Fixed
  • Vote buttons showed guests the wrong state and tooltip when "Allow Guests to Vote for Comments" is disabled (buttons looked active, or blamed the visitor's IP address, then clicking answered "You Must Be Logged In To Vote").
  • Guests whose IP address is removed by a privacy plugin or a `pre_comment_user_ip` filter all shared a single post-rating identity. The first such guest locked the rating for every other one, or overwrote it when "Enable rate editing" is enabled, and they were all counted as one rating in the post average and rating count. Guest rating now requires a usable IP address, the same way comment voting has since 7.6.67.
  • The "Enable rate editing" form setting never reached the front-end script, so the confirmation before changing an existing rating was never asked. The form settings were read one line before they were loaded.
  • Pages displaying more than one Article Rating repeated the `wpd-post-rating` id and sent every rating click to the post of the page. Each rating is now a `.wpd-post-rating` element carrying its own post ID, so any eligible post can be rated wherever the wpDiscuz script is loaded. The legacy id remains on the page's own rating at the first checked built-in position, or on a manual placement when no position is checked.
  • The Article Rating schema was repeated whenever the page's own rating appeared more than once. It now follows the rating that owns the legacy id. The template tag's third argument and the shortcode's `page_rating` attribute can explicitly give or deny a manual placement that ownership when the settings cannot determine it.
  • "Display ratings on non-singular pages" loaded a stylesheet that did not style the Article Rating block. The standalone rating styles now cover it and use the configured star colours, allowing template-tag and shortcode ratings to display read-only on archives, listings, and other pages where the wpDiscuz script is not loaded when that option is enabled.
  • Selecting comment attachments more than once replaced the files already selected. New selections now accumulate up to the configured limit, and duplicate files are ignored.
Added
  • The `wpdiscuz_post_rating()` template tag prints the standalone Article Rating anywhere in a theme or page builder template, and `wpdiscuz_get_post_rating()` returns the same HTML. Pass a post ID to display that post's rating with its own form settings, or pass false as the second argument for read-only output. WooCommerce products continue to use WooCommerce's own rating.
  • The `[wpdiscuz_post_rating]` shortcode provides the same output for page builders and content editors, with `post_id`, `can_rate`, and `page_rating` attributes. Disable unneeded built-in Article Rating positions to avoid displaying the rating more than once.

Fixed
  • Logging in with X (Twitter) ended on a blank page showing "0" instead of signing the visitor in. The callback URL and the requested scopes were placed in the authorization request without being URL-encoded.
  • The Stick and Close actions under a comment on the WordPress Comments page never completed. The requests carried no wpDiscuz nonce, so they were rejected with "Nonce is invalid." and the button spinner kept turning. Both buttons also restore their icon now when a request fails, instead of spinning forever.
Improved
  • The Google social login button now uses the official multicolor Google "G" logo.

Added
  • The `wpdiscuz_comment_rejected_response` filter lets moderation plugins provide a clear explanation when a new comment is stored as spam or trash.
  • The `wpdiscuz_hide_readonly_vote_buttons` filter hides those buttons again, restoring the `wpd-vote-readonly` markup used before this release.
Fixed
  • Main and inline comment forms now show a moderation plugin's rejection explanation while keeping the standard wpDiscuz spam or trash phrase when no plugin provides one.
  • Inline comments stored as spam or trash no longer create subscription records or send mention notifications.
  • Comment insertion failures, including duplicate-comment and flood checks, now return a valid AJAX error instead of terminating the request with an unusable response.
  • Plus signs and encoded data are preserved in inline commenter names and email addresses, the comment-author email cookie, and submitted website URLs.
Improved
  • The Phrases screen now identifies the spam and trash rejection fields separately.
  • Voting buttons now stay visible in a disabled state for visitors who cannot vote on a comment, instead of being hidden. Hiding them left visitors unaware that the site has voting at all. The buttons carry a `wpd-vote-disabled` class and a tooltip with the reason, and clicking one still shows the existing message.
Other
  • Security: The Google Client Secret is no longer included in the front-end JavaScript settings.
