Beta Changelog for Super Speedy Filters

Changelog

4.60 Beta (30th March 2023)

• Fixed undefined $currentterm warning in tax widget with certain display options

4.59 Beta (30th March 2023)

• Fixed inline filters shortcode ssf_inline_filters for non-archive pages to ignore hooks & priorities and just run the inline filters in the order configured in the settings page
• Fixed missing key 'title' warning
• Fixed 'Show Cat as Filter' option so that clicking 'Clear All' takes user to category with no other filters selected as opposed to taking the user to /shop/
• Fixed .dialog-container CSS so it doesn't affect other plugins that use this class
• Re-added tax-widget fragment cache

4.58 Beta (29th March 2023)

• Final fixes for hook positions for inline filters. You can now attach to hooks, use priorities to control order of events, layer brand or category images over archive product images, position after title etc

4.57 Beta (17th March 2023)

• Added language template files to allow more comprehensive translation of all text strings
• Added left alignment, right alignment and center alignment option for displaying inline images for inline filters below the product name

4.56 Beta (8th March 2023)

• Fixed warnings which were occurring on upgrade due to missing config for inline filters

4.55 Beta (24th February 2023)

• Fix for JS show active multiselect filters (if ?expand_ was in URL, nothing was being marked on screen as selected)
• Added per-taxonomy display position for Inline filters
• Added per-taxonomy priority order for inline filters
• Added layar-over-image display position option to configure the inline filter to float on top of the bottom left of the image, typically for brand logos on top of images
• Improved CSS for inline filters

4.54 Beta (23nd February 2023)

• Fixed JS issue with marking currently selected filters as selected on /page/2
  • this fix also fixes marking selected filters active if there are any other non-filtering params in the URL, e.g. ?fbclid=X
• Fixed JS issue with showing selected count of currently active filters in popout container buttons (was working on first button with active filters but not subsequent ones)
• Fixed rare (possibly multisite only?) URL parameter config issue where the config could end up as an object instead of an array, which in turn caused URL parameters (taxonomies without archives) to fail
• Fixed redirect/404 issue which can occur with Permalink Manager Pro - if we've taken control of the main query, we set do_not_redirect = 1 since Permalink Manager Pro tests for the 'queried_object' and queried_object presumes a SINGLE queried object when in fact we can query multiple taxonomies

4.53 Beta (23nd February 2023)

• Added link generation fix for multisite networks with subdirectories for each site (was generating links like /nl/product-category/clothing/nl/brand/adidas/)

4.52 Beta (22nd February 2023)

• Added a function to the woocommerce_attribute_added and woocommerce_attribute_updated hooks so if users edit the 'has archives' or the tax qualifier, our options get updated
• Added improved code to flush permalinks after saving options
• Fixed url parameters as slugs rather than just ids if user selects this option
• Fixed attribute image code so if an attribute does not have the 'enable archive' checkbox that it still gets a thumbnail option in case a user wants to display URL attributes as images in the filters
• Added Permalink Manager Pro compatibility so users can have /adidas/shoes/ and /nike/shoes/ in their URLs

4.51 Beta (21st February 2023)

• Further template fixes so Greenshift always works on correct template
• Fix for Greenshift to figure out which GS query is the MAIN query so stuff actually filters

4.50 Beta (21st February 2023)

• Overhaul of template selection code so that it only changes the template if UseSSS template hierarchy is selected
  • Otherwise, it uses the template of the first taxonomy presented in the taxorder
  • This means you should probably never have to use the Use SSS Template Hierarchy now and this feature may get removed in future
• Overhaul of URL rewrites so we don't need the code to rewrite 0 = 1
  • i.e. if there are 2 or more terms in a URL, we always grab the correct slug(s) for the first taxonomy, so that means the term is found by WP and the correct template
  • This means if a term is missing, it should 404 properly now
  • It also means no more template switching for Greenshift builder, divi etc - you can switch on ALL the options in the Advanced tab
• Rework of Woo titles and page titles override to make more sense
  • specifically, we never overwrite the title or description if only 1 term with an archive has been selected
  • if 2 or more terms exist, THEN our code kicks in to rename SHOP to whatever you have configured in the SEO tab
  • Also added code to remove the shop description when more than 1 term exists since Woo defaults to showing that which doesn't make sense here

4.49 Beta (9th February 2023)

• Fixed 'Children' display to not display header if no children exist

4.48 Beta (8th February 2023)

• Added new defines.php option SSF_FORCE_WOO_QUERY_VAR_OVERRIDE
• Added new defines.php option SSF_DEFAULT_TEMPLATE
• Added new defines.php option SSF_SHOP_AS_HOME_TEMPLATE_OVERRIDE
• Improved template handling to find taxonomy templates better and avoid overruling templates when a tax template was successfully found
• Fixed warning with is_main_query() being called too early (was not causing issues, just notices in QM)
• Thoroughly tested shop-as-home-page - the new SSF_SHOP_AS_HOME_TEMPLATE_OVERRIDE works perfectly with its default value

4.47 Beta (1st February 2023)

• Fixed bug with empty data 0 = 1 - this was breaking 404 pages where with SSF enabled, 404 was instead loading standard post archives
• Fixed bug with term updates (caused filter lists to become out of date requiring rebuild). Was incorrectly trying to update object_ancestors table when post was saved, but terms are actually saved AFTER this.

4.46 Beta (25th January 2023)

• Added CSS fix for Apply Range filter button - some themes were setting this crazy wide
• Added SSF_FORCE_TEMPLATE_OVERRIDE rule and fixed incorrect overriding of templates when user had not chosen this in URL tab. If you NEED to force template override on your theme, set define('SSF_FORCE_TEMPLATE_OVERRIDE', true); in your wp-config.php and LET US KNOW so we can investigate further and decide if this should become a detected/built-in option.

4.45 Beta (14th January 2023)

• Added backtick quotes around table names for customer who has table prefixes starting with a number

4.44 Beta (11th January 2023)

• Hotfix for Woo detection to fix on multisite installs

4.43 Beta (11th January 2023)

• Fixed detection of active WooCommerce plugin when used on Multisite installations and WooCommerce has been Network activated - previously required WooCommerce to be locally activated
• Fixed detection of active Woo if Woo is a must-use plugin
• Added 2 new hook positions for inline filters in preparation for helping Glyn with his beautiful inline-brand filters

4.42 Beta (24th November 2022)

• Fix for new PHP 8.1 deprecated warning

4.41 Beta (14th November 2022)

• Couple of minor fixes for warnings
• Added is_shop_titleable to pre_get_posts to refactor code and ensure pre_get_posts only runs on shop pages

4.40 Beta (28th October 2022)

• Fix to stop pre_get_posts running when it shouldn't, now checks our is_shop_titelable function

4.39 Beta (26th October 2022)

• Further fix for multiselect on hierarchical - if user has parent selected, then selects child, the parent is deselected (previously was only other way around) - now, parents & children of same tree can never be selected at the same time
• Removed sorting of slugs for multiselect - instead we sort by termID and then grab the slugs, this guarantees that parents of slugs will go together with their related child
• Fixed multiselect narrowing on hierarchies so it correctly counts NARROWED items rather than counting as if expanded

4.38 Beta (21st October 2022)

• Fixed filter by color etc when stock check was not enabled

4.37 Beta (21st October 2022)

• Fixed inline filters when dealing with variations so they pull terms from the parent product
• Fixed multiselect on hierarchical taxonomies so that select/deselect JS works properly
• Fixed Existing Filters with multiselect on hierarchical taxonomies so it shows all selected items, not just the first one
• Updated CSS for hierarchical taxonomies - parent is no longer marked checked when children are selected, only selected children are marked checked
• Fixed existing filters so it can handle multiselect for product categories
• Updated CSS for range handles so upper range tooltip is contained within its box
• Updated CSS for range numerics to not have max-width which some themes set

4.36 Beta (19th October 2022)

• Fixed bug which was causing additional variations to not appear in post.php
• Added new defines SSF_REMOVE_SHOP_FROM_BREADCRUMBS - set it to true in your wp-config.php to remove the link to /shop/ or whatever your shop URL is from your breadcrumbs

4.35 Beta (19th October 2022)

• Altered post_type check to just check if post_type product exists in array or as string, and set it if it doesn't (when we're on a woo archive) - fix for some themes
• Fixed h1 titles option to be FORCE h1 titles. The advanced option now is the override for both of these, and you can optionally use force h1 if your theme doesn't display the h1 for some reason.
• Added new Show Filtered Variations option - if a user filters on red, if color is enabled in this setting, the red variation image will be shown in the archive rather than parent image
• Fixed fww_object_ancestors maintenance - was getting out of sync
• Tested SSF_OPTIMISE_TAX_QUERIES thoroughly - this is ready to go live
• Fixed stock check attributes so it checks stock on these items even if they are not currently being filtered, e.g if filtering by size M, but only colour is set to stock check, we still need to check colour has size M in stock

4.34 Beta (14th October 2022)

• Renamed SSF_PREVENT_FILTERS_BEING_FILTERED_BY_SEARCH to SSF_MAKE_FILTERS_BE_FILTERED_BY_SEARCH and inverted the conditional check. SSF_MAKE_FILTERS_BE_FILTERED_BY_SEARCH is OFF by default. Still not fast enough. It runs against the superspeedysearch table rather than the object_ancestors table. If your search results tend to restrict searches enough to few enough rows you can enable this. This got added because of a client with large taxonomy descriptions which meant a lot of items being matched. Even with them being sorted to the bottom, building the filters and their counts still was expensive.

