WP Business Reviews version 1.2.1 is a patch release that improves user experience, internationalization, and compatibility with the Facebook review platform.
Changed
- Update the URL format of Facebook reviewer images in response to a recent change in the Facebook Open Graph API. This new URL format will restore Facebook reviewer images and prevent empty blank spaces in reviews.
- Going forward, refresh Facebook reviewer images over time through a regularly scheduled background process in order to prevent images from expiring in the future.
Fixed
- Fix scrolling irregularity in carousel navigation that was caused by passing string values instead of integers when calculating number of slides.
- Ensure all review strings are translatable, including “via,” “Read more,” and “recommends” (as seen in Facebook recommendations).
- Use the date format from WordPress settings when rendering the review date.
- Restore Facebook reviewer images through a brief background process immediately after updating.
- Ensure a placeholder reviewer image is displayed if the provided image URL does not return a valid image for any reason.
- Clarify OAuth errors returned by Facebook so that user is directed to reconnect to Facebook as a potential resolution.
- When editing media, ensure the “Edit more details” link is not redirected to the collection builder screen, resulting in a fatal error.
- Remove overreaching CSS ruleset from Hint.css tooltips that was causing pseudo-elements in some plugins such as Shortcodes Ultimate to be hidden.
- Improve consistency of font sizes in reviews across all themes.
Removed
- Remove the date-fns JavaScript dependency since the review date is now determined in PHP using the WordPress date format.
