3.2.20 – 2026-05-15

• Fixed: The Active Bar color set on the Audio Player Customization page was ignored on the front end and the playing progress bar always rendered in the default blue. The inline player JavaScript was overwriting the element style with a hardcoded color on every play and time update; the color now follows the value you pick in the player settings.

3.2.19 – 2026-05-14

• New: The Documentation page is now a live index of every TTSWP help section, replacing the previous placeholder. Each section card shows the title, a short description, and the current article count, and opens the matching page on ttswp.com/docs in a new tab. Sections are fetched live (cached locally for 12 hours) so new articles and section additions appear without a plugin update.
• New: Added a built-in AI documentation assistant to the Documentation page. Ask questions in natural language and get pointed straight to the right setup steps, feature explanations, or troubleshooting article without browsing the docs manually.

3.2.18.1 – 2026-05-14

• Fixed: 3.2.18 was published missing two new internal files (the Dashboard widget class and the shared upgrade-features partial), which caused a fatal error on sites that auto-updated to 3.2.18. This patch re-publishes the same release with both files included.

3.2.18 – 2026-05-14

• New: Added a “Text to Speech — TTSWP Latest” widget to the WordPress Dashboard that shows the latest plugin release notes and the three most recent articles from the TTSWP blog, so you can keep up with new features, accessibility tips, and SEO guides without leaving your admin area. Content refreshes automatically every 12 hours, and you can hide the widget at any time from Screen Options.
• Improved: Free users on the My Plan & Credits page now see the same two-column plan and credits card as paid users, including the full credits meter, monthly reset date, and a clear Upgrade Plan + Top up action row. Replaces the previous slim summary banner.
• Improved: Upgrade plan cards on the My Plan & Credits and Upgrade Plan pages now display in a clean side-by-side grid (Pro Lite → Pro → Agency, with 2 or 3 columns depending on how many upgrade options apply to your current plan) instead of stacking full width, so plans are easier to compare at a glance.
• New: Added an “Every paid plan includes” feature summary section below the plan cards with three grouped cards — Premium Audio, Automation, and Integrations — listing the most useful PRO capabilities so you can see what an upgrade unlocks before committing.
• Changed: In the plugin sidebar under Account, “My Plan & Credits” now appears above “Upgrade Plan” so existing customers reach their plan management page first.

3.2.17 – 2026-05-11

• New: Added the new Pro Lite annual plan ($29/year) for users who already have an ElevenLabs API key and want every Pro feature without TTSWP monthly credits. Audio is stored locally on your WordPress server instead of TTSWP-managed cloud storage.
• New: The plugin now respects a new “cloud_storage” capability from the SaaS account API. Plans without cloud storage (Pro Lite) display the correct “stores audio locally” status on the Settings page and skip TTSWP-managed S3 upload prompts.
• Improved: The Account page now reflects up-to-date plan names and prices straight from the SaaS billing source of truth, so renames and price changes propagate without a plugin update.
• Changed: Pricing copy across the Account and License pages updated to match the current public pricing on ttswp.com/pricing.

3.2.16 – 2026-05-09

• New: The plugin Overview page now shows your current plan, credits remaining, and the next monthly reset date for paid and Agency users, so you can see your account status without leaving the main settings screen.
• Fixed: H3 heading blocks no longer break in the Gutenberg block editor. The plugin’s admin styles were leaking a global rule that forced every H3 element to render as inline-flex, pushing H3 headings to the far left of the editor canvas. Reported on the WordPress.org support forum.
• Fixed: On the Upgrade page, switching between Monthly and Yearly billing now updates each plan’s displayed price. A selector typo in the on-page script was preventing the price update from running.
• Fixed: Restored the visible gap between the player preview card and the settings form on the Audio Player Customization page.
• Improved: Tightened the plugin’s admin CSS so its color picker, range slider, and tooltip rules apply only on plugin pages. Previously these rules could affect controls on other admin screens, including the WordPress block editor.
• Updated: Plugin metadata and readme to clearly identify Norse Digital Group LLC as the software publisher.

3.2.15 – 2026-05-03

• Fixed: Clicking “Upgrade” on a PRO voice in the Voices page no longer opens the legacy Lemon Squeezy checkout modal. Upgrade buttons across the plugin now go straight to the in-plugin billing page.
• Improved: PRO voices are easier to spot in the voice list. The PRO badge on the voice avatar is larger and outlined, the row gets a purple accent, and the upgrade call-to-action is a clearer button with a lock icon.

