VidShop – Shoppable Videos for WooCommerce

1.5.1 – Discover More from WPCreatix

• New: A “More from WPCreatix” section that helps you find the other WPCreatix plugins, with one-click install and activate right from the VidShop admin.
• Improved: Refreshed the “Generate with AI” dashboard banner, which you can now dismiss.

1.5.0 – Video Feeds

• New: Video Feeds — save a video display once and embed it anywhere with a small shortcode like [vidshop id="123"]. Edit the feed and every page using it updates. Your existing [vsfw-videos ...] shortcodes keep working unchanged.
• New: A step-by-step feed builder with a real live preview (desktop, tablet, and mobile) replaces the old shortcode popup. The video picker now shows your library right away — browse and click instead of typing to search.
• New: A Video Feeds screen to edit, duplicate, and delete saved feeds, with a proper delete confirmation and one-click shortcode copy.
• Improved: After adding to cart, the cart now opens by default (configurable per feed) and the confirmation shows as a toast over the video instead of flashing away with the product panel.

1.4.1 – Cleaner Analytics Numbers

• Fixed: Average view time could show raw fractions like “1.99s” on the Analytics Dashboard and the per-video analytics page. Times now display as whole seconds, and the seconds part can no longer round up to “1m 60s”.

1.4.0 – Clearer AI Failure Messages

• New: When an AI render fails because the photo was rejected on safety grounds, the banner now tells you whether to tweak and retry or use a different photo. A genuine block (every model agreed the image isn’t usable) shows a distinct red banner that says so plainly, so you don’t burn time retrying the same image.
• Improved: The banner reads the typed failure reason straight from the cloud — image-format problems now show the exact thing to fix instead of a generic “couldn’t generate” line.
• Under the hood: the AI generations table gains two columns (failure_code, failure_reason) so the typed reason can be stored and shown. Migration is automatic on update.

1.3.0 – AI Shoppable Video Generation

• New: Generate shoppable videos with AI — connect a free WPCreatix account (a free video to try) or VidShop Pro for more, pick a product, and VidShop turns its image into a ready-to-sell shoppable video.
• New: “Generate with AI” lives right where you create videos — on the Videos screen and as an option on Add New Video — plus a one-click entry point in the product editor.
• New: An app-wide progress banner tracks renders in the background and links you straight to each finished video.
• New: Finished AI videos are added to your library automatically, linked to the chosen product, and marked as AI-generated.

1.2.0 – Ordering, Price Formatting, Display Controls & Extensibility Hooks

• New: Added an extensibility layer: third-party add-ons can register PHP apply_filters / do_action and JS @wordpress/hooks filters to extend admin surfaces, REST responses, and shortcodes without modifying plugin code.
• New: JS filters for third-party admin UI extensions: vsfw.admin.pages, vsfw.admin.home.widgets, vsfw.admin.pages.videoStats.body, vsfw.admin.shortcodeModal.generatedShortcode, vsfw.admin.pages.tags.body, vsfw.admin.videoForm.tagsSection, vsfw.admin.videosList.tagsFilter.
• New: PHP filters and actions on /vsfw/v1/videos: vsfw_video_list_query_params, vsfw_video_list_query, vsfw_video_response_data, vsfw_video_list_response, vsfw_video_saved.
• New: PHP filters: vsfw_video_shortcode_parsed_atts, vsfw_tags_filtering_enabled, vsfw_admin_localized_data, vsfw_frontend_localized_data.
• New: Shortcode generator now supports drag-and-drop reordering for specific videos.
• New: orderby (date, title, id, random) and order (asc, desc) shortcode attributes for “all videos”.
• New: Show / hide view count and like count, both as toggles in the shortcode generator and as show-views / show-likes shortcode attributes.
• New: Price formatting now mirrors WooCommerce — currency symbol position, thousands/decimal separators and decimal count are honored everywhere VidShop displays a price (product cards, modals, dashboard analytics).
• New: Price display settings page (VidShop → Settings) lets you override WooCommerce’s defaults just for VidShop, with a one-click “Reset to WooCommerce defaults” button.
• New: tags="..." / tags-operator="OR|AND" shortcode attributes; honored when an add-on plugin enables tag filtering by returning true from the vsfw_tags_filtering_enabled filter.
• Improved: Admin bundle now depends on wp-hooks so extensions can register JS filters reliably.
• Improved: Settings REST endpoint now correctly persists null-friendly defaults.
