v0.1.5
25 May 2026
One-click jump to your Plugin Pilot account: every plugin page now has an "Open in app" button that takes you straight to your dashboard, your site detail, or your billing — no password retype.
What's new
- "Open in app" everywhere it makes sense. A new button at the top of every Plugin Pilot screen jumps you straight into your portal account — to the multi-site dashboard from Activity and Settings, and to this site's detail page from the Updates view.
- "Manage subscription" now actually opens billing. The Pro hero's Manage subscription link used to bounce you back to the plugin's own Settings page; it now opens your Stripe billing portal directly so you can update your card or download invoices in one click.
- WordPress dashboard widget + admin bar shortcuts. The Plugin Pilot widget on your WordPress home dashboard gains an Open in app button. The top admin bar gets Open this site in app and Multi-site dashboard sub-links so you can reach the portal from any screen in WordPress, not just the Plugin Pilot pages.
- "Upgrade in app" for free-tier sites. Already connected on the free plan? The plan card's Connect Pro button now mints a hand-off and lands you on the upgrade picker with a session — no logging in again.
- Clickable portal login link on Settings. The "Don't have a Connect Code?" and "we don't recognise this code" panels now include a direct Log in to portal button so existing customers can recover their code without hunting for the URL.
All of these use the same single-use, 5-minute hand-off token under the hood, so you only ever sign in to the portal once.
If you're an unconnected free install, nothing changes — the new buttons only appear once a Connect Code has been pasted.

v0.1.4
24 May 2026
One-click upgrade: clicking "Upgrade to Pro" inside WordPress now takes you straight to checkout, no portal login screen in the middle.
What's new
- Every "Upgrade" button inside the WordPress admin now uses a one-click flow: click, and you land directly on Stripe's secure payment page. No portal login, no password retype.
- If you don't have a portal account yet, one is created automatically using your WordPress admin email — no extra signup step.
- If the upgrade link is older than 5 minutes or has already been used, we send you to the portal sign-in page so you can finish manually.

v0.1.3
23 May 2026
Cleaner setup: paste your Connect Code and you're done. No more typing in URLs or ticking sync boxes.
What's new
- The plugin now talks to Plugin Pilot out of the box — no "App URL" to fill in or sync checkbox to tick. Most users will only ever touch the Connect Code field.
- Advanced settings (sync toggle, custom app URL for self-hosted setups) are tucked into a collapsible "Advanced" section so they don't clutter the page.
- If your Connect Code stops working because the account was deleted or the code was rotated, the Settings page now shows a clear "Sign up free →" recovery button instead of silently looking like nothing's wrong.
Self-hosted operators: you can still point the plugin at your own control plane via the Advanced section, or via a
PLUGINPILOT_APP_URLconstant in your wp-config.php. -
v0.1.2
23 May 2026
Reliability fix: the plugin now correctly shows "Not connected" if your account or Connect Code is no longer valid, instead of remembering the last plan it saw.
What's new
- If Plugin Pilot can't recognise your site (rotated Connect Code, deleted account, or never connected), the dashboard now reads "Not connected" with a clear recovery message — no more stale plan tiers hanging around.
- Network blips no longer cause a downgrade: if the Plugin Pilot service is briefly unreachable, the plugin keeps showing your real plan until it can check again.
If you're a fresh install, nothing changes — this is a behind-the-scenes correctness fix.

v0.1.1
23 May 2026
Faster onboarding: install the plugin first and a new "Sign up free" button takes you straight to creating your account.
What's new
- Install-first onboarding: a clear "Don't have a Connect Code? Sign up free" button on the plugin Settings page when no code is set.
- The signup link carries your site URL through, so after you sign up the welcome screen tells you exactly where to paste the Connect Code.
- Email confirmation: your Connect Code is now also emailed to you, so you can't lose it.
If you're an existing customer, nothing changes — your Connect Code still works exactly as before.
