New
- Help & Docs section in the admin links straight to the documentation, getting-started guide, product page, and support.
- Discover section in the admin lists the other Wbcom Designs plugins and installs any of them in one click, with its free licence activated so it keeps updating.
- Documentation link in the admin sidebar, so the docs are one click away from every screen.
Improve
- Added database indexes to the profile-views table. Every view count, chart and visitor list previously scanned the whole table; on established communities these now use an index. Applied automatically on update.
- The Views tab chart loads faster on profiles with a large view history by summarizing data in the database instead of in PHP.
- Clearer wording on the notice shown when BuddyPress is not active.
- Each row of the Overview configuration summary now links to the setting that controls it, so a status reading Off is one click from being turned on.
- The admin now uses the shared Wbcom colour palette, so Who Viewed My Profile looks like the same product as the other Wbcom plugins instead of a different one.
- Admin sidebar navigation and section headings are easier to read, and now meet the WCAG AA contrast minimum.
Fix
- The "Exclude logged-out visitors" option now works correctly everywhere it is read - the Views tab chart, the visitor list, the admin Members Views columns, the Recent Visitor widget, and the Popular User widget. Anonymous visits are kept out of the counts when it is turned on.
- The profile view-count badge now appears on member directory cards in themes that load the directory dynamically, such as BuddyX and Reign.
- Corrected the dark-mode color on the member preferences description, and fixed dark-mode styling on Chrome for Android.
- The visitor count on the profile Views tab now pluralises correctly in every language, and the widget "Filter" button is translatable.
Dev
- Removed three unused settings left behind by the old admin, with automatic cleanup on update.
- New bpv_discover_products filter for the Discover list, and bpv_admin_help_links now also drives the sidebar Documentation link.
- Added a PHPStan level 5 configuration and cleared 124 of 142 reported issues, including bad PHPDoc types, missing string casts, and an unguarded settings read for logged-out visitors.
- Completed translation coverage - every remaining interface message is now translatable and the language template is refreshed.
Compat
- Raised the minimum requirements to WordPress 6.5 and PHP 8.0, and confirmed compatibility with WordPress 7.0.