4.33 Beta (14th October 2022)

• Updated addH1titles to be FORCE h1 titles. Now if you use the normal advanced option, it will try to filter woocommerce_page_title. However, some themes do not use this so we have the option to force the h1 title in those cases.
• Added new define('SSF_PREVENT_FILTERS_BEING_FILTERED_BY_SEARCH', true); to prevent filters being filtered by search by default, change it to false if you want the opposite
• Reduced usage of object cache - no longer storing widget HTML, just storing the SQL keyed on the md5 of the query. This fixes another bug where if we didn't know about a URL parameter and it was present the first time the widget was generated, that param would stick around.

4.32 Beta (10th October 2022)

• Updated nouislider CS/JSS to latest from https://github.com/leongersen/noUiSlider
• Added new filter for get_categories to remove _pad_term_counts if Remove Woo Baggage option is enabled

4.31 Beta (4th October 2022)

• Companion fix for SSS SKU search against child variations. Now works with beta show single variations option and without.

4.30 Beta (4th October 2022)

• Extra debug

4.28 Beta (4th October 2022)

• Added some hidden debug HTML comments output to assist with debugging H1 titles on a site I do not have SFTP access to

4.27 Beta (3rd October 2022)

• Added condition for beta option to remove sort order to ensure it never removes relevance sort order

4.26 Beta (29th September 2022)

• Added default for On Sale Page slug
• Added template override for cases when only query_vars are entered - e.g. minprice, onsale, other meta filters, attribute filters etc. Filter added to 'request' action where I have access to $query_vars and runs before template stuff and query - filter_params_only_for_template_include function

4.25 Beta (29th September 2022)

• Added CSS fix for themes which add list-style to sidebar widgets, now bullets removed correctly
• Fixed ajax sidebar highlight selections - the URL was being updated AFTER the code to highlight the current selections was being executed
• Updated Show Existing Filter default to show category as clearable filter. This also fixes the Clear Filter button so it reverts to /shop/ but some customers have category as the top filter.
• Added new wp-config.php option to control breadcrumb generation. By default we will now not show the parents of hierarchical taxonomies since this messes up multi-select big time on hierarchical taxonomies but if you want to restore that functionality, add define('SSF_SHOW_PARENTS_PER_TERM_IN_BREADCRUMBS', true); to wp-config.php

4.24 Beta (24th September 2022)

• Hot fix for billions - somehow their data is returning some duplicates, no performance penalty for adding a SELECT DISTINCT on the outermost part of the CTE query

4.23 Beta (22nd September 2022)

• Fixed bug with HTML select option for term restriction code - parent terms, child terms etc all properly limited now in the 'Dropdown' option
• Fixed bug with variation stock control table aliases causing errors if there were hyphens in the variation name

4.22 Beta (16th September 2022)

• Updated priority of query filter so that beta option to show single variations works with SSS search
• Change min gap for range filter to 1 instead of 10

4.21 Beta (14th September 2022)

• Fixed Checkbox and radio styling so it uses flex grid properly with children
• Improved checkbox styling so checkbox is on center line of text
• Fixed radio styling with hierarchies so only parent and child are selected, not all children of active parent
• Added CSS to hide list-style-type - need to double check with customer if this has completely fixed their issue on their theme

4.20 Beta (8th September 2022)

• Fixed issue with new installations causing warning/error until settings saved.

4.19 Beta (1st September 2022)

• Fixed Beta test for SSF_BETA - the defines.php was being included AFTER the check for SSF_BETA

4.18 Beta (31st August 2022)

• Added per-taxonomy and per-url param canonical and indexing control
• Refactored and improved existing indexing control
• Added ability to choose max terms per taxonomy for indexing and canonical, max of 0 switches indexing/canonical off for that taxonomy.
• Added new definition SSF_BETA - if you define('SSF_BETA', true); in your wp-config.php file you will receive notifications for beta updates, otherwise you will now only receive stable/core updates

4.17 Beta (1st August 2022)

• Fixed bug with initial config for SSF_SHOW_SINGLE_VARIATIONS
• Fixed warning coming from $custom_postmeta not being declared in some paths
• Fixed warning coming from missing meta_key in newly defined postmeta range filters

4.16 Beta (29th July 2022)

• Added new define('SSF_SHOW_SINGLE_VARIATIONS', array('pa_color')); - set up your array in wp-config.php to show these attributes as single variations, typically colour

4.15 Beta (20th July 2022)

• Added all post types to fww_object_ancestors to support Polylang and future all post types functionality
• Added extra code to tax widget to filter tax filters by current polylang language
• Added new polylang code to handle breadcrumbs (URLs and translations) properly

4.14 Beta (7th July 2022)

• Fixed attributes with enable archives so that they obey the SEO rules for max total attributes and max values per attribute
• Added beginnings of experimental option for showing single variations as an option - e.g. users will be able to choose if a specific attribute is filtered on that the individual variations for THAT attribute should be shown (typically colour)

4.13 Beta (29th June 2022)

• Fixed warning about missing option 'stockcheck_variations' - now checks properly for existence before trying to access
• Fixed Existing filters admin form - clear text and clear search text fields now properly display after save - they were saving, and displaying properly on front end, but the widget form was not showing the changes
• Fixed issue with thumbnail removal on edit terms page - it was removing before if you hit save, but this was not being shown visually
• Added tie-breaker to orderby clauses - tie breaker of ordering by ID eliminates possibility of subsequent loads of same pages showing different results. This can also present as if there are duplicates on page 2 etc if the order changed.

4.12 Beta (15th June 2022)

• Fixed inline filters bug on Elementor builder and probably other visual builders when previewing since there is no global $product

4.11 Beta (14th June 2022)

• Fixed Link class hasUsableFilters to treat stock check properly - only returns true if user has applied a filter to change the default for stock check. This fixes some cases when SSF was adjusting breadcrumbs/titles when it shouldn't.
• Fixed active filters so sorting does not display the active filters.
• Fixed range filter bug that wasn't allowing the slider to extend past 100
• Fixed range filter bug for step - was not being applied in JavaScript

4.10 Beta (8th June 2022)

• Fixed Popout button so it doesn't move items below it, i.e. it now popsout OVER the content, doesn't push content down
• Added hover effect to lists to alter background colour slightly (not checkboxes or radios or labels)
• Updated on sale filter to include new advanced options including popover group titles etc
• Fixed button above archive to show labels left to right in float
• Removed reference to taxorder for building query for tax filters - it now just uses getFilters()
• Removed use of WHERE EXISTS for tax queries, now using INNER JOIN - found if > 5 WHERE EXISTS, it causes massive statistics jobs to run on certain MySQL configs!
• Added new shortcode [ssf_inline_filters] which admins can put onto any page where a global $product variable exists, e.g. product detail page, and it will display the inline filters there too rather than just on the archive pages
• Fixed postmeta range html dropdown - JS was missing to spot the range dropdown being changed. Added to spot this and change URL to the value of the dropdown.
• Added new option for 'Above products' widget area - you can now choose to hide the filters in this widget area behind a button only on small screens < 720px

4.09 Beta (7th June 2022)

• Fixed Attribute image selector to allow users to choose images for an attribute - was broken by my speed boost from 4.07. The speed boost has now been correctly applied into Scalability Pro to cache the media query.
• Fixed highlighting of selected items in filters - was broken in 4.07. This also fixes moving these items to the top if you choose that option in the filter.
• Fixed hiding Custom Range boxes (e.g. hide custom price boxes) - was a CSS issue

4.08 Beta (5th June 2022)

• Extra update for import fix - eliminated another call to the rebuild ancestors table

4.07 Beta (5th June 2022)

• Speed boost for wp-admin - found unused code to enqueue_media files which on sites with many media files was slowing down admin
• Speed boost for imports - no more need to run table rebuild after wp all import run, tables are maintained, if users switch off do_action calls in wp all import, there is a function you should call to rebuild our tables after the import has been completed: fww_recalc_terms_after_wpallimport();

