1.0.361 (2026-10-22)

• Changed: The plugin now needs PHP 8.2 or newer. PHP 8.1 no longer receives security fixes. If your site still runs PHP 8.1, ask your host to move it to 8.2 or newer before updating
• Added: Trial bookings now record when you marked them as contacted. The date shows under the status on the Trial Classes screen, in the booking details and in the report
• Fixed (Premium): The Reports tab on the Trial Classes screen showed nothing when you clicked Generate Report, and Export CSV downloaded an empty file. Both work again, and the report now counts and filters contacted bookings
• Fixed: Filtering the Trial Classes list by “Contacted” showed every booking instead of only contacted ones
• Fixed: Add Member could only link a member to an existing WordPress user. You can again create a new WordPress account for the member, or leave the user empty to keep the member under your account with their email saved for later
• Fixed: Settings → User Accounts listed no members and its “Create users” button did nothing. It lists members kept under an administrator account again and creates their logins, linking brothers and sisters who share an email to one account
• Fixed: Bulk Archive and Activate on the Members screen did nothing, and the “members archived” message never appeared
• Fixed (Premium): Data → Export “Include Photos” produced a plain JSON file without photos, and ZIP files could not be imported. Both work again
• Fixed (Premium): Event notification emails accept several comma-separated addresses again
• Fixed (Premium): The Group and Membership Type columns of the class enrolment CSV were empty
• Fixed: Some admin messages showed “undefined” (Page Access and Training Videos) and others were not translated
• Fixed: Activating or updating the free version could write “Failed opening” PHP warnings to the error log
• Fixed: The first page load after activating the plugin could log “translation loading was triggered too early” notices for this plugin and WooCommerce

1.0.360 (2026-10-21)

• New (Premium): Activity Log — see who changed members, attendance, kiosk sign-ins and trial bookings, with filters, CSV export, retention and privacy tools.
• Added: Bulk actions on the Belt Colors screen. Tick several belts and activate or deactivate them in one go
• Added (Premium): Add belts to a group, replace their groups, or remove them from a group in bulk. Removing a belt’s last group makes it available to everyone, and the confirmation says so
• Added: Bulk actions on the Trial Classes screen. Tick several bookings and mark them contacted, confirmed, completed, cancelled or pending, or delete them
• Added (Premium): Bulk actions on the Classes screen: archive or restore classes, assign or remove an instructor, and change location. Archived classes keep their enrolments
• Fixed (Premium): Archived classes kept sending “class starts soon” reminders to enrolled members. Archiving now stops them, and restoring a class turns them back on
• Added (Premium): Bulk activate or deactivate instructors on the Instructors screen. Deactivated instructors keep their current classes
• Fixed: The Confirm and Cancel buttons on trial class bookings showed “An error occurred” and did nothing. They work again
• Fixed (Premium): Editing a member on the Members screen did not show or save their groups, and saving removed any groups they already had (since 1.0.356). Check the groups of members edited since then
• Fixed: On sites using object caching (for example Memcached), a belt that had just been renamed, deactivated or deleted could still be accepted under its old key for a few minutes
• Fixed (Premium): If saving a belt’s groups failed part-way, the belt could end up with no groups, making it available to every group. The belt is now left as it was and the error is reported

1.0.359 (2026-10-08)

This release also contains 1.0.358, which was prepared but never published separately — if you are updating from 1.0.357, all of the below is new to you.

