Business plugin changelog

Every release of the plugin, newest first

Current version 2.0.5 — tested up to WordPress 7.0.4

2.0.5 - 08/16/2026

• Removed the 'Verified by' link that mistakenly appeared at the bottom of the review sidebar opened from the badge and tag layouts.
• Polished the tile icon of the 'Stars shape' option: the rating number now sits to the left of the stars in the same font and color as the default star row, the tiles match the neat Yelp geometry with rounded corners and half-star steps, and they scale correctly inside the badge and tag layouts.

2.0.4 - 08/16/2026

• The 'Connect Google' button in the builder now works with your own Google Places API key: save the key in Settings, and the plugin fetches the reviews directly from Google — no Google Business Profile owner account is needed, so you can connect places you do not manage. Reviews are requested with both the 'most relevant' and the 'newest' sorting, so the latest comments are imported too.
• Fixed the scheduled refresh of Google places connected with an API key: refreshed reviews were saved in a form the widget could not display.
• Added a 'Stars shape' option to choose one star icon for every platform — an outline star or a filled tile — instead of the icon each platform draws by default.
• Renamed the 'Stars style' option to 'Stars position', since it sets where the star row sits inside a review card.
• Major code clean-up: removed around 700 lines of legacy code that was no longer running — the old review rendering path, leftovers of the previous charting library and an outdated data migration. Widgets look and work exactly as before, while the plugin ships lighter and is safer to update.
• Fixed PHP warnings that could fill the error log when a connected business had no photo.
• Fixed several interface strings that could not be translated because they used a wrong text domain.
• Removed unused images and svg.
• Fixed the Facebook reviews count: the number no longer jumps after visiting the Overview page or paginating the widget, and it now grows automatically as new recommendations appear on the Facebook page.
• Fixed Facebook connections showing a wrong tiny count (such as "Based on 1 review" above a list of dozens) when Facebook reports an incorrect number for the page.
• The 'Rating count adder' option in Facebook connections now always applies and accepts negative values, for pages where Facebook returns more reviews than the page itself shows.

2.0.3 - 07/14/2026

• Added a 'hide review' link to each review in the builder preview, so unwanted reviews can be hidden with a single click without opening the options panel.
• Hidden reviews are added to the Exclude keywords option by the review author name, and can be brought back at any time by removing the name from that option.
• Added an Undo action to the notification shown after hiding a review.
• Improved notification messages to pause auto-closing while the mouse is over them.
• Fixed notification messages that could stop responding when closed manually while already fading out.
• Extend 'Save avatars locally' (GDPR) to Google and Facebook reviews loaded via API — previously only locally stored reviews were covered
• Store local avatars in a dedicated uploads/brb-avatars folder — each photo is downloaded once instead of being re-downloaded into a new monthly folder
• Refresh local copies when reviewers update their profile photos — previously the first downloaded photo was kept forever
• Spread avatar downloads across page views under a strict time budget, keeping page load fast even with thousands of reviews
• Validate downloaded avatars (HTTP status and image content type) and temporarily skip unreachable URLs
• Fix a failed avatar download removing the reviewer photo — the original photo is now kept as a fallback

2.0.2 - 07/06/2026

• Improved AI-generated replies for Google reviews to make them more natural, varied, and context-aware.
• AI replies now better reflect the original review text, rating, business information, and selected tone.
• Improved signature handling, response validation, and error handling for AI-generated review replies.
• Improved reviews data validation to prevent PHP errors when review data is missing or incomplete.
• TripAdvisor and Yelp reviews are now fetched through an upgraded data source, returning more reviews per business.
• Reviews can now be stored and displayed in a selected language, including regional locales (e.g. Mexican Spanish).
• Fixed default avatar for TripAdvisor reviews.

2.0.1 - 06/21/2026

• Deprecated the legacy reviews API.
• Switched all users to the faster API 2.0 for Google, Facebook, and other supported review sources.
• Improved review loading performance and reliability.
• Added a new OAuth Connection Wizard for easier Google Business Profile and Facebook authorization.
• Added secure authorization links that can be sent to remote business owners to connect their own locations or pages.
• Added isolated authorization sessions, so connected users can only access their own authorized locations and pages.
• Improved multi-location and directory workflows with easier place/page selection and connection management.
• Rebuilt the review analytics dashboard with faster, interactive charts for average rating, review volume, response rate, and response time.
• Added period-over-period comparison, so each metric can be compared against the previous period.
• Added an all-history overview strip — click or drag on it to focus the charts on a specific date range.
• Added date range filtering across the analytics dashboard.
• Added new analytics metrics: Net Promoter Score (NPS), unanswered (pending) reviews, and the date of the most recent review.
• Added new option to stop floating badges from showing site-wide.
• Improved the analytics layout to adapt to both wide and narrow screens.
• Improved Facebook review counting for New Page Experience pages, where the API may return a missing or incorrect rating count.
• Improved the Rating Count Adder so changes take effect immediately instead of after the cache refreshes.
• Fixed RTL CSS conversion from incorrectly flipping the sidebar transform value, ensuring the sidebar opens from the correct side on RTL websites.
• Fixed Facebook review totals that could grow incorrectly across cache refreshes and pagination.
• Fixed average rating rounding to match how Google and Yelp display ratings.
• Fixed response time and response rate calculations in the analytics statistics.