4.06 Beta (2nd June 2022)

• Bug fix for flat taxonomy URL rewrites pagination

4.05 Beta (1st June 2022)

• Meta filters now work properly at /shop/ level, but my advice is to HIDE meta filters (advanced widget options) until at least a category has been selected for performance reasons. I will improve meta-filtering speed further in future.
• Added missing translation texts to Existing Filters for 'in stock' text and 'on sale' text
• Reworked URL rewrites - now it distinguishes between hierarchical taxonomies and flat taxonomies. If hierarchical, no need for extra rewrite rule since an open-ended rewrite already exists. (if you set to use our template, you can still override this).
• Fixed bug with multiselect expand and the new wp-config optimisation when SSF_OPTIMISE_TAX_QUERIES set true
• Fixed issue with price range or other meta ranges involving decimals, it now correctly takes into account the decimal. Previously if you set maxprice 10, it would include items priced at 10.90 etc, now it must be 10.00 or less.
• Added filter dependency to all postmeta filters - e.g. don't show price filter until product_cat is selected
• Disabled broken SSF_ISSUE_404_FOR_MISSING_URL_TERMS option - if you set this true in wp-config.php it will currently have no effect until a future fix
• Fixed issue with narrow multiselect product counts - now product counts correctly reflect how many items will be shown if you narrow on this filter further

4.04 Beta (30th May 2022)

• Performance boost for URL Rewrites - makes a big difference on sites with numerous taxonomies and now correctly works by default with two taxonomies in place

4.03 Beta (30th May 2022)

• Fixed error occurring if no taxonomies exist - not sure how this can occur, but added code to prevent an error
• Fixed some other warnings that happen when settings not yet initialised

4.02 Beta (30th May 2022)

• Fixed fatal error occurring with new users when no options were created yet

4.01 Beta (28th May 2022)

• Added meta param name config to settings page - once you save a meta filter, new parameters will be listed in settings where you can configure them
• Re-added ability to rename URL parameters for attributes/taxonomy URL parameters (not for slugs, those can be renamed in normal permalink way)
• Made existing price filters extend new range filter class - old price filter configs will be carried over, now with new options available from new range filter
• Added new define SSF_LOAD_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY_CSS - if you set this in wp-config.php to true, we will load the old Faster Woo Widgets CSS in addition to the new SSF CSS
• Added new define SSF_MAKE_INLINE_FILTERS_DO_FOLLOW - if you set this true in wp-config, inline filters will all be DO FOLLOW links
• Changed all CSS/JS to have proper version number attached rather than fetching fresh JS/CSS every page

4.00 Beta (25th May 2022)

• Added new define SSF_ISSUE_404_FOR_MISSING_URL_TERMS to check URL terms (not parameters) for existence, and if any don't exist, issue 404

3.99 Beta (25th May 2022)

• Fixed image inline filters so that if an image does not yet exist, it will use the term name instead

3.98 Beta (25th May 2022)

• Fixed broken dropdown option - not many people use this, but still some may - the HTML for it had been broken. Most people are using containers to create better looking options, but this HTML select/option dropdown is now fixed
• Added bolding through class in JS to selected dropdowns - adding the class through JS allows the filter to be re-used in its entirety on certain pages
• Fixed bug with Object Cache and caching 'remove filter' link - this is now handled completely through JavaScript. Previously, if the first page visited was /shop/ then afterards visiting /product-category/dogs/ and then clicking dogs in the filter would have kept user on the dogs page. It now correctly removes the dogs term while still being cacheable.

3.97 Beta (25th May 2022)

• Added new define to remove default sort order from main query (only if no URL sort parameter exists)
• Added new define to remove catalog visibility check from tax/attribute filters
• Added extra optimisation under SSF_OPTIMISE_TAX_QUERIES definition to handle stock check for main query
• Optimised tax filter stock check (simple stock check) to use the bitflag on object_ancestors
• Added bold font-weight to 'chosen' items in lists

3.96 Beta (21st May 2022)

• Altered Query filtering priorities to be compatible with latest Super Speedy Search

3.95 Beta (21st May 2022)

• Added SSF_OPTIMISE_TAX_QUERIES option to replace slow term_relationship filters with joins to our object_ancestors table

3.94 Beta (18th May 2022)

• Refactored custom postmeta filter to have another class underneath and then have a display options area - toggle, range, list - all other parts are the same
• Fixed bug with range text box where clicking the label prevented clicking to type
• Altered CSS and JS for underlying range filter to not need PHP, it generates the noUiSliders using pure enqueued jQuery now
• Added 3 style options to range filter
• Added minmax, min, max, exact match options for postmeta filters
• Fixed some CSS issues with range filter
• Connected range slider to new custom range boxes in both directions

3.93 Beta (17th May 2022)

• Added custom postmeta URL parameters to Link class
• Added new SSS_PostMeta_Widget class - currently a generic postmeta toggle class
• Added postmeta restriction to tax filter so filters are now restricted by meta values

3.92 Beta (9th May 2022)

• Minor CSS alteration for inline image filters

3.91 Beta (9th May 2022)

• Added woocommerce_product_thumbnails inline position for inline filters
• Added Image Large display option + related early CSS

3.90 Beta (9th May 2022)

• Fixed bug with 'disable until other selected' - option was saving, but was not showing saved value in admin widget
• BETA UPDATE: Added thumbnail selection option to all taxonomies so users can configure images for use in inline filters and widget filters
• BETA UPDATE: Added 4 image display options to super speedy filters widget - still in beta, displays similarly to colour labels
• BETA UPDATE: Added new display option to Inline Filters - text/image - to allow user to display images below/on top of product images (still beta)

3.89 Beta (6th May 2022)

• Fixed widget GROUP menu-icon selector CSS so it pops out above the widget correctly
• Added Group Title field to admin - group title now used for buttons containing groups of filters rather than first filter title being used
• Changed Group Icon to Button Icon and made this button icon available for popouts and popovers as well as groups (i.e. all buttons can have an icon now on the filter container button)
• Fixed icon picker so it can be used after widget saved - previously required page refresh
• Improved my selective-show JS logic on widgets admin to be able to handle more granularity
• Fixed container button counts so they show total counts of items in the underlying group

3.88 Beta (5th May 2022)

• Fixed multiselect bug causing items to not show up as selected in visual interface - e.g. checkbox and circle count of selected items
• Fixed multiselect 'deselect' inside the filter - only the first selected filter was getting the correct deselect URL
• Fixed URL parameter bug where URL parameter was not filtering results in certain cases

3.87 Beta (4th May 2022)

• Fixed bug causing taxonomy descriptions not to appear - it's meant to hide them if the taxonomy + another filter is selected, it was hiding them all the time
• Fixed bug with accordion display re: cookies - if you activated the accordion mode, then deactivated it, any filters you'd viewed would stay hidden except for the last open one!
• Fixed bug in Widget Editor related to conditional display of some options which was causing WordPress to warn that the widget had not been saved when it had

3.86 Beta (4th May 2022)

• Fixed bug causing 'ignore other filters' to actually respect other filters

3.85 Beta (3rd May 2022)

• Added minor optimisation for URL rewrites to avoid additional rewrite rule when a more generic rule already captures the data and provides the correct template

3.84 Beta (30th April 2022)

• Fixed permalink/template override - now it will always override /product-category/dogs/color/green/ but if you enable the option it will also override the template for /product-category/dogs/ which can be useful
• Fixed pagination bug with double custom taxonomies in URL in some cases

3.83 Beta (30th April 2022)

• Added new defines.php file - will let me make solutions for people quickly, and assign the job of making the admin interface for it to another developer later
• Added new defition SSF_RESET_INLINE_FILTERS - default false - which changes the inline filters to reset the other currently selected filters and just show all of that term. e.g. if you are on /t-shirts/green/ and you select adidas in inline filters you will see all adidas stuff if you select true

3.82 Beta (28th April 2022)

• More context-sensitive help along with links to full guides on our site
• Removed some error-logging

3.81 Beta (28th April 2022)

• Some extra text links added

3.80 Beta (28th April 2022)

• Added job to rebuild fww_ancestors which is used in the taxonomy search functionality
• Bumped the db_version number to force a scheduled background job to run to rebuild the tables which will then be auto-maintained

3.79 Beta (27th April 2022)

• Added WP Intense license key option to multisite
• Fixed preview in customiser and broken ajax widgets since I removed the preview of widgets
• Fixed Current Hierarchy display option so it correctly expands the currently selected term
• Fixed accordion styles for rotating arrow
• Added object ancestors maintenance code to keep object ancestors up to date

3.78 Beta (27th April 2022)

• Hotfix for termids

3.77 Beta (27th April 2022)

• Added "Include Terms" option in widgets - let's you specify to only include specific term ids in results
• Removed collapsible setting from Widgets, moved them into container options to avoid confusion
• Re-arranged widget settings to make them easier to navigate
• Added more ? help tips to widget settings
• Added JS controls to wp-admin widgets to conditionally hide settings depending on whether they needed to be displayed based on other settings
• Added 'Advanced Settings' area to wp-admin widgets to hide lesser used settings

3.76 Beta (27th April 2022)

• Altered URL structure override templates to also override permalinks for top-level taxonomy items, if override is enabled - this allows users to override /marka/xyz/ to stop using whatever template it uses and use the shop template
• Fixed URL bug in pagination of taxonomy combos

3.75 Beta (22nd April 2022)

• Another fix for multiselect - multiselect was not working if the multiselect taxonomy was the only one in the URL - https://bitbucket.org/wpintense/super-speedy-filters/issues/11/multiselect-not-working-on-taxonomies

3.74 Beta (22nd April 2022)

• Added more context-related help docs
• Fixed multiselect - I'd broken it yesterday

