Ignition Crowdfunding v0.2.0

The second release of Ignition Crowdfunding brings a full-featured creator dashboard, campaign updates, and a searchable campaign archive — along with significant developer extensibility improvements.

New Features

• Creator Dashboard — Frontend dashboard where campaign creators can manage their campaigns, post updates, and track progress without ever accessing wp-admin. Includes a My Campaigns list with quick actions (Pause, Resume, End Early), a campaign detail view, and campaign updates management. Place it on any page with the Creator Dashboard block or [igcf_dashboard] shortcode.
• Campaign Updates — Creators can post, edit, and delete updates from the dashboard. Updates display publicly on the single campaign page with a count indicator. Administrators can moderate updates from wp-admin.
• Campaign archive search, filter, and sort — Visitors can search campaigns by keyword, filter by category, and sort by newest, ending soon, or most funded.
• Placeholder images — Campaigns without a featured image display a branded placeholder throughout the archive and dashboard.
• Date constraints — Campaign form validates start and end dates with both client-side and server-side enforcement.
• Creator restrictions — Campaign creators are confined to the frontend. Their media library is scoped to their own uploads and restricted to image files only.
• Permalink status check — Settings page displays permalink status with a one-click fix button when pretty permalinks are not enabled.

Enhancements

• Image insertion — The campaign form now uses a dedicated Insert Image button that opens the media library filtered to images only, replacing the generic Add Media button.
• Minimum requirements — Now requires PHP 8.2 and WordPress 6.7.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed broken image display when editing campaigns with inline images.
• Fixed media upload failing for creators on the frontend campaign form.

Developer

• New templates — 13 new overridable templates for dashboard views, campaign archive filters, and update display. See Template Overrides for the full list.
• New action hooks — 25+ hooks for campaign archive, single campaign, dashboard, and updates. See Actions Reference.
• New filter hooks — 25+ hooks for archive, dashboard, creator restrictions, and updates. See Filters Reference.
• New stylesheet handles — igcf-dashboard and igcf-update-list. See Stylesheet Overrides.
• New block — Creator Dashboard block with corresponding [igcf_dashboard] shortcode. See Blocks & Shortcodes.
