2.2.13<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: On Safari older than 15.4 (and any browser without native
<dialog><\/code> support), the full-view modal was not hidden when closed \u2014 its category navigation and image sections appeared permanently exposed below the gallery. The closed dialog is now explicitly hidden, and \"Show all photos\" opens it through a fixed full-screen fallback (with background-scroll lock and Escape-to-close) when showModal()<\/code> is unavailable.<\/li>\n- Improved: On smartphones the feature buttons (Video, Floor Plan, Before\/After, 360\u00b0 Virtual Tour) collapse to compact icon-only buttons and move into their own centered row below the slider, so they no longer overlap the \"Show all photos\" button. Each button keeps an accessible label for screen readers; desktop is unchanged.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
2.2.12<\/h4>\n\n\n- New: Two opt-in display settings under \"Display Defaults\" for the category navigation strip in the full-view modal.\n\n
\n- Category Navigation Layout<\/strong> \u2014 choose between the existing single-row horizontal scroll (default) and \"wrap into multiple rows\", which is easier to discover on galleries with many categories. Mobile always keeps native horizontal swipe regardless of the setting.<\/li>\n
- Category Thumbnail Format<\/strong> \u2014 pick the aspect ratio of the small thumbnails: square (default), portrait (3:4), landscape (4:3), or circle. Useful when a theme overrides one dimension and the thumbnails come out stretched.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n
- No behaviour change for existing installs: both settings only emit inline CSS when actively selected in the admin, so untouched sites render byte-identical HTML.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
2.2.11<\/h4>\n\n\n- Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 7.0. Verified the iframed block editor (editor styles are correctly declared via
block.json<\/code> editorStyle<\/code>, no parent-frame DOM assumptions in the block JS), the new \"Modern\" admin theme (admin CSS uses var(--wp-admin-theme-color, \u2026)<\/code> with safe fallbacks, no hard-coded WP core blues), and PHP 8.3 (no ${var}<\/code> interpolation, no implicit null \u2192 string<\/code>, no undeclared dynamic properties).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n2.2.10<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed:
hero=\"no\"<\/code> had no visible effect when combined with grid\/masonry layout. Two layout-scoped CSS rules forced the dialog inline-visible (display: block; position: static; background: transparent<\/code>) and disabled the modal backdrop on those layouts, regardless of the new hero-hidden<\/code> container class. Both rules now exclude hero=\"no\"<\/code> instances so the dialog stays a true modal with an opaque backdrop on every layout.<\/li>\n- Fixed:
LuxeGallery.open(id)<\/code> (and the data-luxe-gallery-open<\/code> trigger) threw InvalidStateError<\/code> when used on a grid\/masonry gallery without hero=\"no\"<\/code> because the dialog already had the open<\/code> attribute. The trigger now smoothly scrolls to the inline gallery in that case rather than failing silently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n2.2.9<\/h4>\n\n\n- New: Public JavaScript API to open the full-view modal programmatically from any custom button, menu item or theme code.