3.73 Beta (22nd April 2022)

• Added custom static preview option to gutenberg preview - the preview bypasses all forms of object caching, so this was hurting large customers.
• Added tooltip help system to widgets - not all docs complete yet, but getting there!
• Added new option in Settings > Super Speedy Filters > Main to hide Above Products widget area behind a Filters button
• Cleaned up front-end CSS a little bit for the top widget bar to reduce vertical spacing between widgets

3.72 Beta (21th April 2022)

• Fixed onsale widget translation bug - it was not running through the WP translation system
• Fixed warning in class-link if URL parameters were not present
• Fixed archive bug with classic woocommerce layered cat widget on some themes that was breaking the archive - set product_cat to slug not termid in request

3.71 Beta (21th April 2022)

• Removed FWW Custom Tax, FWW Product Attributes, FWW Product Categories filters for new users - existing users who upgrade to SSF from FWW will still see these filters, but new users will not (everything is in the generic Super Speedy Filter)
• Renamed other still-in-use filters to Super Speedy - stock, on-sale, existing filters, viewed products

3.70 Beta (20th April 2022)

• Added Exclude Term IDs functionality to main widget

3.69 Beta (20th April 2022)

• Removed URL parameters from breadcrumbs
• Fixed selected filters so that clicking them again will toggle them off

3.68 Beta (20th April 2022)

• Added template fallback for cases where /shop/ page (defined in WooCommerce) somehow did not have an archive-product.php template!

3.67 Beta (19th April 2022)

• Fixed bug in archive results for cases where variations & simple products exist and where the variations are used for stock control and those attributes also exist in the simple products - the simple products were not appearing in this case. e.g. if you had a red simple product, but you had colour configured as stock control for other variable products then the red simple product was not appearing.
• Fixed bug in archives where in some cases URL parameters would be ignored! It depended on whether you had enabled archives for the attribute in the past and then reverted.
• Fixed bug in widget where simple products were not being counted if variable stock check was enabled and a variation attribute was selected

3.66 Beta (18th April 2022)

• Added extra element to object cache key for difference in filter with narrow vs expand
• Fixed issue with 'exclude from catalog' items appearing in archive and being counted in widgets
• Fixed migration of code for product variations stock check.

3.65 Beta (7th April 2022)

• Fixed object cache bug for multiselect taxonomies - with object cache + multiselect taxonomies, with one tax selected the 2nd one was not selectable
• Fixed bug causing tax description not to appear if default check stock was enabled
• Removed URL parameters from breadcrumbs
• Stopped items with // slug appearing in Settings > URL Structure (they have been changed to URL parameters)
• Fixed tax name display in widgets to show tax->label (taxonomy) e.g. Product Categories (product_cat)
• Fixed price filter ajax in fww_sidebar - more work to be done here, but it will be applied to the generic 'range filter'
• Fixed CSS checkboxes for selected hierarchical taxonomies

3.64 Beta (6th April 2022)

• CSS update to fix checkboxes for multiselect

3.63 Beta (5th April 2022)

• Hotfix for URL parameters to point to /shop/?filter when they exist on their own without any other filters

3.62 Beta (5th April 2022)

• Fully removed 'slug' based attributes - users can now create them as slugs by enabling archives for the parameters
• Removed all references to permalinkbase - no longer used
• Fixed Ajax refine search so that pagination respects current page - i.e. it grabs page 2 based on the Filters from the current URL
• Fixed Ajax refine search so that you can do two searches at once - e.g. user searches 'Cedar' to get list of 100 items in sidebar widget, then refines this list with the ajax search to search through the names
• Improved Permalink rules to avoid even touching at all any taxonomy templates when only one taxonomy is chosen - now the permalinks for our template only kick in when two or more taxonomies are selected (e.g. /product-category/clothes/brand/asos/color/blue/)
• Added missing translation domain for 'Clear search text'
• Fixed upgrading from old FWW attribute - new SSF taxonomy will now automatically pick the correct attribute/taxonomy name

3.61 Beta (31st March 2022)

• CSS fixed for categories
• ajax scroll and search made way better

3.60 Alpha (30th March 2022)

• Added ajax scroll and ajax search option to widgets

3.59 Alpha (30th March 2022)

• Renamed plugin to Super Speedy Filters with forked repo
• Moved all CSS, JS, fonts and images to assets folder

3.58 Alpha (29th March 2022)

• Merged Display Options from Attribute into Custom Taxonomy Class
• Fixed bug in widget where //brand// was showing instead of /brand/
• Removed default CSS classes to avoid double checkboxes etc - users can always add them back in, this way seems more reliable
• Created Super Speedy Filter class to cover taxonomies and attributes - copied over display options and colour selection. Some attribute details will move to Settings > URL Structure e.g. multiselect and URL parameter names
• Added Enabled option to filters with options: Enabled, Disabled, Admins Only - useful for onboarding until they get the filters looking how they want if they do not have a dev environment
• Fixed bug with multiselect if admins had set "archives enabled" for a product attribute with duplicate tax1 table name
• Changed Attribute widget to inherit Custom Taxonomy Class so we have a single code path for the SQL and Display of categories, custom taxonomies and any attributes
• Added PostMeta filter type and altered Products On Sale and In Stock widgets to inherit the PostMeta filter type.
• Fixed bug with default ordering by price which was causing unpriced items to not return https://www.wpintense.com/question/fww-does-not-display-products-in-category-pages/

3.57 Beta (15th March 2022)

• Fixed CSS bug which was causing taxonomy children to appear to the right hand side on some themes and end up invisible
• Fixed bug with 'Current Hierarchy' which was causing pwb-brands to disappear if set to hierarchical and a brand was selected
• Fixed bug with new WooCommerce Attribute Lookup table where they add 1=0 to the WHERE clause if the attribute is not in the $_GET param (i.e. if users used pretty permalinks for attributes or attribute archives then these were broken and would return 0 products on the new WooCommerce)

3.56 Beta (9th March 2022)

• Updated plugin updater to update directly from bitbucket, not from wpintense

3.55 Beta (4th March 2022)

• Fixed attribute widget so it works properly on search results pages
• Improved styles slightly for colour widgets

3.54 Beta (4th March 2022)

• Fixed onsale flag queries for variable products so that parents of variable products which are onsale now also correctly get set to onsale (child variations also marked as onsale where applicable)
• Removed old debug messages

3.53 Beta (3rd March 2022)

• Hardened query alterations to check and abort if $wp_query is null - somehow gravity forms causes this

3.52 Beta (24rd February 2022)

• Further updates to improve variation stock checking for attributes and taxonomies. There are two scenarios - where a tax or attribute is restricted by another attribute which has variations stock, and then when an attribute itself is configured for variations stock checks.

3.51 Beta (22nd February 2022)

• Fixed multiple issues in archive main results and widgets surrounding variation stock checking

3.50 Beta (18th February 2022)

• Fixed an issue with the Link Class to avoid processing URL values twice

3.49 Beta (18th February 2022)

• Fixed variation counts for attributes
• Fixed sorting of attributes
• Fixed existing filters to respect default check stock option (i.e. don't show in stock filter when it's on by default)
• Fixed Link Class to handle archive-enabled attributes properly - treats them as taxonomies, but now works - paves the way for multi-select taxonomies
• Fixed tax/cat widget to not show if no categories/terms are present

3.48 Beta (16th February 2022)

• Fix for 3.47

3.47 Beta (16th February 2022)

• Added code to avoid the variation stock filter in attributes from filtering itself - e.g. if you select a size, other available sizes should still be selectable

3.46 Beta (11th February 2022)

• Made rebuild tables button in Advanced tab act immediately rather than waiting for cron
• Added extra ability to Link class to detect search string from an ajax call, i.e. the URL does not contain the search string but $wp_query does

3.45 Beta (11th February 2022)

• Fixed display for current hierarchy to use lables properly
• Fixed current hierarchy so it properly updates to show children of current hierachy - was only working at top level
• Fixed integration with super speedy search for attribute filters
• Fixed warnings from missing indexes

3.44 Alpha (1st February 2022)

• Fixed critical bug in variation stock checking - it thought an attribute was being used for stock control when in fact it wasn't. This caused all pages with that filter in the URL to return 0 products. Now there is a selection option under the stock check option on the settings page to choose which attributes are relevant for varations stock levels.

3.43 Alpha (27th January 2022)

• Fixed some multisite table building compatibility issues
• Improved resilience of table building in general and speed

3.42 Beta (26th January 2022)

• Improved ajax handling especially for populating the sidebar on a static page with contents of the sidebar from the ajaxed page - e.g. if you use the fww_sidebar shortcode in an elementor page, ajax all works properly now
• Changed fww_sidebar widget wrappers to div instead of li
• Removed a bunch of debug code
• Altered the termlist in the Settings > FWW page to only grab the first 25 matching terms and add ... afterwards if there are 25 - this is to speed up the settings page, users don't need to know every term name - they're just for context.

