New image size option for all widgets
As of version 1.9.7, the WP Dispensary plugin now lets you select from various images sizes when adding your widgets.
In previous versions of the plugin, the widgets would only use the wpdispensary-widget image size, but now you are able to choose from the following sizes:
- wpdispensary-widget (312×156)
- dispensary-image (360×250)
- wpd-small (400×400)
- wpd-medium (800×800)
- wpd-large (1200×1200)
We left default WordPress image sizes out of the available options, but if you’re interested in having them included, let us know.
Bug Fixes
This update comes with a few updates, fixing issues with empty pricing output in the shortcodes and the removal of depreciated code methods.
Fixed empty pricing bug in the flowers shortcode
In previous versions of WPD, the flowers shortcode would display Price/Donation, even if there was no price added to the menu item.
This version fixes this issue, and if you leave the price blank for a menu item, the Price/Donation wording will not display, keeping things cleaner on the front end of your website.
Fixed empty variables for WPD Settings options
While doing some debugging of code, we came across some empty price variables that were saved in the WPD Settings page code. The code would be empty only on fresh installs, before the user saves the page settings.
This is no longer an issue as of version 1.9.7.
Updated constructor methods for widgets
The code used to build the original structure of WP Dispensary was using an outdated constructor method for building the widgets.
We’ve now updated this code and brought the plugin one step closer to being 100% WordPress code standards compatible.
This is still out goal for version 2.0 – which between you and me is being actively worked on 🙂
