v2.9.21

What’s New in Version 2.6

The 2.6 line improves legal/demo pages, clarifies unpaid vs paid order behaviour, and ships the timeline + Open Graph visuals merchants use on the storefront. This page summarizes what you need to know — not every patch.

Legal & demo pages (2.6.0–2.6.3)

  • Polylang — separate Terms / Partner Guide page IDs per language; frontend resolves the correct page. Shortcode [wccp_legal_admin_notice] for the admin yellow box.
  • Demo vs storefront — generate / regenerate the plugin demo page (with confirm); storefront dropdown stays independent. Guide: Chapter 2 §2.10 · Chapter 5.
  • Activation defaults — Safety Guard 14 days, Store Credit 180 days, sample Return Policy Notice when absent; multi-vendor Test Gateway Readiness.

Unpaid vs paid orders (2.6.4)

Update unpaid order prices (default: yes) rewrites only unpaid lines mid-campaign. Already-paid order totals stay unchanged; compensation runs at campaign end (Store Credit / Gateway Refund). Details: Chapter 2 §2.2 · FAQ §9.11.

Storefront visuals (2.6.7 + 2.6.25)

  • Timeline — tier intro, milestone dots (✓ / lock), «at X units sold», − discount prefix. Shortcode [wccp_promotion_timeline]Chapter 6 §6.1.
  • Open Graph image — 1200×630 layered PNG (progress, tiers, badge, photo, QR) with dynamic share meta. Customize share text via Social Share Description (not painted on the PNG). Chapter 6 §6.2.

Also included

  • Frontend i18n (2.6.5–2.6.6) — English msgids with Italian in the language pack; defaults translated at render when they match the built-in English text.
  • OG/QA polish (2.6.29) — share-image cache bust and QA/uninstall cleanup for leftover demo data — FAQ §9.18.
  • Referral & Partner (2.6.34) — module hardening plus expanded Chapter 5 (PRO license, Referral vs Catalyst Widget, tracking, admin ledger). Chapter 5.
