ChangeLog
3.4.0
- Compatibility with PHP 7.2 by removing create_function calls. Thanks to David (https://github.com/jordymeow/wp-category-permalink/pull/3#issuecomment-443597831).
3.3.0
- Everything is released for free.
3.2.8
3.2.7
- Fix: Name instead of Query Var.
3.2.6
- Fix: Avoid double trailing slashes.
3.2.4
3.2.3
- Fix: Display issues (heart icon was flying all over the place).
- Fix: Permalinks are handled in a much better way. More support for other plugins for custom permalinks.
3.2.2

- Update: Additional error handling.
3.0.4
- Update: Enhance the way the post meta is handled.
- Fix: Now newly created categories can be selected.
- Fix: Pro version validation.
3.0.3
- Fix: The permalink below the title was showing a warning even though the category has been picked with a previous version of the plugin.
- Fix: The categories were not bold nor red on the Posts list. With Pro, that also works with WooCommerce well 🙂
- Fix: Issue from the past. If you can’t seem to save your columns, you might need to run the query “DELETE FROM
wp_usermeta
WHERE meta_key
LIKE ‘%wp_manageedit%'” on your DB, just once, to repair the View Screen options.
3.0.2
- Fix: Issue with multisite (with the includes).
- Add: Permalink shown below the title of the posts list (can be disabled in the option). Heart means a category has been picked, otherwise a little red warning is shown.
- Update: A lot of coding & UI improvements.
2.2.8
- Fix: Infinite hidden columns to user meta (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/infinite-user-meta).
2.0
- Fix: Update issue for non-WooCommerce user.
- Change: Let’s make it 2.0 since it’s a major change.
1.0
0.1.4
- Add: default category will be shown in red if no category was picked.
