- Features:
- Roles & Access (Pro): New Roles & Access settings tab to control which WordPress roles can open the Bit Social dashboard and menu. Administrators always keep full access.
- Roles & Access (Pro): Per-account permissions — restrict which roles may publish through each connected account, enforced on Auto Post, Schedules and Share Now.
- Accounts (Pro): Reconnect an existing account in place — tokens are refreshed without creating a duplicate, so its schedules and permissions stay intact.
- Accounts: New account details modal with account info, connected/last updated timestamps and per-account role permissions.
- Logs: The Logs table now shows the platform logo and the account avatar for each entry.
- Logs, Schedules & Share Now: New “Created by” column showing who created each item, along with their role.
- Improvements:
- Account Groups: Redesigned the group list as cards with proper dark-theme colours, clearer rename/add/delete actions and real empty states.
- Accounts: Switching between the Accounts and Groups tabs is now instant instead of rebuilding the page and refetching everything.
- Facebook: Pages stopped publishing roughly 50 days after being connected because page tokens were needlessly run through the token exchange; refreshed tokens are now also saved correctly.
- Tumblr: Token refreshes are serialized so concurrent publishes no longer fail with 401 errors.
- Bluesky & X (Twitter): Publishing no longer fails on hosts where the optional fileinfo or mbstring PHP extensions are disabled, and Bluesky link/mention offsets are correct for non-ASCII text.
- Google Business Profile: Stopped refreshing the access token on every publish.
- Pro: Enforced nonce validation on Pro AJAX requests.
- Auto Post: Preserved the existing free-version behaviour for non-admin authors so their posts keep auto-posting.
- Accounts: The delete confirmation now shows which account is being removed and no longer appears behind the modal.
