Dirigible Manifest changelog

3.1.73 2026-10-25

Fixed

• Documents: the first and last documents no longer print an empty heading where the missing Previous or Next link would be, so screen readers don't announce a blank heading. The row looks the same.

3.1.72 2026-10-24

Changed

• Internal: answer pages no longer ask the theme for a comments template it removed in 5.31.263. Answers never showed comments, so nothing changes on the page.

Fixed

• Answer pages: the links in the sidebar's category lists are at least 24px tall, so they're easier to tap (WCAG 2.5.8 target size). Rows that were closer than that move apart slightly (2px at the default text size); the first and last links stay where they were.

3.1.71 2026-10-23

Changed

• Documents and Answers name the site's business as their author, as they already did for publisher, by pointing at the business details the Dirigible theme prints on every page (theme 5.31.101 or later) instead of repeating the site's name and link. Older themes keep the inline author. Documents and Answers the theme had already cached are rebuilt on their next view.

3.1.70 2026-10-23

Added

• Answers have a Featured image in the editor's sidebar. When an answer is shared, link previews use it (Dirigible SEO), and a Hero block set to the featured image shows it. Answer pages and the Knowledgebase block don't show it.

3.1.69 2026-10-23

Changed

• Internal: the shared Dirigible field reader is updated (v5, also used by Dirigible Documentation). Pages and saved settings are unchanged.

Fixed

• Document and Snippet editor: the image and featured video fields no longer log a WordPress 6.9 deprecation warning ("getMedia is deprecated") in the browser console.

3.1.68 2026-10-22

Fixed

• YouTube videos, Google Maps and Matterport tours embedded in a Knowledgebase description, a Snippet or Snippet Collection excerpt or the Knowledge Base FAQ no-results text load on click (or lazily) again, as they did before 3.1.67, instead of loading with the page.

3.1.67 2026-10-22

Changed

• Manifest no longer needs ACF. The Document, Snippet Page, Snippet, Snippet Collection, Knowledgebase and Knowledge Base FAQ blocks and each document's or snippet's Featured Video work the same with ACF active, inactive or uninstalled. Existing pages keep every setting and look the same: nothing to convert or set again.
• Block sidebars use standard WordPress controls in place of ACF's fields. Snippet Collection's rows sit in a Snippets panel with Add Snippet, Move up, Move down and Remove, and the Document and Snippet Page blocks show the page layout around the content you're editing.
• Featured Video moved from ACF's box to a Featured Video panel in the sidebar.

3.1.66 2026-10-22

Changed

• Manifest's settings (document Slug, Adjacent Posts Style, Sidebar Heading, Knowledgebase Page and its back-link text) moved from Appearance → Customize → Dirigible Manifest to Manifest → Settings, with the same values: nothing to set again, and old Customizer links open the new page. Sites whose Dirigible theme hasn't updated yet keep them in the Customizer.
• Changing the document Slug there switches document addresses when you save, with no trip to Settings → Permalinks (needs the next Dirigible theme release).

3.1.65 2026-10-21

Added

• Documents → Import & Export (needs the latest Dirigible theme). Export the documentation tree as a spreadsheet or JSON, and import it with its structure: each document travels with its Path (getting-started/overview) and parent, two documents with the same web address under different parents each find their own, and a parent that's new in the same file is found. Spreadsheet text goes inside the Document block.

Changed

• Import & Export: a snippet's Featured Video is matched through the theme's same-site media field (any address of a file already in the Media Library). Needs the latest Dirigible theme; on an older theme the screens don't appear until it updates.

3.1.64 2026-10-21

Added

• Answers → Import & Export and Manifest → Import & Export for snippets (needs the latest Dirigible theme). Turn a spreadsheet of questions and answers into knowledge-base answers, update titles, excerpts and categories in bulk, or copy answers and snippets to another Dirigible site as a JSON file, content exactly as written. There's a preview before anything changes and an undo afterwards. Documents aren't included yet.

3.1.63 2026-10-21

Fixed

• The Knowledge Base FAQ block's structured data prints question names as plain text ("What's", not "What’s"), the way answers already were. Pages with the block that the theme had already cached are rebuilt on their next view.

3.1.62 2026-10-19

Changed

• Documents and Answers name the site's business as their publisher in structured data by pointing at the business details the Dirigible theme already prints on every page (theme 5.31.101 or later), as blog posts do. Older themes keep the inline publisher.

