Änderungsprotokoll
1.1.0
- Redirects now use
wp_safe_redirect()with a scopedallowed_redirect_hostsfilter, instead ofwp_redirect(). - Added a guard against redirecting to your own domain, which caused a redirect loop.
- Send no-cache headers so page caches and browsers do not retain the maintenance response.
- Removed a redundant administrator-role check that blocked multisite super admins without the administrator role on a subsite.
- Settings are now unslashed and validated more strictly before saving, and a registered default is declared for the option.
- Tested up to WordPress 7.1.
1.0
