Version: 1.0.116 License: GNU General Public License v2 or later License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html Text Domain: swimbookerholidays Tags: fishing, carp, holidays, france, europe, booking, lakes, accommodation swimbooker Holidays WordPress Theme == Changelog == Theme developed by Mark Compton for swimbooker. v1.0.116 (2026-05-08) - Fix: Master iCal admin Refresh button now also clears and re-fetches the lake post transient for any lake whose swimbooker iCal field points to that entry's Master iCal URL. Previously, refreshing in the iCal Master Feeds page updated the source feed transients but the lakes dashboard and lake page still showed the old event count until the LiteSpeed cache expired or a manual purge was performed. v1.0.115 (2026-05-05) - Feature: Master iCal Normaliser. New inc/master-ical.php fetches a lake's swimbooker iCal feed plus up to 3 third-party iCal feeds (Airbnb, Booking.com, Pinpoint, Google Sheet etc.), normalises all third-party events to the lake's configured changeover day boundaries (arrive 13:00, depart 11:00), merges and deduplicates all events into one clean timeline, and outputs a valid .ics file at: /master-ical/[lake-slug]/ The Master iCal URL is pasted into the lake's swimbooker iCal field so the rest of the theme continues to work unchanged. - Feature: New third-party iCal URL fields (_lake_3p_url_1-3) and changeover day selector (_lake_changeover_day) added to the iCal meta box on each lake admin screen. Master iCal URL displayed with one-click copy button once third-party URLs are configured. - Feature: New admin submenu Lakes > iCal Master Feeds showing all lakes with third-party feeds configured, their feed status, and Master iCal URLs with copy buttons and View .ics links. - Feature: Hourly cron (francebooker_ical_refresh_all) extended to also refresh all third-party iCal URL transients. - Feature: Rewrite rule /master-ical/[slug]/ registered. Flush permalinks (Settings > Permalinks > Save) after installing. v1.0.114 (2026-05-01) - Improvement: Lake gallery expanded from 10 to 20 images. The first 10 images are used in the hero slider and lake card slider as before. All 20 images are displayed in the Gallery tab. Admin description text updated to reflect the new limits. v1.0.113 (2026-05-01) - Improvement: Active tab on lake page now shows gradient blue background with white text (matching site-wide button/header style) for clearer visibility, particularly on mobile when scrolling between sections. Previously the active tab was only indicated by a blue underline. v1.0.112 (2026-04-28) - Fix: Removed automatic-feed-links theme support to prevent WordPress generating RSS feed URLs for lake_category taxonomy terms (e.g. /lake-category/individual-anglers/feed/). These auto-generated URLs were being crawled by Google and flagged as validation failures in Search Console. The site does not use RSS feeds. v1.0.111 (2026-04-25) - Feature: Lakes with "Date Search Not Available" tick box now appear on the Last Minute Availability page with a neutral badge reading "Dates may be available — check lake page" instead of the green date-range badge. Uses a navy blue pill style (lm-badge--neutral) to distinguish from standard availability badges. Lakes are added to results with sort_date PHP_INT_MAX so they appear at the end of the Last Minute list after all dated results. v1.0.110 (2026-04-25) - Feature: "Date Search Not Available — Always Show in Results" tick box added to the Lake Details meta box (highlighted in amber when ticked). When ticked: the lake always appears in search results regardless of any date filter entered — identical behaviour to lakes with an External Booking URL (e.g. Exotic Fishing Thailand). The availability section (2026/2027 Availability box) is hidden from the lake page sidebar. All other existing logic is unchanged — Taking Bookings Until still displays if an iCal URL is set, the booking widget works normally, and the card overlay feature works independently as before. Meta key: _lake_no_date_search. Saves in francebooker_save_lake_meta(). Bypass added at top of francebooker_has_availability() in ical.php. Availability section condition updated in single-lake.php. v1.0.109 (2026-04-23) - Change: Rolling date window extended from 3 years to 4 years (current year + 3). Date inputs on all filter bars — homepage, /lakes/, category pages, and country pages — now cap at 31 December of current year + 3 instead of + 2. Voice search year clamping and "Dates searchable until" hint text updated to match. Allows anglers to search and book venues with calendars open to end of 2029. Updated in: functions.php (dateMax), front-page.php, archive-lake.php, taxonomy-lake_category.php. v1.0.108 (2026-04-23) - Fix: Lakes admin list columns now sit tightly to the left matching the mockup layout. Column widths tightened: Title 28%, Visibility 80px, iCal/Bookings 130px, Last Refreshed 100px, Open Until 80px, Date 14%. Date column width also constrained. iCal column content uses word-break to prevent long text forcing the column wider. v1.0.107 (2026-04-23) - Fix: Lakes admin list columns now sit correctly to the left. Title column was stretching to fill all available space and pushing the custom columns to the right. Title column now constrained to 22% width with !important to override WordPress default behaviour. All custom column widths also use !important for reliability. v1.0.106 (2026-04-23) - Feature: Lakes admin list column order updated. Visibility and iCal / Bookings columns now appear immediately after Title. Two new columns added after iCal / Bookings: "Last Refreshed" — shows how long ago the iCal feed was last fetched (e.g. "32 minutes ago"), with the full date/time on hover. Reads from a new fb_ical_fetched_at_ transient (primary) or fb_ical_url_fetched_ at_ transient (multi-lake). Shows "Not yet fetched" if no timestamp exists yet — use Refresh All iCal Feeds to populate. "Open Until" — shows the effective calendar open-until date in green (valid) or red (expired). Reads from iCal header when master toggle is enabled, falls back to manual date. Both primary and multi-lake venues supported. Shows "—" if no date is set. Timestamp transients stored with 2hr TTL (longer than feed cache so the refresh time persists even after the events cache expires). v1.0.105 (2026-04-23) - Fix: Multi-lake venues (e.g. Clay Lakes) now correctly respect the X-SWIMBOOKER-BOOKINGS-OPEN-UNTIL iCal header for date filtering. Previously the open-until check was bypassed entirely for venues with no primary iCal URL, allowing searches beyond the booking window to incorrectly return availability. fb_fetch_ical_by_url() now also caches the open-until date in a separate transient (fb_ical_url_open_until_{md5}). New helper fb_get_url_open_until() retrieves it. The multi-lake block in francebooker_has_availability() now reads open-until from the first multi-lake URL with a valid header, falling back to manual date. - Fix: "Taking bookings until..." line now displays correctly on multi-lake venue cards and lake pages. Previously fb_get_bookings_ open_until_display() only checked the primary iCal transient which is empty for multi-lake venues. Now falls back to checking each multi-lake URL's open-until transient before trying the manual date. After installing, use Refresh All iCal Feeds to populate the new open-until transients for multi-lake URLs. v1.0.104 (2026-04-22) - Feature: iCal / Bookings column added to lake admin list. Shows a green/amber/red status dot, number of slots loaded from the feed (including multi-lake feeds), and a per-lake "Refresh feed" link. Refresh link triggers a nonce-verified admin_init handler that clears and re-fetches all iCal feeds for that lake, then redirects back to the list with a success notice. Column width 160px. v1.0.103 (2026-04-22) - Cleanup: Removed dead overseas lake exclusion logic from partner cards. AP Crossings card now shows on all lakes including Thailand/overseas. Removed $is_overseas_lake variable declaration from single-lake.php desktop block and removed if(!$is_overseas_lake) conditional wrapper from template-parts/partner-cards.php. v1.0.102 (2026-04-22) - Fix: Account card "Create Free Account" button hover now uses a solid dark navy (#0e3352) instead of undefined --primary-dark variable which was causing the button to appear washed out on hover. - Feature: AP Crossings card now supports a background image. Set the image URL via Settings -> swimbooker Holidays Settings -> "AP Crossings Card Image URL". When an image is set, a dark gradient overlay is applied over it to keep the text legible. Falls back to the dark green gradient if no image is set. v1.0.101 (2026-04-22) - Fix: Partner cards now use two instances with CSS show/hide. .partner-cards--desktop sits inside lake-main (visible >=1025px only) filling the void alongside the sidebar as originally intended. .partner-cards--mobile sits after lake-content-wrap (visible <=1024px only) so booking box and availability show before the cards on mobile. Card markup extracted to template-parts/partner-cards.php to avoid duplication. Breakpoint: 1024px matches lake-content-wrap grid collapse. v1.0.100 (2026-04-22) - Fix: Partner cards moved outside lake-content-wrap entirely, sitting as a direct child of .container below the grid. Removes all need for CSS order tricks or grid-column spanning. Desktop shows tabs+sidebar in the grid as normal, with partner cards full-width below. Mobile shows tabs, then sidebar, then partner cards — correct on all screens. App+Plus cards sit in a 2-col sub-grid on desktop, single col on mobile. v1.0.99 (2026-04-22) - Fix: Partner cards moved to a third sibling div (lake-partner-cards) inside lake-content-wrap, after lake-sidebar. On desktop the div spans both grid columns so cards sit below the tabs+sidebar area. On mobile lake-content-wrap switches to flex column with lake-main order:1, lake-sidebar order:2 and lake-partner-cards order:3 — giving the correct sequence: tab content first, booking sidebar second, partner cards last. v1.0.98 (2026-04-22) - Fix: Partner cards correctly placed inside lake-main column so they fill the space alongside the sidebar on desktop as intended. On mobile (<=1024px) lake-content-wrap switches to flex column with lake-sidebar order:1 and lake-main order:2 so the booking box always appears before the partner cards. v1.0.97 (2026-04-22) - Fix: Partner cards moved from inside lake-main to a full-width section after lake-content-wrap closes. On mobile they now correctly appear below the booking sidebar rather than above it. - Fix: swimbooker App card now shows QR code only (via Google Charts API) with "Scan the QR code with your device camera" prompt, matching the swimbooker.com design. App Store/Google Play buttons removed. - Layout: Cards use a 2-column grid on desktop, single column on mobile. AP Crossings spans full width as a banner. v1.0.96 (2026-04-22) - Feature: Four partner/promotional cards added below the tab content on lake pages (lake-main column), filling the dynamic space alongside the sidebar on desktop. Cards stack full-width on mobile. 1. AP Crossings ferry card — dark styled banner linking to apcrossings.com/enquiry-form. Only shown on French/European lakes, hidden on overseas venues (Thailand etc). 2. swimbooker App card — features list with App Store and Google Play buttons plus QR code (hidden on mobile). 