🔌 WordPress Plugin v1.5.3 – UX Refinements (Score-Refresh, URL Card, Hero Generator)

May 16, 2026 Plugin · UX
  • 🔄 Score-Refresh button much more visible: The "Refresh" button in the AI Visibility card header is now a clearly labelled secondary button (instead of a tiny icon) – the loading state (spinner + "Refreshing…" label) is much easier to see.
  • ⬇️ Second refresh button at the bottom: Users can re-check the score after editing settings without scrolling back up – own card with a prominent refresh button at the end of the main column.
  • 📄 URL card with clear labels: "Your llms.txt URLs" in the sidebar now labels each file ("📄 llms.txt – Compact overview" / "📑 llms-full.txt – Full page listing") with a one-line description. The full URL path is no longer truncated.
  • ⚡ Generator hero card on top: The File Status card with the "Generate now" button moved to the TOP as a prominent hero card – the plugin's primary purpose (llms.txt generation) now leads the UI, with the score card as a complementary insight below.
  • 💡 Score card more compact: Recommendation list in the score card reduced from 3 to 1 top recommendation with a "see all →" link to the detail page – keeping the card itself compact.
  • ✨ Pure UI/UX polish: No backend or API changes – frontend refinements based on user feedback.

🔌 WordPress Plugin v1.5.2 – Critical Bugfix: Pro-License Tier Detection

May 16, 2026 Plugin · Critical Fix
  • 🛠 sanitize_settings now respects Pro data: The WordPress settings callback overwrote pro_tier from $existing instead of $input on every update_option – Agency licenses got reset to "pro" after saving. Fix: pro_*-values are now taken directly from $input, tier whitelist extended with "business", strict in_array for mode.
  • 🔑 Server hotfix wp-generate.php: Tier-based license check instead of plan-based – Pro Business with plan=monthly fell out of the old whitelist ['pro','agency','pro-yearly','agency-yearly'] and got 403. Fix matches license.php: tier derived from plan (isAgency = strpos plan 'agency'). Whitelist now ['pro','business','agency'].
  • 📡 API client surfaces 401 details: class-api-client now passes through the server error detail on 401 instead of just a generic "Unauthorized" – easier diagnosis of license verification failures.
  • ✅ End-to-end verified on authortools.de: Pro Business active, URL limit 2000 persists after verify click, generate via Pro API successful.

🔌 WordPress Plugin v1.5.1 – Score-Card Position + Stale Error Banner

May 15, 2026 Plugin · Fix
  • 📍 Score card moved to top: The AI Visibility card was at the bottom of the main column and often overlooked by users – now prominently placed at the top, much easier to find.
  • 🧹 Stale "Last error" banner cleanup: The llmstxt_last_error option persisted after the error was resolved and kept being displayed. Fix: render_page() now clears it on every render – only actual current errors are shown.

🔌 WordPress Plugin v1.5.0 – AI Visibility Score + Detail Page

  • 🔐 Pro License Card (v1.5.0): Masked key + licensed-to display + verified date + Copy/Re-verify/Logout buttons. AJAX logout and re-verify without reload.
