Dirigible Locations changelog

Latest release: 4.0.36, 2026-10-09.

4.0.36 2026-10-09

Added

  • A Carto API Key field under Mapping, for the Carto map styles. Carto stopped serving map tiles without a key on 25 September 2026.
  • Map Tiles shows a small preview of each style.
  • Four Map Tiles styles: Stamen Toner Lite and Stadia OSM Bright (Stadia API key needed), and Esri Light Gray and Esri Dark Gray (no labels, no key needed).

Changed

  • Upgrade notice: update the Dirigible theme to 5.31.114 or later first, so the Carto API Key saves.
  • Map Tiles no longer offers Topographic, CyclOSM, or Stamen Toner. A site already using one keeps it, and it stays selectable there.

Fixed

  • A Carto map style with no Carto key shows the standard OpenStreetMap tiles instead of tiles that read "API key required" (the same fallback the Stadia styles already had).
  • Importing the Locations sample data keeps characters like & and backslashes in titles, text and fields.

4.0.35 2026-10-01

Fixed

  • Location Search popups show location names as text (a name with < or & can no longer break the popup), and Location Map pins on Google Maps are named after their location for screen readers, with a hover tooltip.

4.0.34 2026-10-01

Fixed

  • The short description to excerpt migration keeps backslashes.

4.0.33 2026-10-01

Changed

  • Blocks register from a prebuilt list instead of reading each block's settings file on every uncached request.
  • Update checks use the Dirigible theme's license handling, so a plugin with no license key no longer sends an empty one.

Fixed

  • Location maps work from the keyboard and with screen readers: pins are named after their location and show a focus outline, Location Map cards and filter tags can be used with Tab and Enter, and Location Search announces how many results it found and highlights a result when its pin is opened. Nothing changes for mouse users.

4.0.32 2026-09-30

Changed

  • Block stylesheet versions are kept in one saved setting and refreshed on updates, instead of a database read and a file check per block on every uncached page load.

4.0.31 2026-09-30

Fixed

  • Style fixes to blocks now show in the editor, and on pages that load block CSS as a file, right after an update. Browsers and the host's cache used to keep the old stylesheet for up to a year; each block's CSS now gets a new address only when it actually changes.

4.0.30 2026-09-30

Security

  • Updates come only from Dirigible: WordPress no longer matches this plugin to a WordPress.org listing with the same name.

Changed

  • The installable zip is smaller: build sources, source maps, right-to-left stylesheets and Markdown are no longer shipped. Nothing sites load changed.

Fixed

  • A visitor who lands while the plugin is being updated sees "This site is updating, refresh in a minute" instead of a critical error, and error replies never include server file paths.
  • The Customizer can't crash when the Dirigible theme is missing or older.

4.0.29 2026-09-29

Security

  • Website, phone, email, address and category text is escaped on single locations, in the Locations, Single Location and Location Map blocks, and in locator search results. Map popups no longer turn encoded text back into HTML.

Fixed

  • Website links saved without "https://" (like www.example.com) now open that site instead of a 404 page on your own site.
  • Locator search results follow the block's Title Link setting: "Link To Post" opens the location page and "Locate on Map" focuses the pin. Results used to ignore it.
  • Locator cards show the location's email when Show Contact is on.
  • Sticky locations imported as "TRUE" or "yes" are listed first on the locator's first page again. Existing values are corrected automatically; cached locator lists update within a day.

Changed

  • The location edit-screen migration checks that the user can edit that location before it runs.

4.0.28 2026-09-29

Security

  • The store locator search runs a few database queries instead of two per location, so repeated searches can't overload a site, and its inputs are limited to what the search form allows.

4.0.27 2026-09-28

Removed

  • The old map placeholder image, replaced by a small drawn map in 4.0.26. Pages cached before 4.0.26 may show an empty map placeholder until the site's cache is purged.

4.0.26 2026-09-28

Changed

  • Map placeholders (Location Map, Location Search, single-location map embed and image map) show a 1.5 KB drawing instead of a 303 KB map screenshot, so map pages load faster. The placeholder no longer shows Google's branding.
  • Plugin download is about 530 KB smaller.

4.0.25 2026-09-28

Changed

  • OpenStreetMap maps load their map library (Leaflet 1.9.4) from the plugin instead of unpkg.com, so maps no longer depend on a third-party CDN or send visitors' IP addresses to it.
  • The block editor and other ACF screens no longer download the map library unless a Map field is on the screen.

4.0.24 2026-09-28

Fixed

  • The 4.0.23 download reported itself as 4.0.22, so sites kept offering the update. This release carries the same changes with the right version number.

4.0.23 2026-09-28

Fixed

  • With the theme's GDPR banner on, Google Maps now waits for the visitor's consent on cached pages. Before, once a consented visitor filled the cache, later visitors loaded Google Maps without consenting. OpenStreetMap maps are unaffected.
  • Removed a PHP 8 deprecation notice from the location search map.

4.0.22 2026-09-22

Added

  • Accessible alt text on showcase screenshots in screenshots.json for Dirigible Support docs (screen readers; pipeline falls back to caption when needed).

4.0.21 2026-09-21

Changed

  • Recapture Locations block Settings sidebar screenshots at 2× (retina) for Dirigible Support docs.

4.0.20 2026-09-21

Added

  • Sample data fixtures under docs/sample-data/ (WXR + wire + media) registered via ds_sample_data_sources for Dirigible → Import/Export demos and screenshots.

Changed