3. swimbooker+ card — primary blue card with 6 feature benefits and CTA linking to plus.swimbooker.com/sign-up. 4. swimbooker Angler Account card — compact card linking to swimbooker.com/user/signup. v1.0.95 (2026-04-22) - Fix: Country taxonomy pages (e.g. /country/france/) were falling back to a generic WordPress template, outputting raw unstyled lake content. Added taxonomy-lake_country.php which delegates to the existing taxonomy-lake_category.php — that template already handles lake_country in its $is_tax check. Country pages now display with full filter bar, lake cards, pagination and related category cluster. v1.0.94 (2026-04-21) - Fix: Form success/error scroll now correctly accounts for the sticky header height. Removed the #form-message URL fragment approach (which caused the browser to scroll past the message). Replaced with a JS DOMContentLoaded handler in each template that calculates the correct scroll position with header offset, matching the same pattern used for the search results scroll. v1.0.93 (2026-04-21) - UX: Contact form and List Your Lake form now scroll to the success or error message after submission. Both form redirects in functions.php now append a #form-message URL fragment, and both success/error divs in contact.php and list-your-lake.php now have id="form-message". Browser scrolls automatically on page load — no JS needed. v1.0.92 (2026-04-21) - Fix: Post-search scroll now targets the results count ("X lakes found") instead of the filter bar. Works correctly on all screen sizes including mobile where the filter bar fills the viewport. Removed device-specific tolerance logic — no longer needed with this approach. - Fix: Homepage now shows "X lakes found" result count after a search. Added resultCount element above the lakes grid in front-page.php so it appears and updates consistently with archive and category pages. v1.0.91 (2026-04-21) - Fix: Post-search scroll now works on mobile. The scroll tolerance was too tight (20px) — on mobile the stacked filter bar is much taller so the position check was passing incorrectly. Tolerance now set to 80px on mobile (<768px) and 20px on desktop. v1.0.90 (2026-04-21) - UX: After AJAX search/filter completes, page now smoothly scrolls so the filter bar sits just below the sticky header. Gives clear visual feedback that the search has run, preventing the static feeling when results update below the fold. Scroll only triggers if the page is not already at the correct position (avoids unnecessary movement). Applied to all filter bars — /lakes/, category pages, country pages and homepage. v1.0.89 (2026-04-20) - Fix: Facilities checkboxes updated. Removed: Keepnets Banned, CCTV Security, Photos Encouraged. Added: Food Package Available, Bait Fridge/Freezer, Airport Transfers Available. Updated in all three locations: admin checkbox grid, front-end display map, and JSON-LD schema amenities array. v1.0.88 (2026-04-20) Contact form: updated response time copy to 'as soon as possible, usually within one working day (Mon-Fri)' Contact form: added Phone Number field Contact form: added conditional Booking ID field when Booking Query selected Contact form: updated success message with Monday to Friday note List Your Lake: updated response time copy and subtitle List Your Lake: updated success message with Monday to Friday note functions.php: contact form handler now captures and emails phone + booking ID fields v1.0.87 (2026-04-20) - Fix: Last Minute Availability page now checks multi-lake pairs for venues with no primary iCal URL (e.g. Clay Lakes). Uses OR logic — lake appears if any sub-lake has a slot in the 6-week window. The card slot dates shown are the earliest available slot across all sub-lakes. Slot-finding logic extracted into a $find_lm_slot closure to avoid duplication between single and multi-lake paths. v1.0.86 (2026-04-20) - Fix: AJAX filter posts_per_page changed from 12 to -1. Previously only the first 12 lakes were checked for availability, causing valid lakes to be missing from search results entirely. - Fix: Pagination is now hidden on the /lakes/ page when a date or filter search is active (AJAX returns all matching results so pagination is misleading). Pagination is restored when the Reset Search button is clicked. This prevents page 2+ showing unfiltered results alongside AJAX-filtered page 1 results. v1.0.85 (2026-04-20) - Fix: Master iCal refresh success notice now correctly counts multi-lake venues. Previously only counted lakes with a primary _lake_ical_url, missing multi-lake-only venues entirely. Notice now shows lakes refreshed and total iCal feeds when they differ (e.g. "14 lakes refreshed across 16 iCal feeds"). v1.0.84 (2026-04-20) - Fix: francebooker_ical_refresh_all() no longer skips multi-lake URL transients for lakes that have no primary iCal URL set. Previously the early continue meant multi-lake-only venues (like Clay Lakes) were never included in the master Refresh All or hourly cron refresh. v1.0.83 (2026-04-20) - Fix: Multi-lake meta box now shows per-URL Refresh/Fetch/Try again links, matched to the single iCal refresh UX. Handled by a new admin_init hook for fb_refresh_ical_url with per-index nonce verification. - Fix: Single lake page now renders per-lake availability boxes for multi-lake venues (when no primary iCal URL is set). Each lake gets its own avail-box headed with the lake name, using identical three-tier logic to single-lake availability (Tier 1: current year, Tier 2: next year with notice, Tier 3: no availability message). Uses fb_fetch_ical_by_url() directly. v1.0.82 (2026-04-20) - Feature: Multi-Lake Venue support added. Venues with more than one bookable lake (e.g. Lake 1 & Lake 2) can register up to 3 lake name/iCal URL pairs in the swimbooker iCal Feed meta box. The lake card overlay dynamically shows which lakes have availability after a date search, or a default "N lakes available to book / Search dates above to check individual lake availability" message when browsing without dates. Availability uses OR logic — the lake card appears in search results if any one of its sub-lakes has a slot. If no sub-lakes have