Dirigible People changelog

Latest release: 4.0.22, 2026-10-08.

4.0.22 2026-10-08

Fixed

  • The placeholder silhouette for people without a headshot is marked decorative, so screen readers skip it.

4.0.21 2026-10-08

Changed

  • People posts that the v4 migration rewrites keep their last-modified date.

Fixed

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

4.0.20 2026-10-06

Changed

  • A person's phone, text, fax, email and address no longer appear in the site's public REST API (/wp-json/wp/v2/people) for visitors, so the directory can't be downloaded as a contact list. Person pages and the editor are unchanged.

4.0.19 2026-10-01

Added

  • People block: new Heading Level setting (H2–H6, default H3) for person names, with job titles one level below. Pick the level that fits under the section heading above the block; it doesn't change how the cards look, and existing blocks stay at H3.

4.0.18 2026-10-01

Changed

  • Starting templates with "Include block content" off now clear the Person block's Copy, Title and Link Text.

Fixed

  • On People category pages, names read as level-2 headings and job titles as level 3 for screen readers. Nothing changes visually.

4.0.17 2026-10-01

Fixed

  • Website link titles with accents or quotes come through the 4.0 upgrade intact instead of being garbled or emptied.

4.0.16 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

  • People cards and the author card are one stop each when tabbing: the photo link no longer repeats the name link for keyboard and screen-reader users. Photos are still clickable.

4.0.15 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.

4.0.14 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.

4.0.13 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.

4.0.12 2026-09-29

Changed

  • The Person block, handpicked People lists and authorship cards only show published people. Drafts, private people and posts that aren't people are skipped until they're published.

Fixed

  • Apostrophes and quotes in person fields (job title, address, categories, website label and others) show as curly quotes again instead of the straight quotes 4.0.11 printed.

4.0.11 2026-09-29

Security

  • Person details (job title, contact fields, website, social handles) are cleaned when saved and escaped wherever they're shown, so they can't carry markup or unsafe links.

Fixed

  • People's duplicate-field cleanup no longer touches other plugins' fields that share a name (like phone or website).
  • The v4 upgrade can't run twice at once, and picks up where it left off if a request is interrupted.

4.0.10 2026-09-28

Fixed

  • The upgrade that converts legacy People blocks to the v4 blocks no longer strips backslashes from the other blocks on the pages it rewrites, so special characters like "&" in those blocks' settings no longer turn into "u0026" and fail block validation.

4.0.9 2026-09-28

Changed

  • People, Person, and Single Person add themselves to the blocks allowed inside a Dirigible Column, Page Blocks panel, and Media Callout copy area. Needs Dirigible Blocks 4.10.96 or later; on older versions nothing changes (4.10.95 already lists them).
  • The installable zip no longer includes builder docs, screenshots, or development files.

4.0.8 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).

4.0.7 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

  • Retina front-end featured screenshots (2880×1800) and screenshot manifests for People and Person blocks.
