A new version of ImagePress sees the light of day. This release fixes lots of issues and removes a lot of legacy code.
It’s the little things that matter
ImagePress is meant to be used by members, not anonymously. Hence, the deprecated author name and email post meta have been removed. Lots of features depend on an image having an author, and a post meta does not suffice (and also introduces lots of edge cases).
I have also removed some unused labels.
I have also refactored the upload limits/restrictions for better performance. A customisable message is now shown dynamically, instead of being hardcoded, based on ImagePress’ options.
Getting ready for Gutenberg
Do I need all those tiny post meta values or can I refactor them and rebuild certain parts of the plugin? The answer is yes, so ImagePress 7.7.1 adds more speed to your custom post types and makes the plugin compatible with Gutenberg in the process.
Sweet alerts
We now have better confirmation and alert boxes, called sweet alerts. They are less intrusive and offer a better user experience.
