1.3.20<\/h4>\n\n\n- Restored: dismissible donate notice on the Carousel Settings and Gallery Presets admin pages (screen IDs updated for the new top-level menu structure).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.3.19<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: image picker (add\/remove\/reorder images) and preset editing now work. The admin script enqueue was comparing against a guessed hook name that did not match what WordPress generates for a submenu of a custom top-level menu. The enqueue function now captures the exact hook suffix returned by add_submenu_page() and compares against that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.3.18<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: admin_enqueue_scripts hook name corrected from elcwg-settings_page_elcwg-presets to toplevel_page_elcwg-presets (partial fix \u2014 see 1.3.19 for the complete fix).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.3.17<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: browser focus ring (white circle) no longer persists after clicking an arrow with the mouse. Uses :focus-visible so keyboard users still get an outline for accessibility.<\/li>\n
- Added: white ring ripple animation after clicking an arrow \u2014 expands and fades out in 0.55 s. Resets correctly on rapid clicks. Disabled for users who prefer reduced motion.<\/li>\n
- Fixed: missing type=\"button\" attribute on arrow buttons (prevented accidental form submission).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.3.16<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: navigation arrows are now perfectly centered in their circle on all browsers and fonts. Replaced text characters (\u2039 \u203a) with inline SVG chevrons and switched from line-height\/text-align centering to flexbox \u2014 text glyph metrics vary per font and caused the icon to appear offset.<\/li>\n
- Improved: arrow buttons slightly enlarged (36 px \u2192 40 px) for better touch targets, padding reset to zero so no browser default interferes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.3.15<\/h4>\n\n\n- Changed: Gallery Presets submenu label renamed to \"Galleries\"; Settings submenu label renamed to \"Native Settings\".<\/li>\n
- Added: Full i18n coverage \u2014 fresh .pot generated from source; .po and compiled .mo files for English (en_US), French (fr_FR), Spanish (es_ES), Traditional Chinese \/ Taiwan (zh_TW), Korean (ko_KR), and Japanese (ja).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.3.14<\/h4>\n\n\n- Improved: Plugin menu moved from Settings to a dedicated top-level Carousel entry in the admin sidebar, with Settings and Gallery Presets as sub-pages. Provides faster access without hunting through the Settings menu.<\/li>\n
- Improved: Preset edit form reorganised into Identity, Behavior, Appearance, and Images sections for faster scanning. All checkboxes now carry inline labels explaining what each option does.<\/li>\n
- Improved: Settings page now links directly to Gallery Presets and uses inline checkbox labels consistent with the preset form.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.3.13<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: carousel inside a constrained group block (is-layout-constrained + wp-container-* class) no longer breaks out to full viewport width. The elcwg-full-width breakout relies on margin-left:50% resolving against the viewport \u2014 inside a constrained group the 50% reference is the group's narrower width, causing misalignment. JS now also detects this case (in addition to the inline-style check from v1.3.12) and skips the breakout, letting the carousel fill the group naturally.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.3.12<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: carousel no longer overflows a width-constrained group block (e.g. width:80%). The full-width breakout (width:100vw + margin-left:50%) uses the parent width as its reference point; inside a narrow group the math resolves incorrectly. JS now skips the elcwg-full-width class when the gallery's direct parent has an explicit inline width, letting the carousel fill the parent naturally instead.<\/li>\n
- Fixed: added min-width:0 to the carousel wrapper so it cannot be stretched wider than its declared width when it is a flex item inside a flex-row group block (browsers default flex items to min-width:auto which allows expansion to min-content size).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.3.11<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: carousel now respects the width set on the gallery block via Block Settings \u2192 Dimensions. WordPress writes these as inline styles on the gallery element; after JS wrapping the carousel, that percentage became relative to the wrapper (inner context) rather than the original parent. The inline width and max-width are now migrated to the outer wrapper before insertion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.3.10<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: alignwide carousel now respects the parent group block's custom wide-size set in Block Settings. Removed the explicit width override that forced the global theme wide-size, letting WordPress's constrained-layout container CSS supply the correct value (including any per-group custom content\/wide width).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.3.9<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: full-width carousel wrapper now uses !important on width, max-width, margin-left, and margin-right \u2014 WordPress block-theme container CSS was applying margin-left:auto !important and max-width:80% to all direct non-alignfull children of a group block, overriding the breakout technique and shifting the carousel to the left.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.3.8<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: full-size gallery no longer flashes before the carousel initializes \u2014 slides are hidden until JS setup completes, with a CSS spinner shown in their place.<\/li>\n
- Fixed: WordPress \"Full width\" alignment now uses the plugin's own full-width implementation instead of relying on theme CSS selectors that target the gallery element directly.<\/li>\n
- Fixed: WordPress \"Wide width\" alignment now expands the wrapper to --wp--style--global--wide-size (block themes) with a 1200px fallback.<\/li>\n
- Fixed: float:none on carousel wrapper prevents theme alignment CSS from floating the carousel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.3.7<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: carousel no longer overflows into adjacent page sections when its parent container has an explicit height (e.g. a group block set to height:200px). The wrapper now uses a flex-column layout with height:100% and overflow:hidden \u2014 it fills the parent when constrained and falls back to auto-height when the parent is unconstrained.<\/li>\n
- Fixed: carousel images now use object-fit:cover so they fill their slot without distortion when height is constrained by a parent block.<\/li>\n
- Fixed: navigation dots changed from back to \u2014 aria-label is not valid on spans without a role.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.3.6<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: carousel slides overflowing into the footer \u2014 browsers do not apply overflow:hidden to GPU-composited children (will-change:transform promotes the inner track to its own layer). Added clip-path:inset(0) to the gallery which clips composited layers reliably.<\/li>\n
- Fixed: removed :first-child\/:last-child edge-padding rules that produced wrong gaps when loop cloning is active.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.3.5<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: overflow:hidden moved from the wrapper to the gallery element \u2014 the wrapper was creating a block formatting context that corrupted page flow and caused the carousel to visually bleed into the footer.<\/li>\n
- Simplified: removed text animation and caption font-size settings (not relevant to carousel).<\/li>\n
