Publish Calls to Action: a filterable Action Center page, detail pages, an embeddable block, a public JSON feed, and AI-assisted creation.

== Description ==

Action Center helps nonprofits and advocacy groups publish Calls to Action (CTAs): petitions, public comment windows, letter-writing campaigns, volunteer asks - anything you want visitors to act on.

Each CTA has a "Why this Matters" summary, an optional deadline (or an Ongoing flag), ordered Steps to Take, copy-paste Sample Texts, Related Links, Files, and YouTube videos, plus Organization and CTA Type tags.

Features:

• Action Center listing page via the [cta_list] shortcode: urgent deadline actions first, then ongoing actions, with type and organization filters.
• Per-CTA detail pages with automatic expired notices once a deadline passes.
• Upcoming CTAs block for featuring current actions on any page.
• Automatic Find Your Legislators section for CTAs tagged with the "Contact Your Legislator" type.
• Public JSON feed at /wp-json/action-center/v1/actions so other websites and apps can display your current actions, including a full-content mode for native apps.
• AI-assisted CTA creation through the WordPress MCP plugin: an assistant like Claude can draft complete CTAs from a link, always as drafts for your review.
• JSON import and export of CTAs.
• Automatic updates: the plugin checks its GitHub repository for new releases and updates through the normal WordPress update flow.

Full documentation lives inside the plugin at Settings > Action Center > Documentation.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin zip via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, then activate it.
2. Create a page for your Action Center and add the [cta_list] shortcode.
3. Select that page under Settings > Action Center.
4. Add your first CTA under the CTAs menu and publish.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does deleting the plugin remove my CTAs? =

Yes. Uninstalling (deleting) the plugin removes all CTAs, their tags, and the plugin settings. Deactivating does not remove anything. Export your CTAs from Settings > Action Center first if you want a backup.

= Is the feed private? =

No. The feed intentionally exposes your published, active CTAs so partner sites can amplify them. Drafts, expired, and ended CTAs are never included.

== Changelog ==

= 1.2.0 =

• Feed: new ?full=1 parameter adds a content object to each item with the full body (summary_html, steps, sample_texts, links, videos, button_text), so apps and partner sites can show a complete action without an authenticated request.
• Feed: every item now carries a modified timestamp in UTC, so a service watching the feed can tell a new action from an edited one.
• Feed: image is now the 768px size instead of 300px, which looks far better on a phone. The old size is still available as image_small.

= 1.1.1 =

• Fixed: feed titles and summaries now fully decode HTML entities (curly apostrophes etc. arrive as plain text).

= 1.1.0 =

• Automatic updates via GitHub releases (bundled Plugin Update Checker library, MIT).

= 1.0.0 =

• First public release.