3.41 Beta (19th January 2022)

• Added &post_type=product&wc_query=product_query to query params from URL rewrite - this fixes issues with some plugins/themes not picking up on the correct template, e.g. WC Lovers ignored the shop template and used something else

3.40 Beta (19th January 2022)

• Added tabs to settings page to tidy up and simplify settings management
• Added template control per taxonomy - you can now choose whether our shop template hierarchy should be used, or if we should just inherit the template set by other plugins/theme on your site - e.g. you may have a BRAND template for brands, this lets you override or retain that template on a per-taxonomy basis
• Copied background SQL scheduler from Super Speedy Search to ensure table rebuilds are resilient
• Fixed bug in checking options which should mean that when saving FWW options, you no longer need to flush permalinks in order to see the new URL structure working

3.39 Alpha (18th January 2022)

• Hardened URL overwriter so that if a second taxonomy has the same base URL (commonly store=brand and brand=brand) then only the first URL rule will apply - this follows the order of taxonomy importance from the settings page - it fixes broken templates on some stores where they have duplicate taxonomy base URLs declared (e.g. /brand/ declared by two different taxonomies)

3.38 Alpha (15th January 2022)

• Fixed template detection for top level custom taxonomies

3.37 Beta (4th January 2022)

• Fixed warning emitted on search results pages and home page from linkchecker
• Fixed bug causing multiple jobs to be spawned to rebuild fww_object_ancestors table

3.36 Beta (15th December 2021)

• Hardened plugin update checker so it doesn't crash in php 8 if WPI site not available

3.35 Beta (15th December 2021)

• Improved top-level speed of stock checking
• Fixed variation stock checking bug that could occur in some cases with multiple attributes
• Tested stock check works for simple products which have attributes (e.g. attribute Large) so that if user visits /shop/large/ then both simple and variable products are returned that are in stock - with simple products it checks stock at top product level and that Large attribute exists, with variable products it checks variation stock for Large exists
• Fixed bug in URL Link caching which was not caching instock/onsale properly
• Fixed bug in selecting correct default stock check value in stock check widget

3.34 Alpha (15th December 2021)

• Loading settings page will now fully populate the available taxonomies regardless of which taxonomy filters are enabled. This allows admins to have taxonomy URLs without requiring filters. e.g. /brand/adidas/ will work even if there is no brand filter present on the page. Affected users will need to visit settings and hit save.
• Fixed error in Appearance > Widgets when previewing taxonomy filters
• Many fixes for stock control
  • stock check filter doesn't add ?stock-status=show-all if default is to show all
  • product variation stock control is checked - this affects which products appear in the archive, which tax terms get listed in the sidebar and which attributes appear in the sidebar
  • alpha because bugs exist when multiple attributes URLs are visited and it doesn't correctly check stock for multiple attributes yet

3.33 Beta (14th December 2021)

• Made archive variation stock check generic - works for all attributes now, not just color and size, and also now works if you have a mix of simple products and variations
  • still to make this variation stock check work in inline filters display
  • still to make this variation stock check affect the sidebar filters

3.32 Beta (10th December 2021)

• Added new sidebar identifier for ajax for Crazystore theme - should cover most themes now
• Fixed bug with object_ancestors rebuild job to avoid rescheduling multiple jobs - will only ever schedule one job now
• Increased delay in building object ancestors to 10 minutes instead of 5 minutes when running imports

3.31 Beta (9th December 2021)

• Fixed bug in job scheduler which could prevent the assistant table rebuild from ever happening
• Changed defaults for attributes to URL Param instead of Slug to have better onboarding experience
• Added new sidebar identifier for Woodmart theme

3.30 Beta (15th November 2021)

• Improved CSS resilience in the face of aggressive themes (Flatsome)
• Fixed occurrence of empty filter appearing sometimes
• Added check to ensure only checking main archive queries
• Added variation stock check - this is complicated - WooCommerce doesn't store info anywhere about which attributes are used as variations, instead they store the slug combos of the variations in the product name. This now checks properly, e.g. if you select size 0-6 months, if 0-6 months of a product is out of stock it will not show in the archive.
• Fixed warning on initial install in Link class
• Made more resilient against random (non-filtering) URL parameters which sometimes resulted in empty archive

3.29 Beta (3rd November 2021)

• Had been assuming term_id and term_taxonomy_id are the same - they normally are! But I found a client where this was not true for historical reasons, so now the objectancestors table gets built including a join to term_taxonomy to find the term_id - this slows down the rebuild of fww_object_ancestors a little

3.28 Beta (2nd November 2021)

• Minor performance improvement to avoid unneccessary work in taxonomy filter when taxonomy is not hierarchical
• Minor scalability improvement to reduce RAM consumed by taxonomy filter by passing the $cats by reference
• Minor performance improvement to reduce size of $cats array as the filter is drawn - helps improve hierarchical cats slightly

3.27 Beta (1st November 2021)

• Improved object cache usage - complete object cache for widgets + object cache usage for get_term related functions with cache key on $termid, $taxonomy, $languagecode

3.26 Beta (28th October 2021)

• Fixed permalink rewrite update after saving settings
• Fixed bug with /page/2 on UTF8 URLs (e.g. Greek) - the paginated links were being capitalised and this was causing the link class to not match the category - fixed to be case insensitive
• Fixed URL slug output on settings page for UTF8 (non latin characters)

3.25 Beta (26th October 2021)

• Hotfix for one code path in the attributes widget which was causing a DB error and failing

3.24 Beta (26th October 2021)

• Hotfix to fix {$wpdb->prefix} for non-default table prefixes

3.23 Beta (26th October 2021)

• Improved performance of attributes to make them use the objectancestors table - specifically, when attributes are restricting themselves by other taxonomies (category, brand etc) then they are now far faster
• Improved performance of main query - normally the domain of Scalability Pro and this may move over to scalability pro - an 'include children' query on a taxonomy will perform an IN statement. I modified it to use objectancestors so it can use an = statement.
• Fixed bug with deep categories not having top category marked as 'selected' in the HTML - this means deep categories now appear opened when using hierarchy and the top level category will have whatever styles applied (e.g. checkmark, bold etc)
• Improved Link Class constructor to use proper get_term_by function and avoid superflous SQL calls
• Refactored custom tax SQL to use single query rather than nested queries. Significantly boosts speeds in many cases.
• Significantly improved performance of custom taxonomy/category widget - now uses a single SQL call to grab the full hierarchy. Reduces 'harry potter' search widget construction from 3s on foundthru to 0.3s.
• Fixed term ordering so it properly and efficiently respects the term ordering - also removed the term ordering option from settings since it's now fast regardless
• Fixed bug where if onsale was selected, the category in widgets was not being selected and expanded
• Hardened parent term restrictions - now uses new walker function and restricts from there rather than in SQL. Nice and efficient.
• Removed a bunch of error logging
• Added on-the-fly update of the onsale meta flag - no need to recalculate this manually now
• Added recalculation of object_ancestors table after terms edited/added/deleted and posts edited

3.22 Beta (14th October 2021)

• Improved performance of link class
• Improved resilience of link class when you have identical slugs in different taxonomies - if you DO, you should keep the taxonomy prefix on the URL (e.g. keep /product-category/dogs/ rather than just /dogs/)
• Added compatibility for latest dev-version of Super Speedy Search updates (dev update for SSS not yet in beta, but this is back and forward compatible)
• Made WCLovers filter_vendor parameter sticky - once set, the filters will always use it unless it's cleared by the WCMultivendor (WCLovers) Store filter

3.21 Beta (28th September 2021)

• Hotfix to fix wp_fww_object_ancestors - for restricting other terms, I'd used wp_ when I should have used $wpdb->prefix - affects anyone with altered table prefixes

3.20 Beta (28th September 2021)

• Removed scroll bar from category children to avoid there being multiple scrollbars in a nested taxonomy with many children
• Fixed ajax back button - correctly reloads the previous page properly now.