Fixed

• Document and Answer structured data show titles, descriptions and category names as plain text: Forms & Email instead of Forms & Email.

3.1.61 2026-10-15

Changed

• Removed the old Fuse.js library file, unused since our own search/layout code replaced it on 2026-10-01; it was kept only for pages cached before then.

3.1.60 2026-10-12

Fixed

• Document pages no longer show an error on sites without Advanced Custom Fields.

3.1.59 2026-10-08

Fixed

• The Customizer can't crash when the Dirigible theme is missing or older.

3.1.58 2026-10-08

Changed

• Knowledge Base FAQ pages, Answers and Documents refresh their structured data when an answer, category or parent document changes (Dirigible theme 5.31.98 or newer; older themes keep the previous behaviour).

3.1.57 2026-10-01

Fixed

• Knowledge Base category archives list the right category on every site, and the answer sidebar's category names display safely.
• A Knowledge Base category whose name contains a double quote or backslash shows its own archive again (it showed every answer under a plain Knowledgebase title), an answer with no category no longer prints a PHP warning, and answer pages have valid HTML.

3.1.56 2026-10-01

Fixed

• Knowledge Base pages announce the page title before the sidebar's categories, Knowledge Base card questions read as level-2 headings, Document sidebar links are a little taller so they're easier to tap, and Snippet Collection cards work from the keyboard (a click now only switches snippets within its own collection).

3.1.55 2026-10-01

Fixed

• Knowledge Base FAQ questions announce whether they're open, the Knowledge Base and FAQ search boxes are labelled and announce the number of results, and pressing Enter in a search box no longer reloads the page and clears it.

3.1.54 2026-09-30

Changed

• Knowledgebase and Knowledge Base FAQ search catch more typos (including swapped letters, like "cahce") and load about 24 KB less script.
• 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.

3.1.53 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.

3.1.52 2026-09-30

Changed

• Knowledge Base FAQ search matches words anywhere in an answer, including rows that show only the excerpt, and no longer treats "Read More" as a match for every row.
• The Knowledge Base FAQ's structured data for search engines uses each answer's full text (up to 500 words) instead of its excerpt, and updates when an answer is edited. Before, it only updated when the FAQ page itself was saved.

Fixed

• Knowledgebase search and card excerpts include text from lists again (3.1.51 left List blocks out).

3.1.51 2026-09-30

Added

• Answers have an Excerpt (Answer tab in the sidebar, "Add an excerpt…") that sets the text on their Knowledgebase card. Knowledge Base FAQ rows set to show the excerpt use it too.

Changed

• Knowledgebase cards show a short excerpt (the answer's own excerpt, or the start of the answer text) instead of the whole answer with its images and videos. Knowledgebase pages load much lighter, and so does the block in the editor.

Fixed

• Knowledgebase search finds a word anywhere in an answer. It used to match only roughly the first sentence of each answer, and loose matches cluttered the results.

3.1.50 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.

3.1.49 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.

3.1.48 2026-09-29

Security

• Class names, ids, style values, image and video sources, alt text and links in the Snippet, Snippet Collection, Single Snippet, Single Document, Knowledgebase and Knowledgebase FAQ blocks are escaped.

Fixed

• Manifest no longer overrides other plugins' allowed-block lists. Outside Knowledgebase posts it leaves the block list to WordPress and other plugins instead of clearing it; the Knowledgebase block list is unchanged.

3.1.47 2026-09-28

Fixed

• The one-time upgrade that wraps documents in the Single Document block keeps escaped characters (&, quotes, <, >) in existing block settings, instead of turning them into literal "u0026"/"u0022" text that fails block validation.

3.1.46 2026-09-28

Changed

• The Single Document block builds its page navigation once and uses it for both the mobile and desktop menus.
• The installable zip leaves out builder docs and development files.

3.1.45 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).

3.1.44 2026-09-21

Changed

• Recapture Knowledgebase / FAQ block Settings and Customizer control screenshots at 2× (retina) for Dirigible Support docs.

3.1.43 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.
• Front-end featured screenshots (2880×1800) and screenshot manifests for Document, Snippet, Snippet Collection, Knowledgebase, and Getting Started usage.

3.1.42 2026-09-21

Added

• Builder-facing documentation for the Dirigible Support site: getting started, documents, snippets, and answers usage; Documents / Snippets / Answers post types; Categories taxonomy; Customizer glosses; and Settings cards for Document, Snippet, Snippet Collection, Knowledgebase, Knowledge Base FAQ, and Snippet Page.
