What has shipped

Every release, and what changed in it. The current version is 1.4.14.

1.4.14

Current
  • Find any payment in Transactions: search by the reader’s name, email or login, by the name a payment came in under, or by a payment ID copied from a gateway’s email. Narrow it to Stripe, PayPal or Ko-fi and show 20, 50 or 100 rows a page.
  • A proper pager on Transactions, Patreon Subscribers and the Ko-fi repair page, like WordPress’s own lists: first, previous, a page number you can type, next and last, with your search kept as you move.
  • Sites selling chapters in advance get the full set of filters: Locked and Unlocked on a novel’s chapter list, Free and Premium in the Library, and the Free / Premium switch on the homepage all count chapters on sale before they publish.
  • The homepage Free / Premium switch lists only the novels on the side a reader picks, and works with the list layout as well as cards.

1.4.11

  • Novel Requests, a public page readers vote on: Open and Translated tabs sorted by votes or newest, one vote per reader, each request showing who asked. Mark a request Planned, link it to the novel it became, or merge duplicates and their votes. The request form suggests existing requests while a title is typed.
  • One Request Price for every request form, the homepage section, the widget and the page alike.
  • A Purchases page for readers: every chapter they bought and where their coins went.
  • Readers can unlock from any chapter list, not only from the chapter, and a chapter on a timer shows the day it becomes free.
  • The chapter editor can suggest a price from the chapter’s length, a Patreon membership can buy coins, and staff can read paid chapters free.
  • A sepia reading theme, a favorites count on each novel, optional tags under the genres, and a die in the header that opens a random novel.
  • New homepage rows, Recommended For You and Completed. Novel sections can switch between cards and a list, cards can show a novel’s latest chapters, and the Library can be narrowed to free or premium novels.
  • Add Chapter from the header, with the next chapter offered when you finish one. A missing chapter can be put back in the middle without renumbering by hand, and part numbers like 45.1 are kept.
  • The novel editor’s Chapters tab holds volumes and chapter formatting together, and Novel URL Base keeps a catalogue on the address it is already indexed under.
  • Ads placed by Site Kit are recognised, so readers with coins or premium access read ad-free.
  • The EPUB importer takes a ZIP of chapter files as well as an EPUB.

1.4.6

  • Release times in fifteen-minute steps, with a count beside each, so a novel can put out several chapters at the same moment. The same control on the novel, the bulk schedule screen and the importer.
  • The EPUB importer offers four clearly different ways to import, preselects the safe one, and shows how many chapters it will add and how many it will replace before you start.

1.4.1

  • The chapter list loads on a cached site. The Contents panel in the reader, the chapter list on a novel and the two homepage load more buttons refused any request whose nonce did not verify, and a nonce lives at most 24 hours while a page cache keeps a page for as long as it is told: on a site caching for a week, every visitor served that page after the first day was told “Could not load the chapter list”, while it worked throughout for the owner, who is never served that cached copy. All four read the same public lists whether the nonce verifies or not; everything that writes keeps its hard check.
  • The chapter list is quicker on a novel selling early access: the rule is asked about the novel once per page rather than once per row.

1.4.0

  • Sell early access to scheduled chapters: a fifth access rule, on the site defaults and on each novel. A chapter scheduled for the 25th is listed at once, locked, with a countdown; a reader with coins reads it now; on the 25th it publishes as it always would and is free for everybody. Nothing is published early and no date is changed.
  • The plugins that ship with the theme appear as ordinary plugin updates, on Dashboard, Updates and the Plugins screen, installed from the copy inside the theme. A theme update also updates them in the same step, which can be switched off on Install Plugins.
  • The Customize button in the admin bar opens the Customizer at the top level as it does on any WordPress site, and hovering it lists the sections for the page you are on.
  • The comments icon in the chapter reader carries the number of comments, and updates when one is posted.
  • Community counts what is waiting, on the menu: novel requests nobody has answered and takedown notices nobody has reviewed. The overview adds a seven-day row of new readers, comments and purchases.
  • With email confirmation on, the Readers table marks and filters readers who have not confirmed, and offers Resend confirmation link and Mark email confirmed.
  • A chapter that is scheduled and paid now says that scheduling hides it from everyone until its date, paid or not.

