Illdy Companion

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

1. Upload the whole contents of the folder illdy-companion to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress dashboard
3. Enjoy using it :)

2.3.0 Modernisation pass for WordPress 7 / PHP 8.5. Verified by booting the plugin together with the Illdy theme on WordPress 7.0.2 / PHP 8.5.6: the pair now produces zero PHP notices, warnings or deprecations, where the previous release produced seven. Compatibility

• Fixed "Translation loading for the illdy-companion domain was triggered too early" on WordPress 6.7 and later. The dashboard widget was built while the plugin file was still parsing, and translated its title before init.
• Recent Posts widget no longer raises an undefined-key warning every time it is saved with the "Display title" toggle off; an unchecked checkbox is never submitted.
• Importer guards three get_option() results before indexing them. Assigning an index on false is deprecated in PHP 8.1.
• Front page importing checks wp_insert_post() for errors and reuses existing pages instead of creating a duplicate "Front Page" and "Blog" on every run.
• Widgets fall back cleanly when an attachment has been deleted instead of indexing a false return value.
• Requires PHP 7.4 or later. Security
• The attachment lookup used by the widget media pickers now requires the upload_files capability and a nonce. It previously ran for any logged-in user with neither, which let a subscriber resolve any upload's URL, including media attached to private or draft posts.
• Demo import steps are validated against an allowlist. The requested step name was interpolated straight into a static method call.
• The dashboard widget escapes the remote blog feed's titles and links, which were printed into wp-admin unescaped, and renders dates in the site timezone.
• Escaped image URLs in the Person, Project and Testimonial widgets and 105 field attributes across all seven widget forms.
• Person widget social links now open in a new tab with rel="noopener noreferrer"; target and rel were previously placed on the icon element instead of the link for Twitter, LinkedIn and GitHub.
• Project widget links carry their title as visually hidden text. The link's only content was an empty overlay element and its only label a title attribute, which screen readers do not reliably announce, and its image is a CSS background so there was no alt text either — the link was announced with no name. Nothing about the design changes. It also fixes the widget reporting "No preview available" in the block widget editor, which treats markup with no text and no image as an empty preview. Browser support
• Removed IE-only CSS: progid:DXImageTransform filters and -ms-transform from Font Awesome, and the @-o-/@-ms-keyframes duplicates from the icon picker.
• user-select now has a standard declaration rather than only prefixed ones. Demo importer
• The importer is now a tab on Appearance -> About Illdy. It previously had no UI of its own — it handed a block of HTML to the theme's "Recommended Actions" list and ran through the welcome screen's generic AJAX dispatcher using a nonce the theme created. It now registers a tab through the theme and owns the nonce and the endpoint itself.
• If the active theme has no About Illdy screen, the importer registers its own page under Appearance instead, so it is never unreachable.
• The import asks for confirmation first. It replaces your Customizer settings and front page widgets, which was never stated before the old one-click button ran.
• What gets imported is unchanged. The same three steps write the same values, so a site importing today gets what it would have got from the previous release. Performance
• Admin CSS and JavaScript no longer load on every wp-admin screen. Font Awesome and the icon picker load only on the widgets screen, and the importer script only on its own page: roughly 50 KB per admin page request.
• The Person, Project and Testimonial widgets stopped calling wp_enqueue_media() on every admin page, matching the guard the Service and Skill widgets already had.
• Every asset is versioned so plugin updates invalidate caches.