- Simplified: settings page is now a single flat table \u2014 Enable Carousel, Autoplay, Delay, Loop.<\/li>\n
- Simplified: CSS stripped of all hero\/animation variants; captions are plain overlays with no JS animation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.3.4<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: Carousel wrapper no longer copies is-layout-flex from the gallery \u2014 WordPress CSS was turning the wrapper into a flex row, placing the gallery and navigation dots side by side instead of stacked.<\/li>\n
- Fixed: Wrapper now has display:block !important so WordPress layout classes can never override it.<\/li>\n
- Fixed: Wrapper still inherits WordPress alignment classes (aligncenter, alignwide, alignfull) so theme centering rules apply.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.3.3<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: Carousel wrapper now inherits WordPress alignment and layout classes (aligncenter, alignwide, is-layout-*, etc.) from the gallery block, so theme centering rules apply correctly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.3.2<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: Preset shortcode galleries now activate as carousels even when the global \"Enable Carousel\" setting is off \u2014 preset galleries are self-contained.<\/li>\n
- Fixed: Preset list table now shows [elcwg_gallery preset=\"slug\"] for presets with stored images instead of the outdated ids=\"...\" placeholder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.3.1<\/h4>\n\n\n- Added: Image picker in preset edit form \u2014 select, reorder (drag-and-drop), and store images directly inside a preset.<\/li>\n
- Added: [elcwg_gallery preset=\"slug\"] shortcode now works without ids= attribute when images are stored in the preset.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.3.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- Added: Gallery Presets admin page (Settings > Gallery Presets) with WP_List_Table UI for creating and managing named carousel presets.<\/li>\n
- Added: [elcwg_gallery preset=\"slug\" ids=\"1,2,3\"] shortcode renders a standalone carousel using preset settings, independent of global plugin settings.<\/li>\n
- Added: Per-carousel data-attribute overrides in frontend JS \u2014 shortcode galleries use preset settings; existing CSS-class galleries continue to use global settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.2.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: Carousel dots changed from to \u2014 aria-label is prohibited on spans with no ARIA role, causing accessibility audit failures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.1.9<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: Navigation arrows no longer shift vertically when changing slides. The inner container height is now locked to the tallest slide on load and on resize, so top: 50% always resolves to the same pixel position.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.1.8<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: Added !important overrides to counter WordPress has-nested-images gallery CSS that was fighting plugin layout rules, causing columns and images to appear off-center or wrong size.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.1.7<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: Navigation arrows are now always vertically centered relative to the image area only, not the full wrapper (which included the dots below).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.1.6<\/h4>\n\n\n- Improved: Images now display at their natural size (never stretched), centered within their column slot. Nothing is ever cropped. Previously images were forced to 100% slot width which distorted portrait images.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.1.5<\/h4>\n\n\n- Improved: Carousel now always shows exactly the number of columns selected in the gallery block. On mobile (< 480px) it forces 1 column. Removed intermediate breakpoint that was capping columns at 2 on tablets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.1.4<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: Carousel now fills its container div exactly, with no extra side padding \u2014 the container's own spacing is respected.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.1.3<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: Carousel slides now fit within screen width without truncation, with consistent padding between cards and screen edges.<\/li>\n
- Fixed: Overrides WordPress default gallery gap to prevent slides from being pushed off-screen.<\/li>\n
- Improved: Mobile view (< 480px) shows a single full-width card with proper padding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.1.2<\/h4>\n\n\n- Added:
elcwg-no-arrows<\/code> class to hide navigation arrows.<\/li>\n- Added:
elcwg-no-dots<\/code> class to hide navigation dots.<\/li>\n- Added:
elcwg-no-captions<\/code> class to hide image captions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n1.1.1<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: Added escaping to inline CSS output to prevent potential XSS vulnerabilities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.1.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- Added text animation delay setting.<\/li>\n
- Improved carousel responsiveness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.6<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed issues with more than 4 columns in gallery.<\/li>\n
- Fixed mobile issues with partial image sliding.<\/li>\n
- Renamed plugin to \"Effortless Carousel with Gallery\".<\/li>\n
- Removed parallax background functionality.<\/li>\n
- Updated settings page and documentation to focus on carousel and text animations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.5<\/h4>\n\n\n- Added sanitization for all settings to resolve WordPress Plugin Check errors.<\/li>\n
- Ensured compatibility with carousel autoplay functionality.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.4<\/h4>\n\n\n- Added explicit autoplay setting for carousel in admin panel.<\/li>\n
- Fixed missing carouselAutoplay in JavaScript settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.3<\/h4>\n\n\n- Enhanced carousel with touch\/swipe support and improved autoplay.<\/li>\n
- Optimized CSS for smoother animations and responsiveness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.2<\/h4>\n\n\n- Simplified carousel JavaScript for better performance.<\/li>\n
- Improved responsive design in CSS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.1<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed minor bugs in settings page.<\/li>\n
- Improved documentation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- Initial release with parallax, text animation, and carousel features.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Transform your WordPress galleries into responsive carousels with autoplay.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kn.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/254270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kn.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kn.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kn.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254270"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kn.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/domclic"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kn.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kn.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=254270"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kn.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=254270"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kn.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=254270"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kn.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=254270"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kn.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=254270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