availability, the card is correctly excluded. The Refresh All iCal Feeds button also refreshes multi-lake URL transients. Functions added to inc/ical.php: fb_fetch_ical_by_url(), fb_url_has_availability(), fb_get_multi_lake_pairs(), fb_get_multi_lake_overlay(). Meta keys: _lake_multi_name_1/_lake_multi_url_1 ... _3. v1.0.81 (2026-04-20) - Fix: fb_ical_open_until_ transient now correctly cleared in two places in inc/ical.php: (1) when the iCal URL is changed or removed on save, alongside the existing fb_ical_ clear; (2) in the no-URL early return of francebooker_fetch_and_cache_ical(). Previously the stale open-until date persisted for up to 30 minutes after removing the iCal URL, causing the iCal date to continue showing on the card instead of the manual date. v1.0.80 (2026-04-20) - Fix: iCal open-until header now accepts both YYYYMMDD and YYYY-MM-DD date formats. The parser normalises dashes out on read so both formats produce identical internal storage. Resolves mismatch with swimbooker feed sending X-SWIMBOOKER-BOOKINGS-OPEN-UNTIL:2028-06-28 (dashed) rather than the originally spec'd YYYYMMDD format. v1.0.79 (2026-04-20) - Fix: Lake archive posts_per_page set to 9 (3x3 grid) via pre_get_posts. Previously falling back to WordPress default of 10. - Fix: Pagination page numbers now display horizontally. Added flex layout to .pagination ul.page-numbers and li to override default block stacking. v1.0.78 (2026-04-19) - Fix: Restored margin-top:auto on .card-footer so Last Minute Availability cards (which have no .card-lower wrapper) anchor the footer correctly. Regular lake cards continue to use .card-lower for pill/bookings alignment. v1.0.77 (2026-04-19) - Feature: Card Image Overlay Note added to lake admin (SEO & Schema box). Tick box enables a custom overlay on the card image — icon (emoji), title line, and optional sub-line. Reuses the existing card-direct-overlay style. Independent of External Booking URL; both can coexist. Meta keys: _lake_card_note_enabled, _lake_card_note_icon, _lake_card_note_title, _lake_card_note_sub. v1.0.76 (2026-04-19) - Fix: .card-features now has matching min-height and max-height so the "Taking bookings until..." line always sits at a consistent position across all lake cards regardless of pill count. - Fix: Voice search hint text — "Dates open until..." now appears on its own line (via
) in both archive-lake.php and front-page.php. v1.0.75 (2026-04-18) - Fix: Review structured data schema corrected on homepage testimonials. Added missing itemReviewed property (Organization: swimbooker Holidays) to each Review item — resolves Google Search Console critical issue "Missing field itemReviewed". Fixed author field from plain text to properly typed Person schema — resolves non-critical issue "Invalid object type for field author". Added bestRating meta to Rating schema. v1.0.74 (2026-04-17) - Feature: Browse Lakes page (/lakes/) SEO description field added. Set via Settings → swimbooker Holidays Settings → Browse Lakes Description. Displayed below the hero, above the filter bar, matching the style of category page descriptions. Supports multiple paragraphs. Leave blank to show nothing. Not displayed on individual category pages. v1.0.73 (2026-04-17) - Update: Brand name changed from "swimbookerHolidays" to "swimbooker Holidays" (with a space) throughout all visitor-facing and SEO output. Updated across 19 files: 109 replacements covering meta titles, descriptions, OG/schema tags, page text, email subjects, admin labels, footer, header alt text, README, and SETUP-NOTES. Internal PHP function names (francebooker_, fb_), class names, hooks, CSS classes, and theme folder name are unchanged. v1.0.72 (2026-04-17) - Feature: "Taking bookings until [date]" display added to lake page booking sidebar and lake cards. Uses the same priority logic as the availability filter: iCal header X-SWIMBOOKER-BOOKINGS-OPEN-UNTIL takes precedence when master toggle is ON, falls back to manual _lake_calendar_open_until date field. Shows nothing if neither is set. New helper function fb_get_bookings_open_until_display() added to inc/ical.php. Date formatted as "31 December 2028". v1.0.69 (2026-04-15) - Fix: XML sitemap cleanup — users sitemap removed (exposed WordPress usernames; irrelevant to SEO). Standard WordPress blog categories taxonomy sitemap removed (not applicable to this site). - Config: /wp-sitemap added to LiteSpeed Cache URI excludes. v1.0.68 (2026-04-15) - Version bump only (replaces earlier session build). v1.0.67 (2026-04-15) - Version bump only (replaces earlier session build). v1.0.66 (2026-04-15) - Feature: Swimbooker account booking tip panel added above the "Check Availability & Book" button on every lake page. Informs anglers that booking with their account email automatically adds the booking to their Swimbooker profile. Lightbulb icon, muted mist background panel. v1.0.65 (2026-04-13) - Change: "List Your Lake" CTA button removed from header right-hand side — already present in the navigation menu, duplicate not needed. - Feature: "Fishing News & Tips" added to main navigation menu between About Us and Contact. Links to /fishing-news-tips/. v1.0.64 (2026-04-13) - Fix: Last Minute Availability page lake card facility pills now use the same logic as standard lake cards — specific ordered set of tackle_hire, showers_toilets, electric_points only. Previously showed first 3 facilities in random order from the stored array. v1.0.63 (2026-04-13) - Fix: Direct booking card overlay text repositioned to top-left. Gradient direction flipped to fade from top to transparent bottom. v1.0.62 (2026-04-13) - Fix: Direct booking card overlay redesigned — both badge and note now display as a single always-visible overlay covering the card image (gradient dark blue, text bottom-left). Overlay fades out on hover/touch so the image and gallery