Free Shipping Bar for WooCommerce

Release history

Every version, what changed, and when it shipped.

  1. 1.5.13
    • Fixed: the progress fill barely showed against the groove it fills — 2.77 to 1, when the fill is the one thing the bar exists to show. It is a clearer teal now.
    • Saving now says what was saved. Every screen answered with the same word — “Saved.” — which tells you the one thing you already knew, that you pressed the button. Each screen names what it kept.
    • The confirmation message has no close button and more room at both ends: it leaves on its own after four seconds, and clicking anywhere on it dismisses it.
  2. 1.5.12
    • Confirmation and error messages are easier to see: rounder, and coloured by what they are saying — green for saved, red for something rejected, amber for something to look at — each with a mark of its own.
    • A licence message now looks like one. Activating a key answered in an unmarked grey box, whatever it said; it carries the right colour and a mark like every other message on the screen.
    • A licence key that could not be a key is refused on the spot, without a request to the licence server and without reloading the screen. An empty box used to mean a wait, and on an offline site it meant being told the licence server could not be reached.
    • A key pasted out of an email in lower case, or with the dashes lost, is put right rather than reported as wrong.
  3. 1.5.11
    • Confirmation messages line up properly and sit on rounder corners: they were top-aligned with the text nudged down two pixels to meet the icon, which on a one-line message read as a misalignment because it was one.
  4. 1.5.10
    • Confirmations are easier to see. The message after a save is bordered in the colour of what it is telling you, sized to the words rather than stretched to a fixed card, and it now says what was saved rather than just "Saved".
    • It stays for four seconds instead of three — long enough to read a sentence — and hovering it holds it open.
  5. 1.5.9
    • Tab changes are instant. The plugin's other screens are fetched quietly in the background while you read the first one, so by the time you click a tab there is nothing left to wait for — tens of milliseconds instead of a second and a half.
    • One at a time, never in parallel, started only once the screen you are on is ready and the browser says it is idle, stopped the moment you navigate, and skipped entirely on a metered connection.
  6. 1.5.8
    • An admin that never reloads. Every screen arrives without a page load and every save happens where you are standing — and the screen you are heading for is usually already fetched, because moving a pointer to a menu item takes long enough to fetch it.
    • Saved, and told so where you are looking. A save answers in a small message in the top-right corner that clears itself after a few seconds, instead of reloading the page and putting a notice above the header.
    • It is an enhancement, not a dependency: if a fetch fails or scripting is off, links navigate and forms submit exactly as they always did, and the server side is unchanged.
  7. 1.5.7
    • Notices redesigned: a quiet bordered card at 14px with the tone carried by a tinted icon, rather than a block of colour in coloured type.
  8. 1.5.6
    • Every notice this plugin prints now looks the same: a white box with a coloured rule down its edge — orange for something to do, red for something wrong, green for something that worked. WordPress tinted a warning cream and an error pink and gave each one its own border colour, so a few notices in a row read as a few different kinds of box.
    • The message on the licence screen after activating or deactivating a key now stays where it is printed, rather than jumping down the page a second after the screen has loaded.
  9. 1.5.5
    • Fixed: a notice from this plugin no longer jumps after the page has loaded. WordPress lifts any notice out of the page once it is ready and drops it under the page heading, so the screen settled and then everything below moved by the height of a notice — and painted once in WordPress's colours before ours arrived. Ours stay where they are put, styled from the first paint.
  10. 1.5.4
    • Tooltips are ours rather than the browser's. They appear the moment you hover or focus instead of after a second, they are styled like the rest of the screen, and somebody using a keyboard gets them too. That covers the message tokens and the copy button beside a shortcode.
  11. 1.5.3
    • Fixed: "Never on these" threw away every exception but the first. The field posts its choices as one line, and the code that read it back only knew how to split that line in one of the two shapes it arrives in — so choosing two pages to keep it off kept it off neither. It has been that way since the display settings were rebuilt. One choice always worked, which is why it went unnoticed.
    • Fixed: a place could be chosen and ruled out at the same time when the choice came from a preset. "The front page only" left the front page tickable under Quick exclude, which is a rule that cancels itself. The preset now greys out the places it chose, and the setting is refused on save even if the form says otherwise.