• Added: Instructors can reopen sign-in for a class that is running late. In Instructor Mode on the kiosk, a “Reopen sign-in” button appears once a class is past its sign-in cutoff; one tap lets students keep signing in for the rest of that session, and the class locks again as normal next time
• Added: New Late Sign-In Grace setting (default 30 minutes) controls how long after a class’s scheduled end students can still sign in
• Fixed: Name, PIN and bulk sign-in now follow the same late cutoff as QR sign-in. Previously a student could be refused by QR scan but signed in by name at the same moment
• Fixed: Classes that run past midnight (for example 11:00 PM to 12:30 AM) now work on the kiosk. Before, they could not be saved, and the kiosk could not find them before or after midnight
• Fixed: Attendance for a class that runs past midnight is recorded on the date the class started, so one session’s register is no longer split across two days and a student cannot be signed in twice either side of midnight
• Improved: Class times are checked as a duration. An end time earlier than the start is treated as running past midnight, and anything over 12 hours is rejected as a likely typo
• Fixed: Activating the plugin from the Plugins screen failed with “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error” (since 1.0.356). Updating an already active plugin was not affected
• Fixed: The kiosk page at /kiosk/ could show “Page not found” after the plugin was reactivated, until permalinks were re-saved. The kiosk address now repairs itself on the next page load
• Updated: Freemius SDK to 2.13.5
• Compatibility: Verified against WordPress 7.1.3 and WooCommerce 11.2.1

1.0.357 (2026-09-09)

• Improved: QR sign-in now records attendance against the class you have selected on the kiosk, instead of guessing from the time. When two classes overlap, scans go to the class you picked rather than the one the clock suggests
• Added: A warning now appears on the plugin’s screens if your WordPress timezone is not set, or is set to a fixed offset such as “UTC+1” rather than a city. Class times, attendance and scheduling are all compared against that setting, and a fixed offset looks correct until the clocks change. Choosing a city such as London or New York handles daylight saving for you

1.0.356 (2026-08-27)

This release also contains everything from 1.0.354 and 1.0.355, which were prepared but never published separately — if you are updating from 1.0.353, all of the below is new to you.

• Fixed: Class times displayed an hour or more out on the Class Register, Member Area, trial booking pages and kiosk whenever your site was not set to UTC. A class saved as 6:00 PM now shows as 6:00 PM everywhere. Your existing classes are unchanged — only the display was affected
• Fixed: Dates and times recorded by the plugin (member joined, attendance taken, booking received) could be saved an hour or more out on some hosting, because they were stamped by the database server’s clock rather than your site’s. All new timestamps now use your WordPress timezone
• Fixed: The Recent Attendance “Time” column on the dashboard showed 12:00 AM on every row instead of the actual sign-in time
• Fixed: The Recent Trial Bookings time on the dashboard could show the wrong hour on some hosting
• Fixed: A class scheduled inside the hour the clocks skip forward on a daylight-saving change could never be picked up by the kiosk
• Compatibility: Verified against WordPress 7.1 final
• Fixed: Plugin admin styles and scripts no longer load on screens the plugin does not own — they previously loaded on every wp-admin page, including the post editor
• Fixed: Row actions (Edit, Trash, View) in WordPress’s own Posts, Pages, Users and Plugins lists are no longer forced permanently visible by this plugin — they hover as WordPress intends again. Inside the plugin’s own screens they stay visible as before
• Fixed: Styling on the Belt Colours, License Reminders and Members pages could fail to load, leaving those screens looking unformatted
• Improved: Member photos now accept WebP, so pictures from newer phones work, and the file type is checked from the file itself rather than what the browser reports
• Improved: One consistent rule for every date and time in the plugin, protected by automated tests so it cannot drift again
• Improved: The media library is no longer loaded on admin pages that never use it, and database maintenance checks no longer run while rendering admin notices
• Note: existing records are untouched and display exactly as before; only newly saved dates use the corrected clock
• Note: if your timezone is set to a “UTC+1” style offset under Settings > General, consider switching to a city such as London or New York so daylight saving is handled for you

1.0.353 (2026-07-30)