controls are fully accessible. Below-excerpt note removed — no longer needed. v1.0.61 (2026-04-13) - Feature: Direct booking lake card badge added — lakes with _lake_booking_url set show an "✈️ Book direct — no date filter" overlay badge on the card image (top-left, --primary-light blue, matches lm-badge position pattern). - Feature: Below-excerpt note added to direct booking lake cards — "ℹ️ Availability is not date-searchable — use the Check Availability & Book button on the lake page." shown in italic below the excerpt. - Both features driven by _lake_booking_url meta — no extra admin config needed. v1.0.60 (2026-04-13) - Change: Airport subtitle notes updated — both now read "International Airport" (HKT — International Airport / KBV — International Airport). v1.0.59 (2026-04-13) - Fix: Airport driving times order corrected — Phuket now listed first as closest airport (HKT — closest airport). Krabi note updated to KBV — regional airport. v1.0.58 (2026-04-13) - Feature: Airport driving times added for overseas lakes. If a lake has an External Booking URL set AND airport drive times populated, the Location tab shows "Approximate Driving Times from Airports" (Krabi, Phuket) instead of ferry port times. All standard lakes continue to show ferry port times. - Feature: _drive_krabi and _drive_phuket meta fields added to lake editor (Lake Details meta box, below ferry port times section). v1.0.57 (2026-04-13) - Fix: External Booking URL link now opens in the same tab (removed target="_blank") so the browser back button returns the visitor to the lake page as expected. v1.0.56 (2026-04-13) - Feature: External Booking URL field added to lake editor (SEO & Schema sidebar box). If populated, the Check Availability & Book button on that lake's page becomes an link to the URL (opens in new tab) instead of triggering the swimbooker widget. All other lakes unaffected. Designed for lakes with bespoke booking pages (e.g. Exotic Fishing Thailand). Field saved as _lake_booking_url. v1.0.55 (2026-04-13) - Change: "France" removed from Europe & Overseas homepage category card description — France is covered by all other categories. - Remove: "Cookie Policy" link removed from footer Help & Legal section — no longer required since custom cookie consent banner handles compliance. v1.0.54 (2026-04-13) - Change: "Europe & Overseas" category descriptions updated to reflect actual country list (Croatia, France, Italy, Portugal, Thailand). Homepage card desc, and seo_desc in archive-lake.php, single-lake.php, taxonomy-lake_category.php all updated. Long-form category intro text is set via WordPress admin (Lake Categories → Europe & Overseas → Description) — see SETUP-NOTES.txt. v1.0.53 (2026-04-13) - Change: "Rest of Europe" lake category renamed to "Europe & Overseas" across all theme files to accommodate overseas fisheries (e.g. Exotic Fishing Thailand). Display label updated in: header.php nav dropdown, front-page.php category cards, footer.php links, list-your-lake.php checkbox, archive-lake.php SEO desc, single-lake.php SEO desc, taxonomy-lake_category.php SEO desc, README.md. WordPress taxonomy slug (rest-of-europe) intentionally unchanged to preserve existing URLs and avoid permalink/database conflicts. v1.0.52 (2026-04-13) - Feature: Custom GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner added — no third-party dependency (replaces CookieYes / Cookiebot). Banner matches theme design (Gilroy font, --primary blue palette, --radius-lg card style). - Feature: Three consent categories: Necessary (always on), Analytics, Marketing. Consent stored in first-party cookie sbh_cookie_consent (JSON, 365-day expiry). - Feature: GA4 Consent Mode v2 initialisation block injected at top of via sbh_gtag_consent_init(). Defaults analytics_storage to denied until visitor consents. Compatible with Google Site Kit and WPCode GA snippets. - Feature: sbh_analytics_allowed() PHP helper — returns true only if visitor cookie confirms analytics consent. Use to gate any server-side GA enqueue. - Feature: "Cookie Settings" link added to footer-bottom links bar. Reopens banner in Customise view pre-populated with saved preferences. - Remove: Old full-width cookie banner (footer.php HTML, style.css .cookie-banner block, main.js initCookieBanner function and fb_cookie_consent helpers) removed. Replaced entirely by the new sbh-cookie-consent system. - Style: Cookie consent CSS block appended to style.css (no separate file). v1.0.51 (2026-04-12) - Fix: Blog category archive pages (/category/fishing-tips/ etc.) were falling back to index.php and displaying posts unstyled one after another. Added category.php template using the same blog card grid layout as home.php. Category filter pills highlight the active category. Pagination and Browse Lakes CTA included. v1.0.50 (2026-04-12) - Feature: Blog post SEO meta box added to post editor sidebar. Custom Meta Title and Meta Description fields per post, identical pattern to the lake SEO box. Custom fields take priority; if left blank the theme auto-generates: title from post title + site name, description from post excerpt or first 30 words of content. Saves as _post_meta_title and _post_meta_desc post meta. Green confirmation shown when custom fields are set. SEO output in functions.php updated to read custom fields first, falling back to auto-generation — og:type, og:image, canonical, and JSON-LD Article schema all fully wired up. v1.0.49 (2026-04-12) Used when a static page is set as the Posts page in Settings -> Reading. Displays a page hero, category filter pills, a responsive card grid (post image, category badge, date, read time, excerpt, Read Article button), pagination, and a Browse Lakes CTA strip. Falls back gracefully if no featured image is set on a post. - Feature: Single post template (single.php). Full-width featured image hero with overlay