1.7.0

• Pro: Badge → WordPress role assignment — each badge rule can grant a WP role when earned and remove it when the badge is lost
• Safe by design: only roles the plugin added are ever removed; a customer's existing roles are never touched. Click "Recalculate All" after changing a rule's role to apply it to existing customers
• Core: new extension points (ait_wcb_rule_card_fields action, ait_wcb_save_rule filter) so the Pro module adds per-rule fields without touching the free core

1.6.1

• Fix: HPOS badges not being assigned — HPOS stores order statuses without the wc- prefix; queries now use the correct format per storage backend

1.6.0

• WP.org compliance: WP.org build now ships a fully functional free edition — no locked or disabled features
• Free features: 1 badge rule (product match, completed status), badges column on Orders and Users lists, manual badges on user profiles, full diagnostics
• Pro features (unlimited rules, categories/tags, webhooks, import/export, etc.) are available in Innosanctum Customer Badges Pro
• Upsell: single tasteful notice at the bottom of settings linking to the Innosanctum Customer Badges website

1.5.16

• Fix: "Badges column" checkbox in Display settings is now correctly shown as disabled (Pro feature) for free users
• Fix: HPOS Orders column hooks retain both legacy and WC 9+ screen ID variants

1.5.15

• Fix: Badges column now appears in HPOS Orders list under WooCommerce 9+ / 10.x — new standalone-menu screen ID (wc-orders) added alongside the legacy submenu screen ID

1.5.14

• Cleanup: removed per-request diagnostic Init log lines added in 1.5.13

1.5.13

• Diagnostics: System Status now shows show_badges_column, order_badge_position, and debug_enabled settings
• Diagnostics: Init log now records plugin version, show_badges_column value, and Pro/Free mode on every page load
• Diagnostics: User profile badge save now logs whether it was reached, permission result, and which POST keys were present

1.5.12

• Fix: Display settings (Badges column toggle) now saves reliably — same direct-DB write used for rules
• Fix: Plugin settings now read directly from DB, bypassing all cache layers (same fix as rules)
• Fix: Removing all manual badges from a user profile now correctly clears them on save (previously skipped if no rows remained in the form)

1.5.11

• Fix: free version no longer forces badge rule to stay enabled — the enabled/disabled toggle now works correctly in all editions

1.5.10

• Fix: Upgrade to Pro link now points to innosanctum.gumroad.com (was stale serhiievsky.gumroad.com URL)
• WP.org build: plugin header and readme body now branded as "Innosanctum Customer Badges"
• Landing page: footer link updated to github.com/innosanctum; WP.org alias note added

1.5.9

• Display settings: new "Badges column" checkbox to show/hide the Badges column in Orders and Users list screens
• Diagnostics: "Manual Recalculation" section removed — Recalculate All button moved into the Diagnostics card
• Diagnostics: "Copy System Status" renamed to "Generate System Status" to better describe what the button does

1.5.8

• Fix: rules now stored as JSON instead of PHP-serialize — json_encode() escapes emoji as \uXXXX (pure ASCII), making emoji in badge labels work correctly even on MySQL utf8 (non-utf8mb4) databases

1.5.7

• Fix: rules save now writes directly to DB via $wpdb, bypassing WordPress object-cache comparison — fixes silent no-op saves caused by stale Redis/persistent-cache entries (WP Rocket)

1.5.6

• Innosanctum Customer Badges mascot shown in plugin settings page header
• Admin page slug changed to woo-badger (?page=woo-badger)
• Settings UI now reads rules directly from DB, bypassing all cache layers (WP Rocket, Redis, object cache) — fixes stale label/color display after save
• Background recalc uses direct SQL instead of wc_get_orders() — fixes badges being incorrectly removed in AS background context
• Emoji-safe save log format (4-byte emoji stripped from log, preserved in rules)

1.5.5

• Show in Lists checkbox per rule: controls whether a badge appears in the Badges column on Users and Orders list screens
• System Status now shows each rule's full criteria (slug, label, match type, IDs, statuses) — aids diagnosing empty recalc
• Save log now includes match type and product/category/tag IDs per rule, so you can confirm what was actually saved
• Background and manual recalc logs now show the rule criteria snapshot at job start

1.5.0
