Version 3.0.0

Release post: https://webberzone.com/blog/contextual-related-posts-v3-0-0/

• Features:

  • New CRP_Query class for fetching related posts. This replaces get_crp_posts_id() which will be deprecated in a future version
  • CRP Thumbnails now include the loading="lazy" attribute added in WordPress 5.5
  • New parameter more_link_text that can be passed to get_crp() which holds the "read more". Recommended option to customize the more link text using the filter crp_excerpt_more_link_text or the more link element using crp_excerpt_more_link
  • Three new styles: "Masonry" (like Pinterest), "Grid" and "Rounded thumbnails with CSS grid". Might not work with older browsers
  • Imported settings of Related Posts by Categories and Tags. That plugin is now deprecated with this release.

• Enhancement/Modifications:

  • If WPML or PolyLang are active, get_crp_posts_id() and CRP_Query will return the translated set of post IDs and external processing is no longer needed
  • Use wp_img_tag_add_srcset_and_sizes_attr() to generate srcset and sizes attributes. The original code to display the srcset and sizes attributes will continue to be used
  • Improved caching with inbuilt expiry. Use CRP_CACHE_TIME in your wp-config.php to set how long the cache should be set for. Default is one month
  • CRP_MAX_WORDS has been reduced to 100
  • Dropped the need for FULLTEXT index on post_content which should save some database space
  • Deprecated the following filters: get_crp_posts_id, crp_posts_now_date, crp_posts_from_date, crp_posts_fields, crp_posts_join, crp_posts_where, crp_posts_groupby, crp_posts_having, crp_posts_orderby, crp_posts_limits, get_crp_posts_id_short_circuit

• Bug fixes:

  • In the settings page, only built-in taxonomies were being incorrectly displayed
  • If "before list item" is empty, then the output was blanked out
  • Settings help has been fixed
  • crp_get_option would return an incorrect value if $crp_settings global variable was not set
