Features

• Adds [edd_changelog] shortcode to display product changelogs
• Automatically adds visual badges for New, Improved, Fixed, and Dev changes
• Styled layout with clear visual hierarchy
• Compatible with EDD Software Licensing changelog field

Installation

1. Upload the edd-changelog folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Use the shortcode [edd_changelog id="123"] in your posts/pages where 123 is your EDD product ID

Usage

Basic usage: [edd_changelog id="123"]

The plugin will automatically style changelog entries based on these prefixes:

• Added: Shows a green "New" badge
• Improved: Shows a blue "Improved" badge
• Fix: Shows an orange "Fixed" badge
• Developer: Shows a gray "Dev" badge

Customization

The plugin uses the edd_changelog_badge_configs filter to allow for custom badge configurations.

Example:

add_filter( 'edd_changelog_badge_configs', function( $configs ) {

    $configs['added']['emoji']     = '🚀';
    $configs['improved']['emoji']  = '🔄';
    $configs['fix']['emoji']       = '🐛';
    $configs['developer']['emoji'] = '👨‍💻';


    $configs['custom'] = array(
        'prefix'     => 'Custom',
        'badge_text' => 'Custom',
        'emoji'      => '🔧',
        'class'      => 'custom',
        'ltrim'      => false,
        'color'      => '#333333',
    );

    return $configs;
} );

Each badge config accepts these parameters:

• prefix: Text to match at the start of changelog items
• badge_text: Text displayed on the badge
• emoji: Emoji shown before badge text
• class: CSS class for styling the badge
• ltrim: Text to remove from the start of matched items (optional)