3.19 Beta (22nd September 2021)

• Fixed minor JS bug for tax accordions - added stopPropagation
• Moved doc.ready JS into its own function and added a call to this function on ajax complete (fww-specific ajax complete)
• Fixed recently viewed products so it correctly removes items when more than 3 have been viewed
• Removed 'number of recently viewed products' config - it shouldn't have been in the widget since we need access to it on product detail pages and the widget might not be there
• Hard coded the number of recently viewed products to 3 for now - cookies can not store more than 4 products, potentially less depending on additional HTML in the woo template.
• Added new styles for buttons and popovers with updated fonts for icons from @twardy
• Added new fwwicon-arrow_drop_down for popouts
• Fixed search box inside popouts so they don't immediately close the popout!
• Added code to prevent popout closing if user clicks reset search button

3.18 Beta (16th September 2021)

• Hotfix to re-add scroll-to and move-selected options for taxonomy
• Hotfix to re-add multivendor/author code

3.17 Beta (16th September 2021)

• Added pure CSS spinner to ajax for when products are fetched
• Improved the popover by using a11ydialog
• Added shadow, fadein and animation-down for popouts - looks better
• Added popover group - will use the first button of the group and hide all others and place the contents inside the popover
• Added popout groups - similar to popovers, uses the first button and hides the others. Does not yet include an icon picker - the icon is used to distinguish different groups - also the icon doesn't yet get added to the button
• Fixed a bunch of warning and notices that were happening for undeclared variables

3.16 Beta (15th September 2021)

• Added popout container option to all widgets, version 1.0 - lets you have popouts containing labels, lists, colours etc - saves space on screen and looks good on mobile
• Added popover container option - version 0.1 - not working yet, trying to use googles material design library but I only have a Cancel button so far on the popover and no actual content

3.15 Beta (14th September 2021)

• Added post_author column to ancestors table - requires db upgrade which may be slow on large sites - took 2 minutes on foundthru with 1 million products. New users would not experience this.
• Added post_author to rebuild job
• Added filter_vendor detection to taxonomy and attributes filters to restrict the lists based on author/vendor

3.14 Beta (14th September 2021)

• Added post wp all import action to run product recounts for ancestors table
• Added check against regular ancestors update (after terms edited) to check woocommerce_product_recount_terms filter - users can still force recounts using ajax recount from settings
• Added checks for creating ancestor tables to eliminate warnings
• Added checks against woocommerce_product_recount_terms filter to avoid recounting ancestors when not desired
• Added pmxi_after_xml_import action to recount terms after wp all import complete

3.13 Beta (14th September 2021)

• Added scrollto option to taxonomies and category widgets
• Improved move option to top for taxonomies - expands children and moves items up in children too

3.12 Beta (13th September 2021)

• Improved description and behaviour of parent Term Restriction for tax widget - you can now move child terms to the top level using this functionality if you wish, or you can just list top level terms to appear.
• Fixed bug with level 2+ categories in pure permalink mode (no /product-category/ in URL) - was incorrectly using parent category rather than child.
• Removed controls to restrict child terms of tax widget and attribute widget. Admins should modify their actual shop data instead since attempting to do this here means also the WP_Query needs to be modified, and then it becomes very slow to implement for products which don't use this attribute. e.g. if you restrict your colour filter to only show Black and Blue, then perfoming a query that restricts products to black and blue only when that product has a colour is very complicated and slow. You have to check NOT EXISTS and you have to do an OR. Both these queries are the slowest type of queries in MySQL and cause table scans.

3.11 Beta (9th September 2021)

• Added extra checks to guarantee that rebuild ancestors table will not perform multiple simultaneous rebuilds - found some cases where if rebuild was triggered, it was starting rebuild even if rebuild was already underway

3.10 Beta (8th September 2021)

• Removed remaining ajax loader gif (now using pure CSS spinners)
• Added additional is_shop check for template override - fixes cases of some post categories being overridden when they had slugs matching shop filters
• Added widget option to disable 'move selected items to top' if admins don't like that
• Added widget option to disable showing the 'selected options count' next to the title if admins don't like that
• Added selected options count to in-stock, on-sale, price and existing filters widgets

3.09 Beta (6th September 2021)

• Removed shop from breadcrumbs when shop = home
• Added search string to breadcrumbs
• Added extra checks on breadcrumbs to avoid overriding breadcrumbs when something else is handling it
• Added price step option to price filter and changed front-end price boxes to number instead of text - makes entering prices on mobile easier, and provides extra buttons to increase or decrease the price
• Added clear button to tax/attribute search
• Replaced recently viewed products spinner gif with pure CSS spinner
• Replaced 'remove recently viewed product' icon with our own font icon
• Added search icon to tax/attribute search
• Added "No results found for: " (searchstring) text output to tax/attribute search (alterable with localisation plugins)

3.08 Beta (4th September 2021)

• Refactored breadcrumb control to fix OnSale to appear in breadcrumbs, Shop, and parent cats to appear too - https://trello.com/c/AyiL20ZZ/193-fww-cat-breadcrumb-does-not-have-filter-black-removed
• Fix for new recently viewed products js to change null to empty string when no products viewed yet

3.07 Beta (4th September 2021)

• Replaced SESSION storage for Recently Viewed Products widget with COOKIE storage - faster, more compatible (some servers start sessions too early)

3.06 Beta (4th September 2021)

• Added is_archive() check for template redirect to fix cases when FWW thinks an attribute exists in the URL but it's actually a product name
• Added extra JS path to price filter when Apply is clicked and user has deleted minprice and maxprice so that minprice and maxprice are correctly removed from the URL
• Added extra ajax option in settings > fww - 'Ajax on desktop and on mobile' - while some themes break if you add ajax on mobile (burger handlers) some do not, and those people like ajax on mobile so now you can enable it

3.05 Beta (3rd September 2021)

• Fixed warnings for empty prices in price filter
• Improved wp-admin Appearance > Widgets code for Price & colour filters so you do not need to first save the widget before editing price ranges or colours

3.04 Beta (28th August 2021)

• Added new price box styling for price filter - thanks @twardy!
• Moved selected filters to top of widget using CSS - lists, labels, colours etc
• Added selected filters count after widget titles

3.03 Beta (27th August 2021)

• Improved styling of expanding/collapsing categories in new accordion mode
• Added disabled filter tooltip configuration box
• Improved styling of disabled filters - faded out rather than grey overlay
• Added Clear Search Text config to Existing Filters widget - so you can replace Search: with whatever text you like without having to use locotranslate

3.02 Beta (26th August 2021)

• Removed redundant 2nd translation on Clear Filters in Existing Filters widget
• Added new 'disabled' option for filter dependency - disable this filter until product_cat/pa_color (or whatever you like) selected
• Added new 'Full Hierarchy - Accordion' taxonomy display option - this lets admins show condensed taxonomy list expandable by users

3.01 Beta (25th August 2021)

• Added extra pagination canonical to include No Canonical which means no canonical will be output on page 2+

3.00 Beta (25th August 2021)

• Added extra onsale indexing control to allow users to choose to index no onsale pages, only /onsale/ or to follow the other indexing rules to allow /onsale/dog-toys/black to be indexed etc
• Added max pagination indexing option (default 1) to allow admins to control their crawl budget and prevent bots indexing page 500+ etc
• Added pagination indexing option to allow admins to control if indexed paginated pages should be nofollow,noindex or follow,noindex or follow,index
• Added pagination canonical option to allow admins to control if the canonical should point at the current paginated page or point to page 1
• Altered canonical injection to always inject canonical even if noindex meta tag exists.
• Added additional On Sale products Googlebot indexing control - Options now include: top /onsale/ page only, follow the other rules, categories only, or noindex

2.99 Beta (24th August 2021)

• Fixed broken SEO page titles
• Replaced Font Awesome 5 with custom font from @twardy wpi-sss-icons - far smaller and faster
• Fixed search restrictions on tax and attribute widgets - was broken if user had Super Speedy Search installed, but had not created a fulltext index
• Updated breadcrumbs override to include hierarchy of taxonomies
• Fixed taxonomies so depth 2+ will be shown even if that category not currently selected
• Added nofollow to Woo pagination links
• Improved cron scheduling for ancestors table so it won't reschedule update if already scheduled

2.98 Beta (20th August 2021)

• Added localization around 'Clear Filters' (whatever user has entered actually in widget) in faster-woo-widgets text domain

2.97 Beta (19th August 2021)

• Removed warnings when no filter slug maps are used (e.g. change ?pa_color= to ?color=)
• Fixed warning for new WP filter preview for attributes
• Fixed 'Existing Filters' widget so it doesn't display if category selected and user chose not to display category as removable filter in this widget

2.96 Beta (17th August 2021)

• Finished refactoring of catid
• Improved performance of initial generation of taxonomies when restricted by other taxonomies
• Fixed template issue when multiple taxonomies were selected (sidebar is back on those pages for affected themes!)
• Fixed widget narrowing when searching on pages with more than one taxonomy selected

2.95 ALPHA (17th August 2021)

• Refactored use of 'catid' to 'product_cat' throughout all the code - DO NOT INSTALL THIS ON PRODUCTION as there may be undiscovered bugs

2.94 Beta (15th August 2021)

• Fixed issue with taxonomy filters not being restricted properly by product categories when users use /product-category/ in the category URLs

2.93 Beta (13th August 2021)

• URL rewrite fix for when /product-category/ is retained - fixes issue some had not being able to drill down past category pages (pages with sub cats but not products)

2.92 Beta (13th August 2021)

• Hotfix for new SQL category code to use whatever wp_ table prefix users have

2.91 Beta (13th August 2021)

• Added taxonomy dependency option to taxonomy/category widgets - only show this widget if another widget has a values
• Added new fww_object_ancestors ancestors table which speeds up initial calculation of category/taxonomy widgets before the object cache is used. On FoundThru, 7s widget generation for /shop/ drops to 3.5s. Note: with object cache, further page loads have < 0.1s page generation time from the widgets leaving only the main WP Query call (see Scalability Pro to speed that up!)
• Added parent term restriction option - only show child categories of a specific term
• Added child term restriction option - only show specific child categories (must be direct children of the parent term restriction)
• Increased category max depth to 10 levels, and it's faster than before because of new ancestors table

