Clean Login

Registro de cambios

1.17

• New: shortcode [clean-login-change-password] — dedicated password change form, ideal as the destination after a password reset link
• New: password strength meter in [clean-login-change-password] with four animated levels (Weak / Fair / Good / Strong), fully translatable
• New: customisable «Lost password?» link text via Settings → Clean Login
• Fixed: error message not showing after failed login — redirect now uses the configured login page URL directly instead of relying on the HTTP referer
• SEO: login and registration pages automatically marked noindex, nofollow (compatible with Yoast SEO, RankMath and AIOSEO)
• SEO: canonical URL tag added to prevent duplicate content from query parameters
• SEO: plugin pages excluded from the WordPress native sitemap (WordPress 5.5+)
• Code: missing exit() added after wp_safe_redirect() in the login handler, as required by WordPress
• Code: unused $atts parameter removed from shortcode callbacks that accept no attributes

1.16.3

• SEO: login, register, restore and change-password pages are now automatically marked as noindex, nofollow — compatible with WordPress native robots API, Yoast SEO and RankMath
• SEO: canonical URL tag added on plugin pages to prevent duplicate content caused by query parameters (?authentication=failed, ?nocache_login=..., etc.). Skipped automatically when Yoast, RankMath or AIOSEO are active
• SEO: plugin pages excluded from the WordPress native sitemap (WordPress 5.5+)

1.16.2

• Fixed: wrong-credentials error message not showing after a failed login. The redirect URL now uses the configured login page directly instead of relying on the HTTP referer, which could be absent or blocked. Added missing exit() after wp_safe_redirect() in the login handler, as required by WordPress
• New: customizable «Lost password?» link text via Settings → Clean Login → Lost password link text
• New: shortcode [clean-login-change-password] — dedicated form for changing password, ideal as destination after a password reset link. Shows only the two password fields without exposing name or email
• New: password strength meter in [clean-login-change-password] — animated bar with four levels (Weak / Fair / Good / Strong), fully translatable via .po/.mo files

1.16.1

• Documentation updated with upgrade notes for breaking changes introduced in 1.16

Upgrade notes for 1.16:

Mandatory nonces: Strict nonce verification (clean_login_wpnonce and cl_nonce) was added to login and password recovery. Anyone overriding login-form.php or restore-form.php in their theme will get broken submissions (?sent=failed) until they manually add these hidden inputs. There are no log messages that identify what has failed. On the reset password page it just says «An error has ocurred sending the email». Note there’s a typo on «occurred» too.

Hook changes: The note «Hooks renamed» is too generic. For example, changing the filter cl_login_form to clean_login_login_form silently breaks custom templates based on previous versions. Please list the specific changes.