• Added: Members “By User” view (FREE) — a new tab on the Members screen that groups members under their user account, with a per-user “select all” and bulk actions: Set Active/Inactive, Change membership, Assign belt, Send email, and Export selected to CSV (Assign group and Enroll in class are premium)
• Added: Per-member row actions in the By User view — View Details, Edit, Download Photo, Print Card, and Archive/Activate (Belt History on premium), matching the flat members list
• Added: Group and Club filters plus Group and Club columns in the By User view (premium)
• Added: WooCommerce compatibility declarations for High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS / custom order tables) and Cart/Checkout Blocks — clears the “incompatible with currently enabled WooCommerce features” admin notice
• Fixed: Order product-member association tracking now uses WooCommerce order CRUD (HPOS-safe) instead of order post meta
• Improved: Syllabus PDF attachments are clickable and open in a new tab in the editor; a new PDFs column on the syllabus list shows attachments at a glance (premium)
• Improved: Members filter bar and bulk-action toolbar layout, and button icon alignment across the Members and Belt History screens
• Improved: Per-requirement instructor notes on the Syllabus Progress screen — notes are preserved when a sign-off is cleared (premium)
• Fixed: Class times no longer shift by the timezone offset in the schedule grid
• Fixed: Syllabus tables are created on upgrade for installs that first activated before the syllabus feature existed (premium)

1.0.352 (2026-06-10)

• Added: Syllabi and Syllabus Progress in Export/Import — syllabi export with their nested requirements and PDF references (JSON and CSV), and member sign-off progress is matched back by belt colour and requirement title on import (premium)
• Added: “Download PDFs (ZIP)” on the Syllabus list — bundles every PDF attached to every syllabus into a single archive, organised one folder per belt (premium)
• Fixed: Import dispatch now includes syllabus progress, so sign-offs are restored alongside the syllabi they belong to (premium)

1.0.351 (2026-06-07)

• Added: Syllabus & Grading Progress system (premium) — publish grading requirements per belt, each with a description and an optional video (picked from your training video library or pasted as a URL) or PDF attachment
• Added: Syllabus Progress sign-off screen — instructors tick off individual requirements per member, and the system records who signed off and when (premium)
• Added: [macm_syllabus] shortcode — members see their own grading requirements in a per-belt accordion with read-only completion markers (premium)
• Added: Three member display modes for the syllabus — “Show all belts”, “Up to current grade”, or “Up to next grade” (premium)
• Added: Reusable member View Details modal, now also opened by clicking a member’s name in the event registrations list
• Fixed: Modal centring and overlay behaviour across admin screens

1.0.350 (2026-05-30)

• Added: QR Code Sign-In System (premium) — members view, regenerate, and download a permanent personal QR code from the Member Area, and admins can regenerate any member’s token from the member edit screen
• Added: Kiosk “Scan QR” mode — one scan resolves the member and the class currently in session and marks attendance, with no class picker, member search, or PIN
• Added: The printed membership card now includes the member’s QR code
• Changed: Minimum PHP requirement raised to 8.1 (required by the QR code library)
• Fixed: Kiosk scanner falls back to the front camera when no rear camera is available, and repeated scans of the same code no longer flood the roster

1.0.348 (2026-05-09)

• Added: manage_macm_instructors capability

1.0.346 (2026-05-08)

• Added: Instructor Bookings — public booking form ([macm_booking]) for private and open-session bookings, with multi-member checkout, WooCommerce paid path (instructor session pricing), free admin-confirm path, and conflict detection
• Added: Instructor Availability — recurring weekly slots and date-specific overrides, managed by admins or by instructors themselves via [macm_instructor_availability] on WC My Account

• Fixed: Paid-instructor bookings now correctly route to WooCommerce checkout (the hidden “Instructor Session” WC product self-heals on upgrades that skipped re-activation)
• Fixed: Cron only auto-cancels paid-path pending bookings — admin-pending bookings (free instructor / no-WC paths) are never auto-expired
• Fixed: Trial booking action buttons (Mark Complete, Pending, Confirmed, Cancelled, Contacted) now work — asset cache-busters use MACM_VERSION and confirm dialogs show readable prompts
• Fixed: Instructor availability grid — single-click on a slot now selects correctly (a redundant click handler was double-toggling)
