*** 9MAIL - WordPress Email Templates Designer Premium Changelog ***
2026.08.27 - version 1.2.1
- Fixed: Text shortcodes {user_email} were offered in the editor for password-reset and admin password-change emails but were not replaced when those emails were sent.
- Fixed: Shortcode picker for new-user, email-change, and privacy-request templates was missing keys the send path already supports ({user_email}, {admin_url}).
- Fixed: Columns and elements kept the pixel width they had on the canvas, so text was clipped on narrow screens; the mobile media query now releases those widths instead of rewriting them, which leaves the desktop layout untouched.
- Fixed: Desktop preview showed the stacked mobile layout when the template Responsive point (px) was close to its Content width; the preview frame now stays above the breakpoint and no longer shrinks to fit the modal.
- Fixed: Desktop preview iframe now uses the template Content width (Width px) instead of stretching to the modal.
- Fixed: Saving a template could overwrite the Content width with the measured canvas width; the configured value is kept.
- Fixed: Rows lost all padding on mobile because the padding cell also carried the reset class; padding now stays on the row and the reset class is opt-in.
- Fixed: Email body is fluid instead of locked to 600px, so the Content width setting applies and long text wraps instead of being clipped.
- Fixed: Mobile preview in the editor renders in a frame sized to the template Responsive point (px), so the email media query decides the layout instead of duplicated admin CSS.
2026.08.25 - version 1.2.0
- Added: Developer actions and filters for templates, rendering, and wp_mail; see docs/hooks.md.
- Updated: Reduce admin and email queries for Query Monitor (skip default-template check after first run, cache template lookup, cap post/block queries).
- Updated: Cache published template IDs by type (transient) to avoid meta_query on every wp_mail.
- Updated: Match email templates by user role instead of capabilities.
- Updated: Avoid reverse DNS lookups on comment emails unless the template uses {comment_author_domain}; use cached comment counts.
- Updated: Slimmer builder-rendered email HTML (fewer nested tables, compact header CSS, minify on preview).
- Fixed: Send test email from the template editor (Send to) was not calling wp_mail reliably.
- Updated: Clearer error when PHP mail() is not available (SMTP required).
- Fixed: Text blocks (e.g. Help Center) could render as garbled characters when sending because HTML was decoded as base64 and minify broke UTF-8.
- Fixed: Admin mobile preview aligned with WETC — use Responsive point (px) as max-width + admin CSS to stack columns / fluid content (no iframe).
- Fixed: Duplicate template action was not shown in the list; nonce and post-type checks on duplicate.
- Fixed: Cancelled admin emails could still be processed because of a wrong variable in wp_mail.
- Fixed: Button links in rendered emails now use URL escaping.
- Fixed: Clearing template meta on save; test/send attachments only from readable media files.
- Fixed: Post block include/exclude IDs are integers; thumbnail URLs escaped.
