Product-driven teams on WordPress have no built-in way to collect feature requests, let users vote, or show what is being built. Product Roadmap adds a public feedback board and roadmap where users suggest ideas, vote on priorities, and track progress through custom statuses. It reduces support tickets about future features and shows users that development decisions are driven by real feedback.
Product card action buttons (View Items, View Roadmap, Settings) and the Add New Product button align their icons with the label.
Vote and comment counts are hidden on the board when voting or comments are disabled, so a disabled feature no longer looks actionable.
User-suggested items now carry a Suggested badge on the board and a Source column in the admin list, so they are easy to tell apart from admin-created items.
Changelog frontend styling can be overridden by the theme (drop roadmap/changelog-frontend.css in the theme, or use the roadmap_changelog_enqueue_frontend_css filter).
Fix
Product theme colour now saves; the settings modal was missing its AJAX submit handler, so the Save button did nothing.
Product settings modal now loads the saved colour and default status when opened, instead of always resetting to the default blue.
Saved product theme colour now recolours the [roadmap] and [roadmap_changelog] frontend; the accent was previously wired only to the site theme colour and ignored the setting.
show_filters="false" on the [roadmap] shortcode and the Show Filters block toggle now hide the filter bar; the attribute was previously ignored.
Admin Vote Count now matches the frontend; the edit screen read a separate key that only demo import wrote, so the two never agreed.
Removing a vote now shows "Your vote has been removed" instead of the "vote submitted" message.
Setup wizard now opens automatically on first activation; the redirect flag was set but never acted on.
Demo content no longer imports twice when the wizard is re-run, which previously duplicated the sample items.
Setup wizard no longer accepts an empty product name submitted by a direct request; it falls back to the site title.
Disabling voting, comments or suggestions now revokes the matching capability so current_user_can() reports it correctly.
Security
Sanitize changelog items saved through the REST meta endpoint.
Dev
Remove a duplicate REST POST /comment route registration and an empty legacy demo-import hook.
uninstall.php now also removes the per-user notification opt-out meta.

v1.7.0

New 2 Improve 12 Fix 2 Dev 2 Compat 1
New
Fire roadmap_item_viewed on single-item views so the Pro addon can record views.
Load more pagination on the roadmap board so products with more than 100 items are fully browsable.
Improve
Fire roadmap_api_query_args so the Pro addon's advanced filters (priority, progress, assignee, date) apply.
Add created_at and item_created indexes to the votes table for faster analytics at scale.
Add uninstall cleanup (options, votes table, transients) and load the plugin text domain for translation.
Label the roadmap filter dropdowns for screen readers.
Roadmap board and changelog adopt the active theme's accent colour, falling back to the plugin blue on themes with no colour token.
Vote button shows a clear voted state (checkmark and Voted pill) that stays visible on themes which restyle buttons.
Changelog supports dark mode driven only by the theme's own light/dark toggle, never the operating system.
Rate-limit votes and suggestions (per user, or per IP for guests) and add a suggestion honeypot to block spam without a captcha.
Status-update emails now include an unsubscribe link, and the per-type notification toggles (vote, comment, suggestion) now take effect.
Board bundle is isolated so it renders on themes that define a global script variable named wp (such as Reign), instead of stalling on Loading.
Buttons, badges, chips and the timeline header adapt their text colour to the active theme accent, staying readable on light-accent themes in both light and dark mode.
Status, priority and changelog badges meet WCAG AA contrast in light mode.
Fix
Roadmap board rendered empty when the Pro addon was active due to a product filter type mismatch.
Changelog version header was unreadable under a dark theme; it now follows the theme toggle.
Dev
Version the built board assets by file modification time so a rebuilt bundle busts the browser cache.
Full frontend translation readiness: every Vue board string (timeline, filters, cards, modals, changelog) runs through the plugin text domain and ships in the POT.
