There are no FAQ just yet.

1.1.1

  • Security: the front-end script now receives only the setting it uses, instead of every saved setting (excluded URLs, custom URLs).
  • Tweak: updated the js-cookie library to 3.0.5.

1.1.0

  • Compatibility: tested with WordPress 7.1.2 and PHP 8.3. Replaced the deprecated jQuery .click() shorthand and $(document).ready() so no jQuery Migrate warnings are logged.
  • Security: all settings are sanitized on save and all output is escaped.
  • Fix: settings saved by 1.0.0 no longer trigger PHP notices; missing values fall back to defaults and unchecked boxes stay unchecked.
  • Fix: an empty custom login/registration URL now falls back to the WordPress default when excluding those pages.
  • Fix: the close button is a real button, reachable by keyboard and screen readers, with a visible focus outline.
  • Tweak: settings fields are properly labelled, and the cookie note shows the actual (filterable) cookie length.
  • Tweak: text domain changed to visitor-login-notice.
  • Dev: the localized JS object is renamed from ajaxObject to vlnData; unused AJAX URL and nonce removed.

1.0.0

  • Initial release of the plugin.
