1.3.4

• Feature: Product tables are now mobile-responsive. On phones each row reflows into a labeled stacked card (default), or you can keep the classic horizontal-scroll table — selectable per table under Display → Layout on phones.
• Improvement: Stacked cards are the new default and apply to existing tables automatically — no table is left with cramped or cut-off columns on small screens.
• Improvement: Mobile cards now lead with the product name, followed by the add-to-cart controls and a full-width Add to bulk list button in place of the small checkbox, so every control is comfortable to tap.
• Improvement: Card controls now fill the width of the card on phones — the variation and grouped-product dropdowns, the quantity stepper, and the add-to-cart button share a single 44px height, and the stepper is now a − / field / + control sized for thumbs.
• Improvement: Grouped products keep their dropdown and quantity stepper on one row wherever there is room, stacking only on very narrow screens.
• Improvement: Every storefront control on phones now meets the 44px minimum touch target, and the taxonomy filter bar wraps instead of pushing the page sideways on narrow screens.
• Improvement: Bulk selection is now called the bulk list across the storefront and the table builder — the toggle, the View button, and the floating panel share the same wording, and the per-table option is now Bulk List Panel.
• Improvement: On phones the bulk actions now float in a rounded bar pinned to the bottom of the viewport as soon as a selection exists, keeping the bulk button, View, and Clear reachable however far you scroll — and the bar hides again once the list is empty.
• Improvement: The bulk list popup opens above that bar, fits within the screen, and scrolls internally instead of running off the edge, with a tinted header matching its footer.
• Improvement: Wide, many-column tables now get an automatic minimum width and an edge scroll hint so they scroll comfortably instead of squishing.
• Fix: The category and product type filters above a table now only offer values present in that table. They were previously built from every category and product type on the store, so a table scoped to one category still offered the whole catalog — and selecting any of those choices rendered an empty table.
• Fix: Tables with a draft or pending status are no longer labelled Private in the dashboard, the table builder, or the admin-only notice rendered in place of an unpublished table. Private means published but restricted to capable logged-in users; draft means not published at all — the notice now names the actual status.
• Dev: Added the productbay_bulk_list_text and productbay_bulk_list_added_text filters so the bulk-list toggle labels can be customized (available in Pro).
• Dev: Added the productbay_filter_options and productbay_filter_options_cache_ttl filters to adjust or re-cache the resolved filter choices.

1.3.3

• Fix: The cart icon (header count / mini-cart) and the add-to-cart button confirmation now update instantly when adding to cart, without a page refresh, on both classic themes (cart fragments) and block themes (the Mini-Cart block).
• Improvement: The in-table "added" badge now stays in sync when items are removed or reduced from the cart outside the table (mini-cart, Cart block, or classic cart widget).

1.3.2

• Feature: Added core support and hooks for customizable Add to Cart button text and "Select Options" button text (available in Pro).

1.3.1

• Compatibility: Verified and tested with WordPress 7.0.

1.3.0

• Feature: Introduced native Permalink Pages for product tables via productbay_table Custom Post Type.

• Feature: Introduced a comprehensive, file-based Activity Log system to track table management and system events.
• Feature: Decoupled cart functionality from AJAX to support native form submissions and improved compatibility.
• Dev: Optimized internal code architecture and registered productbay_table CPT with frontend support.

1.2.0

• Feature: Introduced Pro integration for premium features: Custom Field, Combined, Price Range Filter, and Variable & Grouped Products.

1.1.1

• Improvement: Block setup experience with "Create New Table" link in placeholders.
• Improvement: Removed misleading product counts from category multiselect filters.
• Improvement: Enhanced reliability of CSS injection into the Block Editor iframe.
• Fix: Isolated table event handlers to prevent cross-tab state interference (e.g. AJAX filter state).

1.1.0

• Feature: Native Gutenberg blocks for Product Table and Tabbed Product Tables with server-side rendering.
• Improvement: Filters bar repositioned above toolbar for better UX flow.
• Improvement: Admin menu (WooCommerce > Products) renamed from "All Tables" to "Product Tables" for clarity.
• Improvement: Added a "Manage" link to the plugin action links on the Plugins page for quicker access.
• Improvement: Hover highlight improvements across admin UI.
• Improvement: Shortcode display layout refined on the table management page.
