BlogOps WP

Changelog

What shipped, when. Updates arrive through the normal WordPress plugin updater.

3.6.5

August 2026

  • Queue pagination — page links, a 20/50/100 per-page selector, and a status filter dropdown, so long-running blogs with hundreds of posts stay easy to manage.

3.6.4

August 2026

  • Free edition: the Go Pro tab is now a full panel describing the Pro upgrade, with a working link out.

3.6.2 – 3.6.3

August 2026

  • Hardened activation — setup discovery now runs on the first admin page load instead of inside the activation hook, and any discovery error is recorded rather than interrupting activation.
  • Faster update checks with a short timeout, so wp-admin never feels hung if the update host is unreachable.
  • Full WordPress coding-standards pass: prepared database queries throughout, output escaping at every echo, and a translations folder.
  • New service hosts with automatic failover for update checks and the seasonal prompt pack.

3.6.1

August 2026

  • Separate image generator — a checkbox in Settings → AI Provider lets image generation run on its own dedicated API key: a different account, different billing, or a different provider than your text generation. Select a provider, or type any custom model ID.
  • Bring your own endpoint — advanced API base URL overrides for text and image point BlogOps at any OpenAI-compatible service: OpenRouter, Groq, Together, Azure, LocalAI, or your own self-hosted model. Leave blank for the official endpoints; also settable via BOPS_TEXT_API_URL / BOPS_IMAGE_API_URL in wp-config.php. Your key is only ever sent to the endpoint you choose.
  • Multiple BlogOps editions active on one site now show a friendly notice instead of an error — settings and content are shared and carry over to whichever edition stays active.
  • Supersedes 3.6.0 (same features, renumbered for a clean update channel). Installs on 3.6.0 will see this as a normal update.

3.6.0

July 2026

  • Automatic 14-day Pro trial on first activation — every feature unlocked instantly, no card, no signup, entirely local. One trial per site; afterwards the plugin settles onto the Free plan until you buy Lifetime.
  • Effortless setup discovery — the wizard pre-fills from any previous BlogOps install, Yoast/Rank Math/AIOSEO, WooCommerce store details, your site tagline, and your existing categories and authors. Review and go instead of type everything.
  • Season & holiday awareness — the current season and upcoming holidays (hemisphere-aware, detected from your timezone) are woven into every generation prompt, so content stays timely with zero prompt maintenance. Toggle in Settings → Prompt Instructions.
  • Optional monthly "seasonal angle" pack fetched from the BlogOps service, so timely content angles keep improving without plugin updates.
  • Redundant service hosts — licensing, update checks, and the seasonal pack fail over to a backup host automatically if the primary is unreachable.

3.5.2

July 2026

  • Update checks now run only on installs with an activated license — free installs make no remote connections at all.

3.5.1

July 2026

  • In-plugin upgrade prompts now link directly to the Lifetime Pro panel — one click from "you've hit the limit" to owning it.

3.5.0

July 2026

  • AI featured images are now part of the Free plan — every plan gets the complete post experience. Free's 5 monthly generations cover titles, articles, and images alike.

3.4.0

July 2026

  • Two plans, zero subscriptions: Free, and Lifetime Pro for a single one-time payment. Nothing recurring, nothing to cancel, nothing that stops working if we do.

3.3.0

July 2026

  • Schema Report: see every page carrying structured data — green check, or a red X with the exact reason why not.
  • Click any page to view and edit its JSON-LD directly. Overrides are validated on save, reset in one click, and link straight to Google's Rich Results Test.

3.2.0

July 2026

  • Bulk pipeline actions: approve titles, generate content, approve content, generate images, approve images, and schedule — for any selection of queue items, with wrong-stage items skipped safely.
  • Type any post author byline — existing users are matched by name; new bylines get a login-disabled author account automatically.

3.1.0

July 2026

  • Structured data built in — JSON-LD for your homepage (from your business profile, with industry-mapped business types), BlogPosting + breadcrumbs on posts, and a sitelinks search box.
  • SEO-plugin aware: automatically steps aside for Yoast, Rank Math, and AIOSEO, with a daily homepage check showing what structured data is already there.

3.0.0

July 2026

  • Simplified to own-key only. Two paid options: Pro yearly and Lifetime Pro. On every plan your AI keys and content go straight from your server to your chosen provider — never through ours.
  • Setup wizard streamlined: pick a provider, paste a key, optionally activate a license.

2.3.0

July 2026

  • Accurate plan language throughout: replaced "unlimited" with real, published terms.
  • Smarter Autopilot error handling: a failing generation category pauses on its own while everything else keeps running.

2.2.0

July 2026

  • Autopilot (Pro) — true zero-interaction mode: approves, generates content and images, schedules, publishes, and tops up its own title queue. Per-pass spend limits; failed generations wait for a human instead of retrying.
  • Background title generation with automatic de-duplication.

2.1.0

July 2026

  • Lifetime Pro licenses — cryptographically signed, verified locally, zero recurring checks. Works even if our servers don't.
  • Sunset promise support — active subscriptions can be vested into lifetime licenses automatically if the product is ever discontinued.
  • Custom model IDs — type any current or future provider model instead of choosing from the list.
  • Setup wizard shows license activation problems inline, right where you can fix them.

2.0.0

July 2026

  • Onboarding wizard with 12 industry presets — every article is generated from your business profile.
  • Multi-provider AI: OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), and Google (Gemini) with your own key.
  • Background generation queue — no more "keep this tab open." Close the laptop; drafts finish on the server.
  • API keys encrypted at rest, shown only by their last four characters, with wp-config constant support.
  • Team access: delegate the content workflow to Editors while keeping settings admin-only.
  • Licensing with Free and Pro plans and self-hosted plugin updates.

1.2.0

July 2026

  • Automatic blog page creation with a paginated, responsive card layout — created once your site passes six posts, or adopts your existing page.
  • Blog menu item discovery or creation, plus rotation of your six most recent posts in the menu on every publish.
  • Dashboard status card with one-click re-sync.

1.1.0

June 2026

  • Initial staged workflow: title brainstorming, article generation, featured images, scheduling, and email notifications.