    • Fixed: a place ticked under Quick exclude could not be unticked. It was written into the field below it as well, and that field posted it straight back on the next save. Named places belong to the ticks now, and individual pages and categories to the field, so nothing is written down twice.
    • Only these roles appears once Signed in is ticked, rather than sitting there inviting a rule that can never match: a role is something only a signed-in visitor has.
  12. 1.5.2
    • The display settings are laid out in two columns throughout, with no column left empty.
  13. 1.5.1
    • The display settings are laid out in two columns: what it shows on and who sees it on the left, what it is kept off and when on the right, so the pair can be read against each other.
    • Fixed: a place could be ticked both as somewhere to show and somewhere to exclude, which is a rule that cancels itself. Ticking one now greys out the other, and the setting is refused on save even if the form says otherwise.
  14. 1.5.0
    • The display settings are one structure now, the same in every plugin: a preset for the common answers, tick lists for the places, kinds of content and archives, and searchable fields for the exceptions.
    • Quick exclude ticks the places most often left out. They and the search field are one list, not two settings that can disagree.
    • Addresses to keep it off takes paths with a * wildcard, so a whole section can be excluded without naming every page in it.
    • Who sees it limits by screen size, by whether a visitor is signed in, and by role — the role list is your own site's.
    • When gives it a window: dates, days of the week and hours, worked out against your site's clock.
    • Every list is built from your own site. A site without WooCommerce is never offered a rule about a checkout it does not have.
    • Your existing settings are carried across; nothing needs re-doing.
    • The documentation and knowledge base cover all of it.
    • The separate Devices and Audience settings have moved into Who sees it, where the rest of the question lives.
  15. 1.4.0
    • Where it shows is now ticks first, exceptions second. Tick the places, the kinds of content and the archives it belongs on — every list built from your own site, so a custom post type of yours is already there — then name the exceptions by searching for them.
    • "But never on these" always wins, and only offers what is inside your ticks, so an exception can never be a rule that does nothing. Named places like the basket and the checkout are always offered.
    • Your existing settings are carried across; nothing needs re-doing.
    • The documentation and knowledge base have been rewritten to match.
  16. 1.3.0
    • Where a thing shows is now chosen by name, not by ID. Pick pages, posts, products, categories, tags or a named place — the basket, the checkout, the shop, the front page, search results — and say either "everywhere except these" or "only these". An exclusion always wins.
    • The same vocabulary is used by every Traslatability plugin that asks the question, so you learn it once.
    • Your existing settings are carried across; nothing needs re-doing.
    • The seven fixed "keep it off" tick boxes and the box for page IDs are gone; anything they could say, the new rules say, and a great deal they could not.
    • An exclusion now also silences the in-page notices on the basket and checkout. "Never here" means never.
  17. 1.2.9
    • The shortcode chip in a list is drawn as one object again — it had become a line of text with a copy icon adrift after it — and copying now turns it the same soft green as everything else that has gone well, rather than outlining it in dark green.
  18. 1.2.8
    • The shortcode boxes are drawn properly now. WordPress paints every piece of inline code with its own grey background, which put a second box inside ours; a long shortcode was also cut off at the edge rather than wrapping, so you could not read the end of what you were about to copy.
  19. 1.2.7
    • Every dropdown now draws its own arrow. A native select is nearly invisible against our surface on macOS and sometimes has no arrow at all elsewhere, so a dropdown could read as a text box — and a text box invites typing rather than clicking.
    • A shortcode is copied by clicking it. It used to be text to select by hand, which is a small tax on the one thing you came to the screen for.
  20. 1.2.6
    • WordPress's own plugin details window now says what the plugin is, not only what changed in the last version.
  21. 1.2.5
    • Settings screens lay out in two columns again. The rule that puts panels side by side was in two other plugins and never in the shared stylesheet, so a screen written for two columns rendered as one long one.
  22. 1.2.4
    • A colour field is one row again — a swatch and its value. Every one of them was showing its hex box and a Clear button at all times, because a rule meant for the opened picker was overriding the one that keeps them shut, so a screen of colours read as twice as many controls as it had.
    • Each swatch shows its own colour value instead of all of them saying “Select Color”.
  23. 1.2.3
    • The colour picker is laid out properly once opened — the hex box and Clear sat hard against the swatch button and each other with no spacing at all.