3.2.14 – 2026-05-02

• Fixed: On free-plan sites the audio player did not appear after generating audio.
• Fixed: The player’s attribution popup text was being read aloud at the start of generated audio.
• Changed: Free-plan audio is now saved to wp-content/uploads/text-to-speech-tts/ (alongside paid-plan and shortcode audio) instead of wp-content/uploads/tts/. Files written by 3.1.0 through 3.2.13 still play via a read fallback, so no manual migration is needed.

3.2.13 – 2026-05-01

• Fixed: On free-plan sites where audio files are downloaded locally to the uploads/tts/ folder, the player now loads correctly even when post-meta has been cleared. The check that decides whether to load the player on a page now also looks in this folder, completing the filesystem fallback added in 3.2.12.

3.2.12 – 2026-04-30

• Fixed: Player no longer disappears on posts whose audio was generated before the plugin started saving its post-meta marker, on free-plan sites where automatic generation cannot run, and on sites using Media Offload where the audio file is recorded only in the speeches table. The check that decides whether to load the player on a page now also looks at the speeches table and the audio folder on disk, matching how the player itself locates the audio file.

3.2.11 – 2026-04-29

• Improved: Player styles and scripts are no longer loaded on posts and pages that have no generated audio. This trims unused CSS and JavaScript from page weight on sites where most posts do not use the audio player.
• Improved: On multilingual sites (Weglot, WPML), the player styles and scripts are now loaded only on language variants of a post that actually have audio. Previously, generating audio for one language caused the player assets to also load on language variants where no audio existed.
• Improved: A short pause is now spoken after every heading (H1 to H6) in the article body, matching the existing pause after the post title. Long articles with multiple sections now sound more natural.
• Developer: When Debug Mode is on and the player script does not load on a page, the console message now explains why (no audio, post type not enabled, or no shortcode) instead of just printing “Player Settings: Not found”.

3.2.10 – 2026-04-23

• Fixed: Fusion Builder posts where body text is wrapped in bold tags (instead of paragraph tags) now generate audio for the whole article. Previously only the call-to-action or FAQ block at the end of such posts was read aloud. Your settings stay the same.

3.2.9

• New: Optional “Remote Debug Logging” toggle in Advanced settings. When enabled on a site connected to TTSWP, diagnostic events (content lengths, extraction flags, errors) are streamed to the TTSWP support dashboard so issues can be diagnosed without needing access to wp-admin or the server. No content is sent unless the separate “Include Content Samples” toggle is also enabled.

3.2.8 – 2026-04-23

• Fixed: Posts with a Read More break now generate audio for the full article body, not just the teaser paragraph. Affected Fusion Builder and other page builders that render only the teaser when audio is generated from the post list or via automatic generation. Your settings stay the same.

3.2.7 – 2026-04-22

• Improved: Smaller plugin package. Your settings stay the same.

3.2.6 – 2026-04-22

• Improved: Faster admin page loads.
• Improved: Internal cleanup. Removed unused files and code left over from earlier versions. Your settings stay the same.

3.2.5 – 2026-04-20

• Fixed: Truncate After on the CSS Selectors page now applies when regenerating audio for Weglot languages from the post list.
• Fixed: Regenerating audio now always re-applies your current settings (Truncate After, Include / Exclude Selectors) instead of reusing the text that was extracted on the first generation.
• Improved: When you run out of credits, the plugin shows a clearer “Not enough credits” dialog with Top up and Upgrade buttons, and the actual numbers you need and have left.

3.2.4 – 2026-04-20

• New: Truncate After setting on the CSS Selectors page. Enter one or more strings (one per line) and audio generation stops at the first match in the page. Useful for cutting off footnotes or reference sections.
• Fixed: Deleting audio now also removes the file from the CDN cache, so listeners stop hearing a deleted track once its CDN entry expires.
• Fixed: Regenerating audio and creating new audio now invalidate the CDN path on every write, so listeners always hear the latest version without waiting for the cache to refresh on its own.

3.2.3 – 2026-04-20

• Fixed: On the CSS Selectors page, saving the Content Selectors or Blocked Selectors field no longer clears the other field. Both textareas now save together.

3.2.2 – 2026-04-20

• New: Weglot per-language rows are back in the post / page list. Generate, play, regenerate, or delete audio for each Weglot language straight from the list. Translation happens automatically for destination languages.
• New: The Information button is now available in the Sticky Footer player, not only the inline player.
• Fixed: On the Player settings page, the Sticky Footer preview now updates in real time when you toggle Time, Volume, Speed, Download, Information, and Button background, and when you change Play Icon Size, Font Size, Player Padding, or Margin Bottom.

