved that block.

Fix

  • Three-dot dropdown on topic and reply cards no longer gets trapped or clipped inside the card.
  • Users can no longer downvote their own posts or replies; REST vote endpoint rejects self-downvotes.
  • Private (`is_private`) topics are now truly private across archives, search, tag pages, and REST listings.
  • TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter/X links embed as real video/post players instead of falling back to oEmbed blockquotes.
  • Invite-only space journey: visiting `/new/` without an invite returns to the space with an inline error; stale "Join" CTAs hidden when the viewer has joined or has a pending request.
  • Spacing between the Post Topic button and the publish-options dropdown on the composer.
  • Tags admin page now writes nonce-protected requests.

v1.3.5

April 1, 2026
New 2 Fix 1

New

  • Jetonomy Navigation block renders the Category -> Space tree as sidebar navigation. Permission-aware, highlights the current space, scales to thousands of spaces.
  • Jetonomy Login block is a quick login and register panel for the community sidebar. Logged-out viewers see inline Login and Register tabs; logged-in viewers see nothing (no layout shift). Rate-limited and nonce-protected.

Fix

  • Editing a topic or reply no longer collapses paragraphs into a single run-on line. Historically broken posts render with their paragraphs restored on the next page load.

v1.3.4

April 1, 2026
New 6 Fix 2

New

  • Admins can approve a spam-flagged topic or reply in one click. Replies and Posts admin lists show an "Approve" / "Not Spam" action next to Trash for any row currently held for moderation.
  • Admins can refresh community member counts alongside topic and reply counters (one-click rebuild from 1.3.3 now repairs member drift too).
  • Spaces track real membership: posting a topic or replying in an open community auto-joins the author as a member.
  • One-time upgrade routine adds every historical author to the spaces they have contributed to so existing communities show accurate member counts immediately.
  • Moderation queue endpoint accepts `status=pending|spam|all` so admins managing by API can see spam-flagged items alongside pending ones.
  • Site admins can promote many members to a trust level in one call via the admin API.

Fix

  • Akismet no longer flags replies written by site admins or space admins/moderators as spam.
  • Approving, marking-as-spam, or trashing a topic or reply from the admin list correctly updates the topic count, reply count, and member contribution totals.

v1.3.3

April 1, 2026
New 2 Improve 1 Fix 1 Compat 1

New

  • Preserve original dates when seeding or migrating discussions. Topics and replies added by admins keep the date they were originally written.
  • Admins can rebuild community counters when they look off (topic totals, reply totals, member stats, vote scores).

Improve

  • Access Control settings collapsed to a single, clearer choice: "Public community" (anyone can read, login required to post) or "Private community" (login required to view anything).

Fix

  • "Default Space Type" setting now actually applies to new spaces (admin panel and API).

Compat

  • Existing installs migrated automatically. Private-community installs keep that behaviour and any default space type set during setup is carried over.

v1.3.2

April 1, 2026
Fix 1 Dev 1

Fix

  • Setup wizard no longer triggers PHP deprecation warnings (strip_tags null, print_emoji_styles, wp_admin_bar_header) on WP 6.4+ with PHP 8.1+.

Dev

  • New-post form submit action is filterable via `jetonomy_new_post_submit_action`.

v1.3.1

New 10 Improve 8 Fix 16 Compat 1

New

  • Share forum threads anywhere. Paste any topic URL into Slack, Twitter/X, Discord, Facebook, or another WordPress site and see a rich preview card with title, author, excerpt, space, and thumbnail.
  • Embed YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, Spotify, TED Talks, and other supported links inline.