LuxeGallery.open(id)<\/code>, LuxeGallery.close(id)<\/code>, LuxeGallery.toggle(id)<\/code> and LuxeGallery.getInstance(id)<\/code> are exposed on window<\/code> and work regardless of layout.<\/li>\n- New: Declarative trigger attribute \u2014 any element with
data-luxe-gallery-open=\"123\"<\/code> opens gallery 123 on click. Works on <button><\/code>, <a><\/code>, anywhere on the page. No JavaScript required.<\/li>\n- New: Shortcode attribute
hero=\"no\"<\/code> renders only the modal full-view dialog without an inline hero grid, mobile slider or feature buttons. Combine with a custom trigger to embed the gallery anywhere \u2014 menu link, sticky CTA, custom block \u2014 without taking visible space on the page.<\/li>\n- Fixed: Plugin version is now part of the per-gallery transient cache key, so plugin updates that change rendered HTML auto-invalidate caches without requiring a manual re-save of each gallery. Closes a long-standing upgrade-path gap that surfaced with 2.2.8.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
2.2.8<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: Hero grid area assignments (e.g. image 4 spanning 2 columns) and per-gallery JS config were missing for logged-out visitors on cached page loads. The transient-cache fast path in
render_shortcode<\/code> returned the cached HTML without re-running wp_add_inline_style()<\/code> \/ wp_add_inline_script()<\/code>, so anyone hitting the cache received markup without the per-gallery grid CSS or the window.luxe_gallery_config_*<\/code> \/ window.luxe_gallery_all_images_*<\/code> globals. Per-gallery CSS and JS are now emitted as <style><\/code> \/ <script><\/code> tags inside the cached HTML output, so they survive every cache path (page cache, object cache, LiteSpeed CSS combine).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n2.2.7<\/h4>\n\n\n- Mobile slider: Fixed image bottom corners appearing sharp while top corners rounded \u2014 the
.luxe-gallery-image-wrapper<\/code> had no height, so the image rendered at its intrinsic aspect and left a bare edge above the slider's rounded bottom. Wrapper now stretches to fill the slide.<\/li>\n- Mobile slider: Pagination dots moved onto a translucent pill (
backdrop-filter: blur(6px)<\/code>) so white\/black dots stay legible on any image background \u2014 sky, shadow, pool water \u2014 without drifting off-scene.<\/li>\n- Mobile slider: Pagination now caps at 3 visible dots (prev \/ current \/ next) with a sliding window \u2014 fixes an accessibility issue where 10+ dots crowded together on long galleries and became indistinguishable.<\/li>\n
- Mobile slider: Fixed a long-standing specificity bug where the
.luxe-gallery-container button<\/code> reset zeroed out pagination-dot padding and margin, collapsing the intended touch area. Dots now use a ::before overlay for a 38\u00d738 hit zone (exceeds WCAG 2.5.8 AA 24\u00d724) while the visible dot stays 10 px and the pill stays compact.<\/li>\n- Mobile slider: Increased visual spacing between dots (12 px gap) so adjacent targets are distinguishable on touch.<\/li>\n
- Mobile slider: \"Show all N photos\" button no longer wraps to two lines on narrow phones (iPhone SE, 375 px) \u2014 added
white-space: nowrap<\/code> and max-width: calc(100% - 32px)<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n2.2.6<\/h4>\n\n\n- Admin UI: Fixed icon-to-label spacing on \"Add Images\" and \"Remove Category\" buttons \u2014 they now raise specificity above WP core
.button<\/code> so flex gap wins regardless of stylesheet load order.<\/li>\n- Admin UI: Image \"remove\" control expanded to a 44\u00d744 px hit area (WCAG 2.5.5) via content-box padding + background-clip; the visible pill stays compact and the control is now always visible on touch devices and on keyboard focus.<\/li>\n
- Admin UI: Replaced every inline
style=\"\u2026\"<\/code> in the media meta box (Videos, Floor Plan, Before\/After) with reusable classes \u2014 destructive buttons route through a single .luxe-remove-btn<\/code> token that respects --luxe-admin-danger<\/code>.<\/li>\n- Admin UI: Removed ~10 duplicate CSS selector blocks that made cascade behavior brittle; margins and paddings from the old rules are preserved in the consolidated versions.<\/li>\n
- Admin UI: Merged two colliding
@media (max-width: 768px)<\/code> blocks and fixed an unreachable flex-direction: column<\/code> on a CSS grid parent \u2014 the grid editor now correctly collapses to a single column on mobile.<\/li>\n- Accessibility: Admin body-text secondary color upgraded from #a0a5aa (2.3:1, fail) to #646970 (4.56:1, pass WCAG AA). Three other grey-on-white contrast failures on remove-links and empty-state text now use the same token.<\/li>\n