    • The plugin mark in the section bar is versioned by file time, so a redrawn icon actually reaches you instead of the browser serving the one it cached first.
  24. 1.2.2
    • The plugin icon has lost the decorative braces that used to sit either side of the mark — on this one they ran straight through the bar. The mark is drawn larger in their place.
  25. 1.2.1
    • The section bar no longer scrolls sideways when the window is narrow, and no longer raises a stray scrollbar over itself.
    • The licence chip has gone from the bar — Licence is still a click away in the nav beside it.
    • The Placement panel now sits clear of the two columns above it instead of touching them.
  26. 1.2.0
    • The bar screen is built around its preview: the preview sticks to the top of the page and the template and colours sit side by side beneath it, so choosing a colour and seeing what it did is one glance instead of a scroll up and back.
    • Wording: the token list is now a row of chips that drop the token straight into the message you are editing, and the five messages sit three abreast.
    • "Milestone segments" appears only when the Milestones template is chosen — no other template draws segments.
    • "Threshold" is greyed rather than silently ignored unless you have chosen to type an amount.
  27. 1.1.0
    • The bar no longer hides behind the WordPress admin bar when you are signed in.
    • New: follow the screen. Choose whether the bar scrolls away with the page, sticks to the top as the shopper scrolls, or floats over the page.
    • The Threshold box is now disabled unless you have chosen to type your own amount, so it is clear which setting is in charge.
  28. 1.0.9
    • Tidier preview: dropped the caption and the state buttons, which only changed the preview and read like settings that were not saving.
  29. 1.0.8
    • Choose your icon. The on/off switch is now a dropdown: follow the shopper's progress (basket → van → tick), pick one icon and keep it, or turn it off.
    • The "keep it off" page rules sit several to a row instead of one per line, so the Display screen no longer runs on.
    • Switches line up with the fields beside them across Placement and Behaviour, rather than floating in empty space.
  30. 1.0.7
    • Tidier Placement section: the delivery icon switch now lines up with the field beside it instead of floating in empty space.
  31. 1.0.6
    • Clearer section bar: larger, darker labels and icons, and it now stays in place instead of following the page as you scroll.
    • Summary tables read as two columns again rather than stacking each value under its label.
  32. 1.0.5
    • Bigger, clearer admin type throughout, and larger controls to match — easier on the eyes on a long settings page.
  33. 1.0.4
    • Easier on the eyes: slightly larger text, clearer colours and bigger buttons throughout the admin. Shorter plugin name in the menu and plugin list.
  34. 1.0.3
    • Simpler setup. The free delivery goal and the on/off switch now lead, on a single Setup screen — they are what you need first, and they used to be spread across two tabs.
    • Wording moved in alongside the design on The bar, so you can see the preview while you write it. Four screens are now three.
  35. 1.0.2
    • A bar a shopper has closed no longer flashes on screen before disappearing, and pausing the bar now stops it everywhere. The licence reminder now sits at the top of the screen instead of halfway down some WooCommerce pages.
  36. 1.0.1
    • The bar now lines up with your theme's own content width, so its message starts level with your site title instead of floating in from the edge.
    • On every template the message fills the row and the progress sits on the right, rather than bunching on the left.
    • An empty basket shows a basket icon; the van is for when one is on its way.
    • Shorter admin menu label, so it no longer wraps onto three lines.
    • The licence screen is now translated in Spanish and French too.
  37. 1.0.0
    • First release. Shows shoppers how close their basket is to free delivery, so more of them add one more thing.
    • Reads the threshold from your own WooCommerce free shipping method, and measures the basket the way WooCommerce does — the bar and the checkout can never disagree.
    • Eight designs: classic, centred, edge line, floating pill, card, gradient, milestones and a delivery van that drives along the track.
    • Your colours and font, with a live preview that is a real bar rather than a picture.
    • Updates the instant the basket changes, on both the classic cart and the block cart and checkout.
    • In-page reminders on the basket, checkout, product page and basket dropdown, plus a shortcode.
    • Built to be usable by everyone: a live region for screen readers, a real progress bar, a keyboard-operable dismiss, and animation that respects "reduce motion".
    • Works on WordPress Multisite, per site or network-wide.