2.90 Beta (10th August 2021)

• Fixed attributes widget when 'expand results' option was enabled on another attribute so that it properly counts based on 'expand' not 'narrow'

2.89 Beta (4th August 2021)

• Fixed 'Clear Filters' text in Existing Filters widget so it correctly uses the default text if you don't specify anything, along with WPML translation

2.88 Beta (4th August 2021)

• Re-added URL rewrite for taxonomies - I thought I could rely on the taxonomy creation to handle these URLs but not true
• Fixed de-duplication of term values in URL, e.g. /audi/ was being interpreted as both vehicle make and part-maker and no results were coming back.
• Speed boost in URL parameter extraction - no unneccessary checks now, reduced SQL count before items go in object cache
• Changed defaults for attribute ordering section to default to not-canonical, url parameter and no-index
• Uncommented the action on template_redirect to call fww_maybe_redirect_product_categories - this redirects from /product-category/dogs/ to /dogs/ when you remove the base URL.
• Fixed 'empty cache' button on settings page - it was only deleting variants, not wiping the relevant part of the object cache

2.87 Beta (30th July 2021)

• Improved URL rewrites further
• Added additional on/off switches to top of FWW settings
• Fixed breadcrumbs de-dup for taxonomies and attributes

2.86 Beta (30th July 2021)

2.85 Beta (30th July 2021)

• Added activation hook to disable features in options in case user has deactivated plugin due to issues and is reactivating to debug. Added Admin notice to inform about this.

2.84 Beta (30th July 2021)

• Added switches to switch on/off various aspects of the plugin - primarily to help with debugging, but also potentially some customers may not need pretty permalinks so will get slight speed boost
• Removed warning from On Sale widget
• Fixed double encoding in taxonomy search placeholder
• Removed warning from Link class when removing non-existent attributes
• Uncommented out the breadcrumbs code - re-added breadcrumbs for attributes etc

2.83 Beta (28th July 2021)

• Fixed permalink generation issue that caused double values to appear in links e.g. /color/black/black/ - this was happening if the product attributes were defined as both taxonomies and attributes. Now it behaves correctly.

2.82 Beta (27th July 2021)

• Added __ WP Internationalisation code to all widgets - if you alter the widget texts, these items will be added to the text register - e.g. if you change Search placeholder to "Search Here" then you would need to add a translation for "Search Here" for other languages you provide

2.81 Beta (13th July 2021)

• Added mb_convert_encoding to existing filters plugin for the 'clear filters' text to allow polylang/wpml and specifically greek lettering

2.80 Beta (8th July 2021)

• Improved URL Rewrites for custom taxonomies
• Added custom code to handle Martfury badly coded product_brand

2.79 Beta (7th July 2021)

• Core update for permalink rewrites - e.g. removing /product-category/ from url or /brand/ etc - works with all taxonomies

2.78 Beta (7th July 2021)

• Added additional orderby rules to ensure woo doesn't miss them on custom pages like brands, tags, attribute base etc
• Added code to apply filters to override ordering: woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args filters, woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby

2.77 (7th July 2021)

• Core update for template_include - somehow this ended up commented out! This fixes brand archives and potentially other areas where the wrong view was being used.

2.76 BETA (7th July 2021)

• Added filter for MartFury theme to make sure it grabs the correct baseURL for the way it constructs the ?orderby parameter
• Fixed orderby price-desc and other orderbys - not sure why Woo wasn't respecting it, but now I force it to
• Eliminated some unneeded queries from class-link

2.75 (25th June 2021)

• Core update since I'd accidentally performed a core update at 2.38 and this performance issue is in there
• Fixed major performance issue - I'd been trying to avoid checking every query for AND 0 = 1 in the query filter, but these IF statements were themselves causing the filter to be recalled since they too were performing database queries. Different servers have different max callstack depths which is why we'd never seen it. Have changed our test server to have unlimited callstack depth so we will catch this in future if it ever happens again.

2.74 Beta (22nd June 2021)

• Reverted the removal of JSON.parse since it stopped the attributes saving

2.73 Beta (22nd June 2021)

2.69 Beta (27th May 2021)

• Updated names of two FWW widget areas for consistency
• Improved CSS styling of lists in the FWW Above WooCommerce Products widget area
• Added missing HTML div container to Existing Filters widget so it can be styled identically to other widgets

2.68 Beta (May 2021)

• Added new 'remove' X button to recently viewed products - allows users to discard products they are no longer interested in
• Fixed @session_start to suppress the warnings

2.67 Beta (May 2021)

• Removed code that was scrolling window to top when user clicked ajax link - this was confusing for users
• Fixed disappearing sidebar issue - now it just uses .sidebar class to replace the sidebar - may need to add extra config in future for some random themes that don't use this class
• Fixed bug causing blog archive titles to be overridden when fww should only override shop archive, shop tags, shop taxonomies etc
• Fixed Recently Viewed Products widget - was not showing anything, session_start had not been called so it always thought the session was empty and no products had been viewed

2.66 Beta (May 2021)

• Fixed template selection to grab archive-product.php when shop as home page and only attribute URL param selected (e.g. yourdomain.com/?color=blue) so it now uses the archive-product.php template properly and sets the correct CSS classes

2.65 Beta (May 2021)

• Fixed initial config of taxonomies so URLs will work properly as soon as plugin installed (no need to add tax widget then hit save in settings anymore!)
• Improved detection of when to rewrite rules - also added temporary debug to discover if rewrites are being flushed often
• Fixed permalink detection when only an attribute is selected and that attribute uses a URL parameter rather than a pretty permalink - e.g. /filters/?color=blue - these now work as expected

2.64 Beta (May 2021)

• Updated examples on settings page to be less confusing
• Fixed price range bug - if min/max price range was already set, then a user clicked $500+ then the maxprice was remaining in the URL when it shouldn't have
• Added active-price class to price ranges that are currently active in the price filter widget
• Added rel="nofollow" to text links for price ranges
• Changed CSS to use fwwfilter class to simplify the CSS
• Updated Yoast override to work for rankmath etc, and if user hasn't selected it, no meta titles or descriptions will be overridden

2.63 Beta (May 2021)

• Fixed ajax so it reloads the sidebar if user clicks something in top bar (new fww top bar, eg existing products or top level categories)
• Added extra checks to ajax for h1 titles and pagination for extra theme compatibility (specifically BeTheme, but many themes will be improved)
• Fixed ajax so it adds .pager_wrapper type pagination - not sure why themes would alter from default CSS classes, but here we are, we have to add crap like this for loads of shitty themes (BeTheme, looking at you)
• Fixed ?minprice=0&maxprice=100 if no other filters exist (wasn't loading anything at all!), but performing this kind of query at the top level of a shop is very expensive :(

2.62 Beta (May 2021)

• Added extra display options for Price Filter - radio and label options in addition to the text links option

2.61 Beta (May 2021)

• Added extra display options for Existing Filters

2.60 Beta (May 2021)

• Fixed new styles of onsale and instock widgets to be ajax compatible
• Fixed custom taxonomy widget to be ajax compatible

• Added new Accordion display style for collapsible widgets - they default to closed and when you open one, any other open accordions will close
• Reverted default price style slider to default from nouislider
• Added pips, top/bottom price and price tooltips to slider
• Added auto-submit to price slider when no text boxes are visible

2.59 Beta (May 2021)

• Fixed bug with expand/close button on attributes - was not opening/closing unless you clicked the title, now you can also click the little arrow
• Fixed scroll bar for long attribute lists, reduced to 200px added scrollbar
• Removed uppercase CSS styling for widget headers
• Added memory for the collapsible filters, works with ajax too, remembers the users choice to overrule default hidden/closed
• Added new CSS class config box to attribute, tax, cat filters - defaults to official woo classes, can be removed or changed to avoid theme styling

2.58 Beta (May 2021)

• Added new colour styles to product attribute widget when choosing colour type
• Added new styles (toggles, checkbox) for in stock widget
• Added inline search box placeholder config

2.53 Beta (April 2021)

• Fixed SEO title separator - it was saving, but it wasn't actually being used in the titles! This is the part that goes on your BROWSER PAGE title and will append your site name after the separator.
• Fixed Meta description for top level categories - previously, if you had an empty category meta description then no meta description was being displayed. Now it will correctly failover to using the settings from FWW Settings page if no specific category meta description has been created.
• Fixed bug with multiple taxonomies enabled which was causing attribute filters not to display when two different taxonomies (e.g. category & brand) were selected

2.52 Beta (April 2021)

• Updated to integrate better with new perf features of latest Super Speedy Search plugin

2.51 Beta (April 2021)

• Improved theme compatibility with Woo Titles - specifically, now these affected themes won't display the Woo shop title twice on the page
• Improved SEO page title override, refactored the code to simplify execution paths, now titles are definitely consistent - noticed some cases if category wasn't set the titles weren't being overruled
• Updated text guidance on settings pages

