Download SB | Reviews Feeds Pro v2.6.4

List of improvements in SB | Reviews Feeds Pro version 2.6.4

• = 2.6.4 =
• Fix: Improved loading performance for the block editor and Reviews Feed dashboard, keeping these screens fast and responsive on sites with large amounts of content.
• Fix: Corrected a few misspelled labels in several translations.
• = 2.6.3 =
• New: A modern Reviews Feed block for the WordPress block editor, plus a new Elementor widget — pick one of your feeds and drop it onto any page or post visually, no shortcode needed.
• Fix: Resolved a critical error on PHP 8 sites where an unexpected response from a review source could crash the page instead of being skipped over. Feeds now stay up and quietly ignore malformed review data.
• Fix: Adding or refreshing Google and Yelp sources is more reliable — when the reviews service is slow to respond, the connection no longer hangs or leaves you with an empty feed.
• Fix: Deactivating your license now works reliably, including cases where it previously kept showing a “License cannot be deactivated” error.
• = 2.6.2 =
• Fix: Improved reliability on PHP 8 — when a review source can’t be reached, the plugin now logs the issue quietly in the background instead of interrupting the feed builder.
• Tweak: Refreshed the Easy Digital Downloads source icon to match EDD’s current branding.
• = 2.6.1 =
• New: Help Widget with quick access to documentation and feature suggestions now available in the Reviews Feed. Easily find answers and share your ideas without leaving the plugin.
• Fix: EDD review titles now display above the review body on both the public feed and the customizer preview. Previously the title (filled in via the required “Review Title” field on the product-page review form) was forwarded to the feed but silently dropped by the renderer. Special characters in the title (apostrophes, ampersands, accented letters) render once, no double-encoding.
• = 2.6.0 =
• New: Easy Digital Downloads is now a first-class review source. Pick any of your EDD downloads, group several into a multi-product source, or build a feed straight from a category or tag — same wizard you already use for Google, Yelp, and the rest.
• New: EDD source icons render in the same provider-icon row as your other sources, so customers can tell at a glance which review came from your store.
• Tweak: Cleaner small-icon notice graphics — admin notification thumbnails now keep their aspect ratio instead of being stretched into a square.
• Tweak: Notification icons load reliably across the admin area; the small “Reviews Feed” thumbnails that occasionally appeared as broken images now resolve to the correct file.
• Tweak: After a Pro downgrade or after deactivating the EDD Reviews extension, your existing feeds keep displaying the reviews they already collected — both on the frontend and in the admin preview. New EDD sources can no longer be created in that state (the picker tile correctly disables itself with a clear “extension required” message). If you need to remove or replace an EDD source after a downgrade, delete it and recreate when the extension is reactivated.
• = 2.5.5 =
• Fix: Background cron update optimizations — feed processing batches more efficiently, reducing Google Places API requests on sites with multiple feeds.
• Fix: Connection stability under transient server conditions such as cache events, brief deploys, and high-traffic parallel requests.
• Fix: Site URL recognition across proxy formats (Cloudflare, AWS, Nginx), www variations, and trailing-dot domain forms for consistent connectivity behind any hosting setup.
• Fix: License activation and deactivation reliability with automatic authentication token refresh on the first attempt.
• Tweak: Test Connection diagnostic clarity — distinguishes connectivity, network, and authentication states for clearer status reporting.
• Tweak: Update external links.
• = 2.5.4 =
• Fix: Resolved a registration loop on multilingual sites (WPML, Polylang) where WordPress’s home URL emitted different language paths across requests.
• Fix: Hardened the registration retry limiter so it correctly stops repeated requests even when the plugin successfully registers in a loop.
• = 2.5.3 =
• Fix: Resolved a loop where sites that switched between http and https (for example after enabling SSL via their host) kept re-registering on every page load.
• Tweak: Added a safeguard that limits how often the plugin can retry registration when something goes wrong, so it never floods your site or our servers.
• = 2.5.2 =
• Fix: Deactivating your license works again — no more “License cannot be deactivated” error.
• Fix: When your site URL changes, the plugin re-registers your license on the new URL automatically.
• Fix: Google reviews from authors with non-Latin names (Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Cyrillic, etc.) no longer disappear.
• Fix: Source address now shows under the business name for Google, Yelp, TripAdvisor, and Facebook.
• Fix: Total ratings no longer dips during a provider outage — falls back to last good count.
• Fix: Plugin self-heals on next admin load if settings get corrupted by a backup/migration tool.
• Fix: Email verification no longer loops when the email was already verified.
• Fix: Clicking an expired email verification link no longer throws an error.
• Fix: Email verification completes even if your WordPress session has expired.
• Tweak: Hardened security on the email verification flow.
• Tweak: License deactivation errors now explain the real cause (e.g. license key mismatch).
• = 2.5.0 =
• New: Review Alerts Display eye-catching review notification popups on your website to showcase customer feedback and build social proof.
• New: 4 Review Alert themes including Minimal, Minimal Dark, Light and Dark variants.
• New: Customizable display settings for Review Alerts including position, timing, initial delay, and cycle interval.
• New: Page targeting for Review Alerts display on all pages, specific pages only, or exclude certain pages.