1.3.8

  • Repair payments: a screen under Monetization, listed only while a Ko-fi payment is waiting, that opens the payment beside a searchable table of your readers and credits the one you pick; a coins box prices a payment the site could not; dismissed payments can still be credited.
  • The Ko-fi card reports the last delivery Ko-fi made and what became of it, and names a web address pasted into the Verification Token box instead of saying "Connected".
  • A coin package can be sold as a Ko-fi shop item at a fixed price, nothing for the reader to type; packages without an item keep the tip page. The buyer lands back in their wallet.
  • A Ko-fi tip that covers a package buys it, plus the change; an amount too small to credit is held for you rather than refused.
  • Latest Novels can be ordered by latest updated as well as latest added; the Library gets a Default Sort and a Recently Updated sort; "Updated ... ago" means the newest chapter.
  • Webhook and checkout return addresses are handed out over https whenever the site answers over it, even where the WordPress Address still reads http.

1.3.7

  • A Ko-fi Username pasted as the page address no longer sends readers to Ko-fi's 404; the name is taken out of whatever was typed, and the card shows where readers are sent.
  • The wallet tells Ko-fi buyers the whole-dollar figure Ko-fi accepts, and matches it back to the package.
  • A coin package must cost at least $1.00, the lowest price every gateway accepts; a cheaper one is marked "Not for sale".
  • The Stripe card names a key pasted into the wrong box.

1.3.6

  • Monetization saves again on a site with a spare coin package left at 0.

1.3.5

  • Theme Options saves again: since 1.3.3 the Save button did nothing on a site that had never touched the Upload Size Limit field. The field is gone; member pictures are accepted up to 10 MB or the server's limit.
  • A field the browser refuses on a closed tab opens its tab so the reason is on screen.
  • Chapters that free themselves are purged from SiteGround's Speed Optimizer cache.

1.3.4

  • The account sidebar and header badge show a reader's Gravatar when no picture is chosen in the theme.

1.3.3

  • System windows in chapters: level up, status, quest, skill, item, warning and world announcement presets, notification lines, seven tones, Screen or Card look, per site or per novel.
  • A novel written with the quote button for system text can switch every quote to a window once.
  • Footnotes with a tooltip and a list at the end of the chapter; pasted notes get the same look.
  • Code blocks in chapters wrap and follow the reader's font size.
  • Header Branding: logo and title, logo only, or title only. Title size in three steps, fitting itself on phones.
  • A Site Banner: announcements or custom cards under the header or among the homepage sections, with dates, audience and a close readers can use.
  • A support link for your tip jar, shown where you choose, plus a Support Banner section and widget.
  • Members can upload a profile picture; staff can take one down.
  • Guest comments become a reader's own when they confirm their email.
  • Get Started asks which starter genres to keep.
  • Ads from Ad Inserter and AdSense respect supporters.
  • The wallet links to Report an issue; announcements open in a full-width card; DMCA and report pages line up their breadcrumb.

1.3.2

  • The Discord for theme support is linked from License and Get Started.
  • A refused update says why, instead of "you are running the latest version".

1.3.1

  • Name for Novels: call them Novels, Series, or anything you like.
  • The name follows through to the page and menu items the theme made.
  • A name you typed yourself is never overwritten.

1.3.0

  • New Hero Layout setting for the novel page: Classic, Storefront or Quiet.
  • Choose where each fact appears on the novel card, and drag to reorder.
  • Storefront shows the chapter list beside the cover on desktop.
  • The synopsis can sit in the card or behind the About tab.
  • Reviews can appear as a tab beside the chapter list.
  • Novels with volumes list their chapters volume by volume.
  • Novel details can show as a compact row of stats.
  • A tidier Customizer, with clearer names, switches and descriptions.
  • Smaller fixes and polish across the novel page.

1.2.0

  • Sharper, lighter cover images.
  • Faster pages that no longer shift while they load.
