v1.2.5 – Changes and fixes

Added

• Styles module to manage CSS independently of the scripts.
• Dashicon for each module title.
• Instructions for external HTTP requests hardening - See it in security module (thanks to @ozgursar for his related LinkedIn's post).

Changed

• Split the scripts module to begin the CSS styles.
• wp-sniphub.php and wpsh-admin.css to include and display Dashicons for each module title.
• All favicons files with WPSnipHub logo instead of my own site logo.

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where the browser tab notification emoji was displayed incorrectly or as plain text in some environments (thanks to @valentin-grenier).
  • Improved reliability of the browser tab title animation when the page loses focus.

Technical details

• Replaced a raw UTF-8 emoji in inline JavaScript with explicit Unicode escape sequences.
  • This prevents character encoding issues caused by PHP → JavaScript injection and ensures consistent rendering across browsers, servers, and build environments.

v1.2.0 – Improvements, Enhancement, Module creation guidelines & WordPress.org compliance

This release focuses on standardizing module development, improving WordPress.org compliance, and providing clear contributor guidelines.

Added

• Official module creation guidelines (README.md):
  • Clear philosophy: clean, isolated, maintainable modules
  • Mandatory wpsh_ prefix rules for all global symbols
  • WordPress.org–compliant escaping, i18n, and security practices
• Guidelines for WPSnipHub module creation:
  • Plugin Check compliance checklist
  • Naming conventions and common pitfalls
  • Validation steps before submitting a module
• Standardized official module template for WPSnipHub
• Plugin Check checklist added for contributors and maintainers

---

Changed

• Global refactor of all modules to comply with Plugin Check and WordPress.org rules:
  • All global functions are now consistently prefixed with wpsh_
  • Removed third-party or generic prefixes (theme_, my_, wpds_, woo_, etc.)
• Improved code readability and maintainability across all modules:
  • Clear function naming aligned with module responsibilities
  • Consistent hook registration patterns
• Improved internationalization (i18n):
  • All user-facing strings now use the wp-sniphub text domain
• Improved date and time handling:
  • Replaced deprecated or discouraged PHP functions with wp_date()

---

Fixed

• Plugin Check errors across all modules, including:
  • WordPress.NamingConventions.PrefixAllGlobals.NonPrefixedFunctionFound
  • WordPress.Security.EscapeOutput.OutputNotEscaped
• Output escaping issues:
  • All URLs now escaped with esc_url()
  • All HTML attributes escaped with esc_attr()
  • All visible text escaped with esc_html() / esc_html__()
• Admin notices and frontend outputs now fully WordPress.org compliant
• Shortcodes, helpers, WooCommerce, Gravity Forms, media, login, cleanup, and publication modules now pass Plugin Check without critical errors

---

Security

• Hardened all modules against unsafe output:
  • No raw echo of dynamic data without proper escaping
• Restricted sensitive features (uploads, SVG, JSON, etc.) to administrator capabilities
• Ensured safe admin-only execution where required

---

Developer Experience

• Modules are now:
  • Fully isolated and independently disable-able
  • Easier to audit, extend, and maintain
• Clear separation between:
  • Initialization logic
  • Business logic
  • Hooks and filters
• Reduced risk of conflicts with themes, plugins, or WordPress core

---

Compatibility

• Fully compatible with:
  • WordPress.org Plugin Review guidelines
  • Plugin Check (no blocking issues)
  • Modern WordPress versions (including block editor environments)
• Safe integration with third-party plugins (WooCommerce, Gravity Forms, Greenshift, etc.)

---

Notes

This release is primarily a quality, compliance, and maintainability milestone.
No breaking changes for end users, but significant internal improvements to ensure long-term stability and WordPress.org compatibility. Even though WPSnipHub is not intended to be published on the official plugin repository