and title. Breadcrumb navigation. Two-column layout with article content and sidebar (Back to News, Browse Lakes CTA, Categories widget). Rich article typography (h2/h3 styles, lists, links). Previous/Next post navigation. Related posts grid (same category, up to 3). Browse Lakes CTA strip. Fully responsive — collapses to single column on tablet and mobile. - Feature: Blog CSS added to style.css — card grid, category filter pills, image hover effects, sidebar, pagination, article typography, single post hero, breadcrumb, and post navigation. v1.0.48 (2026-04-12) - Update: Homepage angler reviews replaced with three real verified Trustpilot reviews (Laura, Ian Ramsbottom, Chris Collins). Each review attributed as "Verified Review via Trustpilot" with date. Chris Collins review lightly corrected for spelling (grate->great, useing->using) while preserving the authentic voice. Trustpilot credibility line added below section heading showing 4.8 star rating and 2,076 reviews, linking to Trustpilot profile. v1.0.47 (2026-04-12) - Fix: Mobile stats bar (.hero-stats-mobile) was appearing 6 times on the homepage — once in the correct position (below the hero section) and 5 duplicate times throughout the page after every section close. Root cause: the block was incorrectly inserted after every tag when added in v1.0.44. All 5 duplicates removed. Single instance retained in the correct position immediately below the hero section. v1.0.46 (2026-04-12) - Performance: Font Awesome CDN replaced with self-hosted SVG sprite. Previous: full Font Awesome 6.5.0 loaded from Cloudflare CDN — 288 KiB transfer, 900 ms render-blocking, two large woff2 files. New: 13 KiB SVG sprite containing only the 24 icons used by the theme, inlined in header.php (zero network requests). JS renderer in main.js replaces elements with inline references. CSS in style.css handles sizing and fill. Cloudflare DNS prefetch removed from wp_head. - Performance: Theme images converted from JPG to WebP format. hero-bg.jpg -> hero-bg.webp (CSS background, style.css updated) lake-placeholder.jpg -> lake-placeholder.webp (3 PHP files updated) lakes-hero.jpg -> lakes-hero.webp (archive-lake.php updated) og-default.jpg stays JPG (Facebook/social crawlers require JPG/PNG) swimbooker-logo.png stays PNG (transparency required) IMAGES-NEEDED.txt updated with WebP format guidance. - Performance: Preload hint added for hero-bg.webp on the homepage. emitted in wp_head (priority 0) when is_front_page() is true. Tells the browser to fetch the LCP image immediately rather than waiting for CSS parse. Addresses the "LCP request discovery" and "fetchpriority=high should be applied" warnings from PageSpeed Insights. - Update: Hero stat label changed from "Top Fish Weight" to "Big Fish Category" (already done in v1.0.45, noted here for completeness as this version supersedes v1.0.45). v1.0.45 (2026-04-12) - Feature: Homepage & About page stat figures now managed from Settings -> swimbooker Holidays Settings. Four fields added: Lakes Listed, Lake Categories, Countries, Big Fish Category. Values stored as WordPress options (fb_stat_lakes, fb_stat_categories, fb_stat_countries, fb_stat_bigfish) with helper functions. front-page.php hero stats bar and mobile stats block both updated to pull from helpers. about.php stats strip updated for Lake Categories and Biggest Fish Category. Remaining about.php stats (Instant, 100%, £0, 24/7) stay hardcoded as they are marketing claims not counted figures. - Update: Homepage hero stat label changed from "Top Fish Weight" to "Big Fish Category" to match the site category naming convention. - Fix: Settings page section separators now have increased top margin (24px instead of 8px) so each section has more breathing room and is easier to read. v1.0.44 (2026-04-12) - Feature: Homepage stats bar (50+ Lakes, 8 Categories, 6+ Countries, 60lb+ Top Fish Weight) now visible on mobile. On desktop/tablet the stats remain overlaid at the bottom of the hero image as before. On mobile the hero overlay version stays hidden (avoids covering the hero image), and a new .hero-stats-mobile block is rendered immediately below the hero section in the document flow, styled with the same primary background colour and matching typography. All 4 stats shown on mobile. 480px partial-hide rule removed (no longer needed). v1.0.43 (2026-04-12) - Feature: Primary Category picker added to lake editor (sidebar meta box). Select which category is used for SEO titles, OG/Facebook share tags, and JSON-LD breadcrumb schema. Defaults to first alphabetically if not set. Saves as _lake_primary_category post meta (term_id). Helper function fb_get_primary_cat() added to functions.php. SEO title generation and JSON-LD breadcrumb both updated to use it. - Feature: Referring category breadcrumb on lake pages. When a visitor clicks a lake card from a category page (e.g. Lake Exclusive), the URL gains ?from_cat=lake-exclusive. The lake page reads this, validates the slug against the lake's actual assigned categories (preventing spoofing), and shows that category in the hero breadcrumb for correct navigation context. Defaults to primary category when no from_cat param is present. SEO titles and OG tags are unaffected — they always use primary_cat. v1.0.42 (2026-04-11) - Update: Brand name capitalisation corrected throughout all theme files. "Swimbooker" and "swimbooker Holidays" in all visitor-facing output, admin labels, email subjects, SEO strings, changelog, and documentation updated to "swimbooker" and "swimbooker Holidays" to match the official lowercase brand name. PHP class identifiers (SwimbookerHolidays_ICS_Parser), WordPress @package tags, and internal file docblocks preserved unchanged as these are code identifiers not visible to visitors or users. 