Changelog
2.5 — Major Platform Update
- NEW: Completely redesigned admin settings into a 3-tab interface (Button Design / Behaviour & Features / Shortcode Help) for dramatically improved UX.
- NEW: Email Gate — Visitors must enter an email address before downloading. Email is captured via AJAX, stored in the database, and the file downloads immediately — no page reload.
- NEW: Login Gate — Restrict downloads to logged-in users. Unauthenticated visitors are redirected to the login page and returned after authentication.
- NEW: Version-aware admin activation notice — A modern branded notice appears for new installs and upgrades, linking directly to the correct WPFID settings menu.
- NEW: Graceful fallback — If no image exists for a post and no
link=attribute is provided, a styled info notice is displayed instead of a broken download or HTML file.
