Changelog - Trained FAQ Builder

Release notes by plugin track, synced with the plugin changelog.

Free Plugin

trainedpixels-faq-builder current version: 1.0.7

1.0.7 - February 19, 2026

Changed

  • Settings option key renamed from trained_faq_builder_pro_settings to trained_faq_builder_settings; existing settings are automatically migrated on first activation after upgrade
  • Plugin header description updated to remove references to PRO-only features (Gutenberg, Elementor)
  • Documentation: toggle mode shortcode attribute now correctly labeled as a PRO feature

1.0.6 - February 18, 2026

Changed

  • Moved all PRO features (Gutenberg block, Elementor widget, analytics, WooCommerce, license) into a standalone premium addon; the free plugin no longer contains any license-gated code
  • Free plugin identity fully corrected: plugin name, text domain (trainedpixels-faq-builder), PHP constants, and REST API namespace now consistently reflect the free version
  • Build pipeline updated: PRO addon webpack entries now built via pro/webpack.config.js and output to pro/build/; free plugin webpack outputs settings and manager only; lite zip excludes all PRO build artifacts

Fixed