18 files updated, 186 display-text instances corrected. v1.0.41 (2026-04-11) - Fix: Parse error in functions.php line 773. An unescaped apostrophe in "this lake's booking calendar" inside a single-quoted PHP string caused a syntax error (E_PARSE) on every page load. Replaced with the HTML entity ' which renders correctly and is safe inside PHP strings. v1.0.40 (2026-04-11) - Fix: Critical error caused by unguarded define() in inc/ical.php. If WordPress loaded ical.php more than once (which can occur in certain admin or cron contexts), the bare define() call for FB_ICAL_OPEN_UNTIL_HEADER threw a fatal "Constant already defined" error. Wrapped in if ( ! defined(...) ) guard. Also replaced $open_until ?? '' with an explicit ternary for maximum PHP version compatibility. v1.0.39 (2026-04-11) - Fix: Second critical error — fb_show_no_ical_lakes() also called inside francebooker_has_availability() in inc/ical.php but defined later in functions.php. Same load-order issue as v1.0.38. Both helper functions that francebooker_has_availability() calls directly (fb_show_no_ical_lakes and fb_ical_open_until_enabled) are now defined in inc/ical.php itself, wrapped in function_exists() guards, before francebooker_has_availability(). Both duplicates removed from functions.php and replaced with comments. Rule established: any function called directly (not via a hook) from inc/ical.php must be defined in inc/ical.php, not functions.php. v1.0.38 (2026-04-11) - Fix: Critical error caused by fb_ical_open_until_enabled() being called in inc/ical.php before it was defined. Root cause: ical.php is loaded via require_once on line 14 of functions.php, so any function it calls must already exist at that point. fb_ical_open_until_enabled() was defined later in functions.php, causing a fatal "call to undefined function" error on every page load. Fixed by moving the function definition into inc/ical.php itself (wrapped in function_exists() guard), before francebooker_has_availability() which calls it. The duplicate definition in functions.php replaced with a comment. v1.0.37 (2026-04-11) - Fix: About page pillar cards (Verified Lakes, Real-Time Availability, Secure Instant Booking) and values cards now stack vertically on mobile. Previously used inline grid-template-columns:repeat(3,1fr) with no responsive breakpoint, causing all three cards to render side by side and overflow off screen on mobile. Replaced with CSS classes .about-pillar-grid and .about-values-grid with a max-width:767px breakpoint that switches both grids to a single column layout. v1.0.36 (2026-04-11) - Feature: Booking calendar period controls to prevent false availability being shown beyond a lake's actual booking window. CONSTANT: FB_ICAL_OPEN_UNTIL_HEADER defined in inc/ical.php as 'X-SWIMBOOKER-BOOKINGS-OPEN-UNTIL'. Update this one constant if swimbooker use different wording — no other changes needed. PER-LAKE FIELD: "Calendar Open Until" date picker added to the SEO & Schema meta box on each lake's edit screen. Set the last date the lake's booking calendar is open. Any date search extending beyond this date will exclude the lake from results. MASTER TOGGLE: "Use iCal Open-Until Header" added to Settings -> swimbooker Holidays Settings. When enabled: the iCal feed is checked for the FB_ICAL_OPEN_UNTIL_HEADER line first; if absent, falls back to the manual per-lake date. When disabled: manual date only. PRIORITY LOGIC in francebooker_has_availability(): Toggle ON + iCal header present -> use iCal header date Toggle ON + iCal header absent -> use manual per-lake date Toggle OFF + manual date set -> use manual per-lake date Neither set -> no restriction (existing behaviour) iCal parser updated to capture the open-until header (calendar-level, outside VEVENT blocks). Cached in a separate transient alongside events. v1.0.35 (2026-04-11) - Fix: About page three feature pillar cards (Verified Lakes, Real-Time Availability, Secure Instant Booking) now centred on screen. Switched from auto-fill grid to a fixed 3-column grid with max-width:900px and margin:0 auto so the group of three cards sits centrally rather than anchoring to the left of the container. v1.0.34 (2026-04-11) - Update: About page headline changed from "swimbooker's Window on French & European Fishing" to "The Home of swimbooker's French & European Lakes". v1.0.29 (2026-04-11) - Update: About Us page fully rewritten. Content now correctly positions swimbooker Holidays as built and operated by swimbooker to showcase French and European partner fisheries. Previous copy implied a third- party relationship rather than swimbooker's own platform. New page structure: Who We Are, Why swimbooker Holidays Exists (with three feature pillars), About swimbooker (mission/platform/Bite Conditions), Mission & Values grid (6 cards from swimbooker ethos), stats strip, and a Browse All Lakes CTA. All WordPress editor content still renders below if added via the page editor. v1.0.28 (2026-04-11) - Fix: Hero category pills hidden on mobile (<768px). On small screens, the pills were pushing the lake title upward and covering a large portion of the hero image — increasingly problematic as more categories are assigned to a lake. Wrapped the pills in a .hero-cat-pills span, hidden via CSS on mobile (display:none) and restored on tablet/desktop (display:contents so children render inline without adding a box). Categories remain fully accessible on mobile via the "Listed In" section further down the lake page. Location text is retained in the hero on all screen sizes. v1.0.27 (2026-04-11) - Feature: Lake page hero redesigned for desktop and tablet. On screens >= 768px (tablet + desktop): a full-width static hero image is shown using the lake's WordPress Featured Image. If no Featured Image is set, the first gallery image is used as a fallback. The image covers the full width at 500px height with background-size:cover and background-position:center so it