3.2.1 – 2026-04-19

• Fixed: Deleting audio from the post list sometimes left the old audio in place after a page refresh. Audio now clears on the first try.
• Improved: The Download button in the post list now opens a save dialog instead of opening the audio file in the browser, even when audio is stored on the CDN.

3.2.0 – 2026-04-18

• New: When your site isn’t connected to TTSWP, a Connect Card now appears at the top of every plugin page. You always see how to get started.
• New: Pages that need a connected site show a greyed-out preview with one Connect button. No more clicking buttons that don’t work yet.
• New: Getting Started cards on the Overview page after you connect. Three quick steps: choose a voice, customize the player, generate your first audio. Hide them once you know your way around.
• New: Download button in the TTS column on your posts list. Grab the audio file for any post in one click.
• New: Text to Speech menu in the WordPress admin bar with quick links to Voices, Player, Shortcode Generator, Statistics, Plan & Credits, and Documentation. Visible from both the backend and your site front-end.
• New: Longer single-request limits. Free users can now generate up to 10,000 characters per request, paid users up to 40,000. Turn longer articles into audio in one go.
• Improved: The Overview page still shows the welcome screen (free credits, voice demo, stats, and help links) when your site isn’t yet connected.
• Improved: Long audio generation is more reliable. The plugin now waits longer for ElevenLabs to finish, so files that used to time out after 30 seconds complete properly.
• Improved: Clearer errors when audio generation fails. If the voice you picked has been deleted from your ElevenLabs account, or your text is longer than the chosen model accepts, you now get a message that tells you what to do.
• Improved: The Overview page now shows “ElevenLabs key invalid” when your API key stops working, so you know to update it. No more misleading green status pill.
• Improved: ElevenLabs credits on the Overview page now show per-key limits if you’ve set one (on app.ttswp.com), not the account-wide limit.
• Improved: Security fixes and code cleanup.
• Fixed: Saving Quick Settings sometimes showed a permission error instead of returning to the Overview page.

3.1.9 – 2026-04-08

• New: Sticky Footer Player (PRO). A persistent audio player bar that stays at the bottom of the page while visitors scroll and read. Includes play, pause, seek, volume, speed control, and download
• New: Waveform Progress Bar (PRO). A unique visual waveform for each post replaces the standard progress bar. Shows playback progress in real time with your chosen accent color
• New: Background Opacity setting for the Sticky Footer Player. Make the player background semi-transparent so page content is visible underneath
• New: Player settings now show a live Sticky Footer preview at the bottom of the admin page when Sticky Footer placement is selected
• New: Progress Bar type selector in Player Settings. Choose between Linear (free) and Waveform (PRO)
• Improved: Upgrade card on the Account page now shows your current plan’s credit allocation
• Improved: “Upgrade plan” button replaces “Change tier” on the Account page for clearer messaging
• Improved: Player color settings now update on the frontend immediately after saving (no more stale cached styles)
• Improved: Player icon colors now follow your chosen Accent color setting

3.1.8 – 2026-04-07

• Fixed: Shortcode player not rendering when audio is stored on cloud (paid plans)
• Fixed: Shortcode audio mapping now persists between sessions for cloud-hosted files

3.1.7 – 2026-04-01

• New: Locale-aware number normalization — numbers, percentages, and years are now spoken in the correct language (Dutch, German, French, and 25+ languages)
• Fixed: European number formats (e.g. 8,52% and 5.083.173) were mispronounced or read in English
• Fixed: WPML admin language was overriding the plugin’s TTS language setting in the Shortcode Generator

3.1.6 – 2026-03-31

• New: Numbers, currency, and percentages are now converted to spoken words before synthesis (e.g. $22,200 → “twenty-two thousand two hundred dollars”, 2% → “two percent”)
• Fixed: Shortcode audio generator was missing number normalization, causing TTS to mispronounce amounts
• Fixed: ElevenLabs Playground was sending raw text without any preprocessing

3.1.5 – 2026-03-31

• Fixed: Audio was being auto-generated on every page visit for paid plan users, regardless of settings
• Fixed: Auto-generation on page visit now correctly respects the “Auto-generate on publish” setting
• Fixed: Credit usage from auto-generation was not logged in the “Credit Usage by Post” table

3.1.4 – 2026-03-31

• Removed: Remote telemetry collection and usage tracking to external servers
• Fixed: License page no longer blocked for free plan users

• Improved: Audio Library now shows a toast notification when audio is successfully regenerated

3.0.1 – 2026-03-25
