Added

• Clearer instructions and help text when adding an external connection.
• Log image sideloading failures when using DISTRIBUTOR_DEBUG.

Fixed

1.3.9 - 2019-02-21

• Add dt_process_subscription_attributes action.

Fixed

• Ensure post types without excerpt support can be distributed.

1.3.7 - 2019-01-16

Added

• Distribute plaintext URLs instead of full markup for automatic embeds (oEmbeds). This was causing issues for non-privileged users where the markup was subject to sanitization/kses.
• Add push/pull context to get_available_authorized_sites().
• Add dt_allowed_media_extensions and dt_media_processing_filename filters so that different media types or specific files can be detected and targeted.

Fixed

• Avoid a PHP notice when only using the block editor on the receiving site.
• Avoid a jQuery Migrate notice.

1.3.6 - 2018-12-19

• Properly detect block editor content.
• Show notices with actions.
• Ensure distributed posts can be published.
• Fully disable editing of classic blocks in distributed posts.

1.3.5 - 2018-12-05

Added

• Add a dt_available_pull_post_types filter to enable pulling of post types not registered on the destination site. NOTE: This requires custom handling to pull into an existing post type.

Fixed

• Avoid duplicating empty meta values.
• Align with JS i18n coming in WordPress 5.0.

1.3.4 - 2018-11-20

Added

• Stable build now only contains files necessary for production.

1.3.0 - 2018-09-20

Added

• Add a media processing option to only distribute the featured image instead of the featured image and all attached media.

Important note: This is now the default option for all sites. Attached media is often loosely correlated with media use and in-content media URLs are not rewritten on distribution, making local copies of most attached media unnecessary in default setups, even as they add significant overhead to distribution. To retain the previous behavior of distributing all attached media (children attachments), change the setting on the receiving site to Process the featured image and any attached images.

• Support pulling multiple post types for external connections.

This adds a post type selector when viewing the Pull Content list for both external and internal connections, which is both easier to use and more performant.

• Distributed copies of posts that are later permanently deleted are now marked as skipped in the Pull Content list, making them available for pull again while not appearing as new content.
• Add dt_original_post_parent to post meta, allowing developers to better manage post parent handling.

Fixed

• Restore support for storing arrays in meta
• Don't show pushed posts as available for pull on the receiving site
• Correctly save screen options on Distributor pages
• Removed a redundant argument
• Code formatting fixes

1.2.3 - 2018-08-16

Fixed

• Issue that was hiding the "As Draft" checkbox on the push screen. We've introduced a new filter "dt_allow_as_draft_distribute" which can be set to false to disable the "as draft" checkbox.

1.2.2 - 2018-08-14

Added

• Helper function to return post statuses that are allowed to be distributed
• Utilize the og:url from Yoast for external connections
• Add new filters for authorized sites for internal connections
• Documentation and formatting updates

Changed

• Don’t set Distributor meta data on REST API post creation unless post was created by Distributor
• Exclude the _wp_old_slug and _wp_old_date meta
• Disable pull UI while switching between pull connections

Fixed

• Issue where content pulled or skipped from an internal connection (in the Pull interface) would show up as "pulled" across all internal sites / connections. Backwards compatibility break: internal posts that were previously skipped or pulled will show as available for pull again in all internal sites.

1.2.1 - 2018-07-06
