Changed

Removed

  • BREAKING CHANGE: vf-template shortcode functionality removed. Store admins must now use the newer VendorFuel Blocks for frontend store components. Dashboard now displays an error alert to notify admins to migrate any remaining shortcodes.

Changed

  • Admin Orders index shows better error indicators, contextual colors, improved filtering and tooltips for order status.

  • Updated help text on Document Profile detail page.

  • Frontend vf-template shortcodes will more visibly fail if they are missing or using an invalid name attribute, preventing misnamed templates from silently failing and unknowingly disrupting user experience.

  • Group Orders page defaults to showing orders pending approval, with clearer instructions what to do if no pending orders are available.

  • Orders page directs group approvers to Group Orders page if they are wanting to approve order, providing clearer direction if they were expecting pending orders on the Orders page.

  • BREAKING CHANGE: Blocks for the WordPress block editor have been moved to a new plugin: VendorFuel Blocks. Please install and activate the VendorFuel Block plugin for Gutenberg blocks.

    • Why this was done: An issue was discovered which could cause problems as more legacy frontend code was upgraded to be WordPress Gutenberg blocks. The best solution seemed to be to separate all block development to a new plugin that would use only the latest WordPress APIs.

    • Moving forward, all future Gutenberg block-related code will be in the VendorFuel Blocks plugin, leaving the VendorFuel plugin for admin-related code and legacy frontend shortcodes as they are deprecated out.
