RoutineKit – Repeatable WordPress Workflow Checklists for Agencies

Changelog

1.0.6

• Fixed: a site disconnected from the RoutineKit Cloud dashboard now notices. Until this release it went on believing it was connected – the hourly sync failed silently every hour, the Cloud tab still showed Connected, and nothing said otherwise. The plugin now detects it, stops syncing, and explains what happened.
• Improved: your license key is kept when this happens. The license is still valid and still covers your team – only this site’s registration was withdrawn – so reconnecting is one click rather than a hunt for the key.
• Fixed: Sync now reported success when the connection was already dead. It now says what is actually wrong, and no longer suggests trying again when retrying cannot help.
• Changed: refreshed the RoutineKit logo and admin icons – the sidebar menu, admin bar and page header now carry the new mark.

1.0.5

• Security: credentials stored under short field names like pass or access_oauth2_refresh are now redacted before reaching Auto-Capture – previously only names built from a recognizable word plus a suffix (like stripe_secret_key) were caught, so a plugin that named its own password field just pass wrote it to the capture buffer in plain text.
• Improved: Auto-Capture now sees settings some plugins store in their own database tables instead of wp_options – Wordfence and similar plugins previously went unnoticed no matter what was changed.
• Improved: Auto-Capture now snapshots every option, not only the ones WordPress marks for autoloading. Some plugins store their entire configuration in a non-autoloaded option, which was invisible to captures before this.
• Fixed: activating a plugin no longer fills the capture queue with the defaults it seeds on install. Only genuine settings changes are offered as workflow steps now.
• Improved: the runner and toast notifications now sit above other plugins’ floating admin UI instead of being covered by it.
• Improved: the plugin download is around 200KB smaller – the screenshot library used for step evidence was being bundled twice.
• Improved: that screenshot library now loads only when you actually take a screenshot, rather than on every admin page.

1.0.4

• New: a short guide below the workflow table covering the two ways to use Start Workflow – working through a checklist, and building one as you go by adding steps from the runner while you make the changes.
• Improved: deleting a workflow now says whether it worked, and when it is refused it gives the reason rather than failing quietly.
• Improved: the workflow list opens on Active, so the workflows you are likely to run are in front of you. It falls back to All when nothing is active.
• Improved: workflows now carry a Pushed or Received badge with its own icon, replacing the single Cloud tag, so it is clear at a glance which ones you published and which arrived from another site. Both explain themselves on hover.
• Changed: a workflow assigned to this site from the cloud can no longer be deleted here. Withdrawing an assignment is the sending site’s to do, and a deleted copy only returned on the next check. Archive it to take it out of the way.
• Fixed: a workflow that had been run but never pushed could not be deleted. Your own workflows are now held back only once pushed, and the reason is given on hover.
• Fixed: stopping a run left the workflow list showing it as still running until the page was reloaded.

1.0.3

• New: choose where the launcher lives – a floating pill, an item in the admin bar, or hidden altogether. The admin bar option keeps RoutineKit to hand without anything sitting over the page.
• New: assigning a group asks whether to tag it only or to push straight away, so you can line up several groups before distributing.
• Improved: workflow table actions are now in a single ··· menu on each row, replacing the inline text links under the title.
• Improved: choosing to push a workflow to a group now says up front that doing so freezes its steps, rather than leaving it to the confirmation screen.
• Changed: a workflow freezes once you push it, so the checklist your peers hold always matches the one you kept. To revise it, use Duplicate to edit – the copy is a separate workflow you can edit and push on its own terms.
• Changed: toast notifications are off by default on new installs. Existing sites keep whatever they had set.
• Fixed: a captured step could be filed against a workflow already pushed to the cloud, adding steps to a checklist that was supposed to be frozen. The workflow picker no longer offers those workflows, and the server refuses them.
• Fixed: steps could not be added, edited, reordered or deleted on a pushed workflow even where the screen offered it – the change was rejected on save. Screens no longer offer an edit that would be refused.
• Fixed: pushing an edited workflow overwrote the copy held by sites that already had it, changing what they saw after the fact. Each set of steps is now kept as its own version, and a site only re-imports when a genuinely newer one arrives.

1.0.2

• Improved: captures now record which settings screen they came from.
• Security: sensitive option values – passwords, API keys, tokens and salts – are now redacted before they reach the Auto-Capture buffer. Values captured by earlier versions are overwritten automatically on upgrade.
• Fixed: background processes no longer trigger Auto-Capture. Cron jobs, WP-CLI commands, AJAX requests and page-builder saves are excluded, so captures reflect real settings changes only.
• Fixed: a settings save could write the same capture more than once.
• Security: removed an unused diagnostic that kept recent REST request and response data in a browser variable on admin screens.

1.0.1

• New: Paste a Checklist – paste a list from a Google Doc, Notion page or plain notes and it becomes a workflow. The first line is the title, every line after it becomes a step; bullets, numbering and [ ] checkboxes are stripped automatically. Available from Import Workflow, from the empty state, and once on first run.
• Changed: plan buttons on the Upgrade screen now open the pricing page at routinekit.dev while self-serve signup is being finished
• Fixed: a workflow whose steps are all optional no longer marks itself complete as soon as the first step is done
• Fixed: completing optional steps after the last required one no longer resends the completion email or re-pushes the run to RoutineKit Cloud
• Fixed: dismissing the “run is paused” notice in the Runner now sticks instead of reappearing on the next admin page