- i18n: Empty-state hints (\"No categories yet\u2026\", \"Drop images here\u2026\") moved from hard-coded CSS strings to translatable PHP via
data-empty-text<\/code> attributes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n2.2.5<\/h4>\n\n\n- Security: AI custom endpoint URL now validated against an http(s) allowlist; outbound calls refuse loopback\/private\/reserved IPs to block SSRF.<\/li>\n
- Security: PDF export and original-download AJAX endpoints now require edit_post \/ read_post on the specific gallery instead of a generic site-wide capability.<\/li>\n
- Security: Gallery password sessions default to 2-hour lifetime (filterable via
luxe_gallery_password_session_lifetime<\/code>) and uninstall now scrubs cache-version and floor-plan hotspot meta.<\/li>\n- Performance: Gallery output cache invalidation now uses per-post version keys, so saves invalidate transients on external object caches (Redis, Memcached) without enumerating hashed keys.<\/li>\n
- Accessibility: Screen readers now hear a single polite announcement per lightbox navigation (\"Image 3 of 12, caption\") instead of two separate regions firing.<\/li>\n
- Accessibility: Before\/After slider exposes
aria-valuetext<\/code> with human-readable percentages and labels.<\/li>\n- Accessibility: Focus rings meet WCAG 2.4.7 \u2014 thicker outline plus light contrast layer so rings stay visible over dark and light images.<\/li>\n
- Accessibility: Keyboard shortcuts (F\/G\/?\/Home\/End) are now scoped to the gallery container, preventing cross-gallery conflicts on pages with multiple instances.<\/li>\n
- Accessibility: Lightbox focus trap now includes iframes, links, and custom tabindex elements so embedded video controls stay reachable.<\/li>\n
- Accessibility: Decorative icons carry
aria-hidden=\"true\"<\/code>; inline <dialog><\/code> on grid\/masonry layouts announces as a region, not a dialog.<\/li>\n- Accessibility: Alt text now prefers
_wp_attachment_image_alt<\/code> across every rendering path (template, lightbox, floor plan).<\/li>\n- Accessibility: Plugin ships its own
.screen-reader-text<\/code> utility so SR-only text works even on themes that omit it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n2.2.4<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: Lightbox caption showing image filename even when \"Show image titles\" setting is disabled<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
2.2.3<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: Hero grid layout broken \u2014 CSS class mismatch (.item-X vs .area-X) caused flat grid instead of Airbnb-style 2x2+4 layout<\/li>\n
- Fixed: Lightbox shows blank images when lazy-loading plugin (LiteSpeed\/WP Rocket) replaces img src with data-URI placeholder<\/li>\n
- Fixed: \"Show all photos\" dialog empty when gallery has only hero images and no categories \u2014 now falls back to hero images<\/li>\n
- Fixed: LQIP thumbnail images no longer duplicated in lightbox navigation (aria-hidden images filtered out)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
2.2.2<\/h4>\n\n\n- Full view now uses native HTML dialog element \u2014 proper focus trapping, Escape key handling, and top-layer rendering<\/li>\n
- Fixed: Plugin settings (colors, gap, border radius, button text) now correctly applied on the frontend<\/li>\n
- Fixed: Custom button text setting for \"Show all photos\" button<\/li>\n
- Fixed: Hero images now included in lightbox navigation (click hero image \u2192 opens lightbox)<\/li>\n
- Fixed: Critical error on gallery admin list when gallery data stored as array instead of JSON<\/li>\n
- Fixed: Data loss when saving gallery with only videos\/floor plan but no categories<\/li>\n

- Fixed: Gutenberg block TypeError on non-block-editor pages<\/li>\n

- Fixed: Transient cache now invalidated when plugin settings change<\/li>\n
- Improved: Hero images with width\/height attributes, srcset\/sizes, and fetchpriority for better Core Web Vitals<\/li>\n
- Improved: Full view focus restoration for accessibility<\/li>\n
- Improved: Skeleton loading animation made more subtle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
2.0.5<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed translations not working: bundled .mo now loads via load_textdomain() before WP.org JIT translations can override with incomplete data<\/li>\n
- \"Show all X photos\" button now correctly displays in German (and other languages)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
2.0.4<\/h4>\n\n\n- Regenerated .pot file with all translatable strings (was outdated from v1.0.1)<\/li>\n
