Changelog

• Feat: Pre-flight Check. Before a run, LPagery checks your sheet and template and lists Problems to fix and Notes about what it will do. You can still create anyway

• Feat: Pre-flight Check marks each affected row in the review table and outlines the cell to fix. Filter the table to rows with problems or notes, or click a Finding to see only its rows

• Feat: New checks for template placeholders with no matching column (with "did you mean"), empty values in slug or title columns, and rows skipped by lpagery_ignore

• Feat: New Extended checks for image columns (missing, unused or ambiguous source images, missing Download Filename, image processing switched off, columns that look like images but aren't used), unknown parents, templates and authors, unreadable status or publish date, and image values not in the media library

• Feat: Review dialog fits the screen. The check status, run options and Create button stay visible, and only the preview table scrolls

• Improvement: The slug check runs much faster on large sheets, reports the right row numbers when the sheet has empty rows, and runs again when you swap the file

• Fix: The review table no longer crashes with React error #185

• Fix: Database indexes now fit MyISAM's 1000-byte key limit

• Chore: WordPress 7.1 Support

• Feat: Live Mode. A new Render Mode that stores only a lightweight stub per generated page and fills in the template at render time. Template changes reach every page instantly, and your database stays small. Switch a page set between Classic and Live at any time, per page or for the whole set

• Feat: Views. Show related generated pages anywhere with the new [lpagery_view] shortcode. Build a list or card grid in the new Views tab with live preview, match pages by a placeholder column or show all pages of a page set, and control ordering, limit and pagination

• Feat: Background Generation. Creating, updating and re-uploading page sets, as well as Render Mode switches, run in the background with live progress, so large runs no longer block the browser or time out. Cancel a run at any time

• Feat: Overview tab. The new landing view shows what LPagery has built on your site: page counts, recent page sets, a month-by-month chart of your inventory, and health checks for Google Sheet Sync and background tasks

• Feat: Spintax: Each page keeps its wording across template edits, sheet syncs and forced updates

• Feat: Polylang support, and WPML pages now get the right language for their terms and links. LPagery sets the language of every generated page in Classic and Live Mode, the template picker shows each template's language, and the slug check only looks at pages in that language

• Feat: Manage tab shows the Render Mode of every page set and how much database space switching it to Live Mode would free

• Feat: Settings screen redesigned into tabs with a save bar, plus new options for Background Generation and Virtual Image URLs

• Feat: Live Mode pages serve their images through Virtual Image URLs instead of duplicating attachments, with an edge cache check that warns you when your CDN would get in the way

• Security: Fix stored XSS via post titles in the LPagery admin filter banner (CVE-2026-15404). Post titles and permalinks are now escaped, and the banner only renders for posts the current user is allowed to edit.

• Fix: Google Sheet sync "update look" now correctly updates existing pages instead of skipping them

• Fix: Honor the "overwrite manual changes" choice when re-syncing manually edited pages

• Security: Escape the LPagery template-filter labels shown above the admin post list so a page title containing a quote or markup can no longer break or inject into the inline script

• Chore: Refactor the plugin bootstrap (lpagery.php) into per-concern hook registrar modules under src/io/hooks/ — internal only, no behavior change (some undocumented global hook callbacks were renamed to static methods)