2.50 Beta (April 2021)

• Removed warning about undefined index: includepriceboxes
• Fixed pagination bug on product category pages if you hadn't removed /product-category/ from the permalink
• Improved CSS for inline product attributes
• Improved flush permalinks to always flush when FWW settings saved. Some cases were being missed causing confusion when URLs returned 404 error when they should have returned a shop page.
• • some installs may still require manually flushing rewrites by visiting Settings->Permalinks then hitting save.
• Added new filter for wp_robots (added in WP 5.7) so that indexing control works properly and meta tags for the robot react properly

2.49 Beta (April 2021)

• Widget guide and option name altered for newly named 'Adaptive Filters' (previously called keep/remove existing filters)

2.48 Beta (April 2021)

• CSS strengthening to ensure our label & product count styling isn't ruined by theme styling
• Fixed category 'label' display type so they work properly with the 'full hierarchy' option and displays children as labels too, including the parent being coloured in when children are hovered over

2.47 Beta (April 2021)

• Added 'text links' option to price filter, so ranges can be displayed as text links rather than just as dropdown
• Added option to price filter to disable/enable the price range boxes
• Changed default for 'show product counts' to 'hide' instead of 'show' since hide is faster and prettier
• Fixed product counts bug causing counts to appear outside category/attribute labels and outside colour boxes (https://www.wpintense.com/idea/fww-product-numbers-overlay-on-label-display-type/)

2.46 Beta (March 2021)

• Fixed bug in taxonomy class which was causing warning message to debug log
• Fixed bug in attribute class which was causing warning mesage
• Added breadcrumbs for all filters & taxonomies

2.45 Beta (March 2021)

• Fixed temporarily broken brand taxonomy on rehub (and other taxonomies that don't register properly) - now if you remove /brand/ from the URL, it works properly and shows the products rather than your blog list
• Added fallback code for when there are very many filters to use EXISTS - still use JOIN for first 5 attributes selected (uses 10 tables in the join). This bypasses the 61 join table limit and will still be fast since it still allows 5 restrictive inner joins to reduce the result set size before using EXISTS.

2.44 Beta (March 2021)

• Added template checks for category terms, e.g. /dogs/ will search template-product_cat-dogs.php then template-product_cat.php then archive-product.php

2.43 Beta (March 2021)

• Added template selection fix for Rehub theme which doesn't seem to configure custom taxonomies properly - so this fix will help with other themes - finds taxonomy template if no other filters selected, otherwise finds archive-product template
• Fixed product-tag & 301 redirect checker to preclude the check for existing products performed by woocommerce - for example: https://foundthru.com/product-tag/test-tag/beige/ should redirect to https://foundthru.com/test-tag/beige/ when the option to remove the base is selected, but in fact it was going to /product/beige/
• Redirect fix may actually be a big speed boost too to avoid woocommerce checking for the existence of products matching the URL (still to measure this)

2.42 Beta (March 2021)

• Fixed On Sale Title text - it was saving to the database, but it wasn't showing the change in settings
• Removed product_shipping_class from options in settings page when choosing title order and inline filters
• Fixed title displaying twice on taxonomy + filter pages
• Added a title separator config box to allow users to configure the separator between title values

2.41 Beta (March 2021)

• Improved CSS look for inline filters
• Fixed bug causing top level taxonomy links in the sidebar not to generate properly
• Removed SEO Titles warning on new installs

2.40 Beta (March 2021)

• Fixed code in template_include to choose the correct template - any mixed taxonomies or taxonomies + attributes will use the woocommerce archive template (3 fallback options)
• Fixed 'reset' filters option so that it works properly with custom taxonomies - it wasn't respecting the setting in the widget
• Added product taxonomies to settings config - SEO titles config, Meta description config and inline attributes config
• Fixed bug with product tags - was not using proper taxonomy name, this was causing filters to not know the taxonomy was set
• Fixed 'chosen' taxonomy link - e.g. in /dogs/snug-dug-co/, in the category widget, dogs is chosen - when hovering over this, it was using widget-wide config to choose whether to reset other filters - if the taxonomy is only being removed, other filters do not now get reset
• Fixed warning coming from awd_improve_performance function
• Added inline attributes from taxonomies (including category) - so admins can show extra product info inline which is clickable through to filtered results

2.39 Beta (March 2021)

• Added code to template_include to try and choose the correct template - I think the new variable not passing through - test on /dogs/black/ - it should use archive-product.php not taxonomy.php

2.38 Beta (March 2021)

• Removed ?stock-status=in-stock from the canonical URLs
• Fixed settings saving for onsale slug
• Changed code that gets product taxonomies to do it better & faster
• Removed tax slug config from widget area - it uses tax->rewrite['slug'] now instead (ie whatever is defined already in the taxonomy)
• Altered rewrites so they pass through additional parameters when non-current-tax filters are used - aiming to get woo to use the archive-product.php instead of taxonomy-xxx.php for these pages
• Fixed redirects & URL generation for taxonomies like 'product-tag' so you can remove the /product-tag/ base
• Fixed new install code to generate ALL taxonomies into the taxorder for use in FWW settings so users can change the order and configure if the URL base slug should be used

2.37 Beta (March 2021)

• Fixed warnings and notices that appeared on fresh install when no settings saved yet
• Fixed code that adds category/custom taxonomy widget so that the taxonomies appear in FWW Settings
• Added extra code to remove unused taxonomies from taxorder so they don't appear in FWW settings if they are unused

2.36 Beta (March 2021)

• Fixed bug affecting product tags where the tag was not being saved to the cache properly, so first load would work, second load of product tags (links for them) would not
• Added 'product_tag' as potential custom taxonomy
• Removed 3 unused taxonomies from tax list
• Fixed Link->resetFilters to respect multiple taxonomies and to not assume a category is set (fixes warning that was appearing)
• Fixed onsale filters to respect custom taxonomies
• Renamed 'donotreset' to 'Respect Filters' and 'Ignore Filters' - I think it's clearer
• Fixed taxonomy links for currently selected term so that clicking the currently selected term again will remove that term

2.35 Beta (March 2021)

• Fixed missing tax titles when /dogs/ was used instead of /product-category/dogs/
• Added URL rewrites for all custom taxonomies to use correct template and pass params to FWW main query
• Fixed bug with pagination with non product categories - adjusted code to perform better check as to when it should run
• Added term_link filter, so other functions (e.g. SEO) generating term_links will use /dogs/ or /snugdug/ instead of /product-category/dogs/ or /brand/snugdug/
• Added 301 redirects to send traffic to /dogs/ instead of /product-category/dogs/ (for all taxonomies) if the option is selected in FWW settings

2.34 Beta (March 2021)

• Added Custom Taxonomy widget
  • select taxonomy
  • added product counts to custom tax Widget
  • product counts properly affected by other filters, category and other taxonomies (if donotreset is applied)
  • Link class correctly deciphers custom taxonomy slugs in any order
  • Link class correctly creates custom taxonomy URLs e.g. /dogs/brand/snugdug/
  • Altered main query to take into account any selected taxonomies
  • Link class can now remove /brand/ easily from URL
  • Added taxonomy ordering-config to settings page - lets users choose the preferred order of tax slugs and which will be canonical
  • Altered the attribute widget to take into account all taxonomies
  • Added custom taxonomies to existing filters widget
• Refactored FWW Category Widget to extend the custom tax widget and re-use the code

• Fixed bug where URLs were incorrectly generated if users had trailing slashes switched off: https://www.wpintense.com/idea/fww-permalink-missing/
• Fixed bug with pretty permalinks for removing /product-category/ (or whatever is set) - only thing to bear in mind is to not create pages with the same slug as any of your top level categories
• Fixed bug with 'reset' option for category filters - it was working with URL slugs, but not with URL paramters - it now works with both
• Fixed bug with Existing Filters widget - if you were using URL parameters for attributes then clearing the last filter could go to a 404

2.32 Beta (22nd October 2020)

• Fixed bug with integration with Super Speedy Search (and other search) where top level categories (and full counts) were all being returned in sidebar - now it properly restricts the list of categories based on the search string
• Fixed bug with wp_query search being overridden by WooCommerce - now you can properly browse around retaining the search string and the search results will filter to your selections (categories, attributes, price etc)

2.31 Beta (14th October 2020)

• Fixed issue with WooCommerce product tag archives causing products to not display

• Fixed bug preventing onsale URL param from being added
• Added option to allow configuration of URL param for onsale products, so users can change the URL param to on-sale or whatever they wish. It overloads the onsale permalink field.

  tags from Show In Stock widget

• Moved config of on-sale page into Settings->FWW
• Improved canonical URLs significantly to reduce crawl time spent by googlebot
• Added full control over canonical, noindex(+nofollow) for all attributes in permalinks or URL parameters
• Improved canonical parameters so the canonical is always in the correct order - a third party could still link to /dogs/?color=black&material=leather but if you have it configured in a different order the canonical will point to /dogs/?material=leather&color=black (for parameters and permalinks)
• Improved speed of permalink calculation even further and improved use of the object cache

• Fixed CSS for some themes for the 'search' widget so that the search results will properly appear on top of any widgets below it

2.10 (11th February 2019)

• Fixed object caching - had added cache-wipe functionality to wipe just FWW object cache when user changes options, but this was being wiped every page load