always fills cleanly regardless of image orientation or crop. On mobile (< 768px): the existing gallery slider is retained unchanged — 1 image at a time, touch swipe, arrow buttons, auto-advance. The slider perView() function updated to always return 1 (was conditionally returning 2 on desktop — now redundant as slider is CSS-hidden on desktop). Hero slider buttons also hidden >= 768px via CSS. Setting the Featured Image: Appearance → Set Featured Image on the lake edit screen. Recommended: a wide landscape shot of the lake. Falls back to first gallery image automatically if not set. v1.0.26 (2026-04-10) - Update: Scrolling banner speed options revised. Added Very Slow (60s); removed Fast (15s). Options are now: Very Slow (60s), Slow (40s), Medium (25s). - Update: Scrolling banner text size options expanded from 3 to 6: Extra Small (0.7rem), Small (0.8rem), Medium (0.9rem), Large (1rem), Extra Large (1.15rem), XX Large (1.3rem). v1.0.25 (2026-04-10) - Fix: Scrolling banner message spacing improved. A wide 120px gap is now inserted between each repetition of the message, giving clear breathing room so the text is easy to read as it loops. Previously used a narrow bullet separator which made repetitions feel crowded. - Feature: Banner text size control added to Settings → swimbooker Holidays Settings. Three options: Small (0.75rem), Medium (0.875rem, default), Large (1rem). Applied via CSS custom property so the banner height adjusts automatically. v1.0.24 (2026-04-10) - Feature: Scrolling announcement banner. Controlled via Settings → swimbooker Holidays Settings. Options: Enable/Disable toggle, Message text field, optional Link URL (makes banner clickable), and Scroll Speed selector (Slow 40s / Medium 25s / Fast 15s). Banner appears at the top of every page above the top bar, in the site teal colour with white text. Message repeats seamlessly in a continuous loop. Pauses on hover for accessibility. When disabled, outputs nothing and has zero effect on page layout. Implemented in header.php with CSS keyframe animation; all settings stored as WordPress options. v1.0.23 (2026-04-10) - Fix: Excess white space below pill row on lake cards removed. Previous approach used min-height on .card-features to force 3 lines of space, which left a large gap when fewer pills were present. Replaced with a proper flex column layout: .lake-card and .card-body are now flex columns, .card-footer uses margin-top:auto to anchor to the bottom of the card, and .card-features has only max-height (3-line safety cap) with no min-height. Cards in the same grid row align by the tallest card naturally, with no artificial dead space in the pill area. v1.0.22 (2026-04-10) - Fix: Lake card pill row changed from 2-line to 3-line fixed height. min-height and max-height both set to 3 pill rows so cards with fewer pills always occupy the same vertical space, keeping the grid visually consistent. align-content: flex-start added so pills pack to the top of the reserved space rather than stretching. Pills beyond 3 lines are clipped cleanly via overflow: hidden. v1.0.21 (2026-04-10) - Update: Lake card feature pills rationalised. Pills now shown in a fixed defined order: Lake Size, Biggest Carp, Max Anglers, Swims, Tackle Hire, Showers & Toilets, Electric Points. Any pill with no data for that lake is omitted automatically. Previously showed random facilities from the full facilities list. CSS updated to enforce a two-line maximum on the pill row (overflow hidden) so all cards have a consistent height regardless of how many pills are populated. v1.0.20 (2026-04-10) - Feature: Weekly seed ordering applied to all lake card listings. Lakes on the homepage (featured 6), Browse Lakes archive, category pages, and AJAX filter results are now ordered by a weekly rotating seed derived from the ISO week number (date('YW')). The order changes automatically every Monday with no manual action needed, ensuring no lake owner perceives permanent favouritism from fixed ordering. The order is stable within a week (cache-friendly, no mid-session jumping). Implemented via fb_weekly_seed() and fb_seed_shuffle() helpers in functions.php. Homepage fetches all visible IDs, shuffles, then shows the first 6. Archive/category pages use pre_get_posts with post__in. AJAX filter shuffles the ID array before availability filtering. v1.0.19 (2026-04-08) - Feature: "Lakes Without iCal in Date Search" toggle added to Settings → swimbooker Holidays Settings. When enabled (default): lakes without an iCal URL are always included in date-filtered search results (previous hardcoded behaviour). When disabled: lakes without an iCal URL are excluded from any search that uses date filtering, while still appearing in non-date searches. Controlled by the fb_show_no_ical_lakes option; read in francebooker_has_availability() in inc/ical.php. v1.0.18 (2026-04-07) - Update: Facilities & Features checkboxes updated. Added: Showers & Toilets (showers_toilets), Electric Points (electric_points). Changed: "Boats Available" renamed to "Bait Boat Hire" (key unchanged: boats, so existing lakes with this facility ticked are unaffected). Removed: "Exclusive Hire Available" checkbox. All three changes applied consistently across the admin meta box, the francebooker_get_facilities() display map, and the JSON-LD schema facility_labels map. v1.0.17 (2026-03-30) - Feature: Three-tier availability display on individual lake pages. Tier 1 (current year has slots): heading shows current year, slots display as before, no extra notice. Tier 2 (current year empty, next year has slots): heading switches to next year, italic notice reads "No availability for YYYY — showing availability for YYYY+1.", next year slots displayed Jan–Dec. Tier 3 (neither year has slots): heading stays current year, message reads "No availability found — please browse our other lakes." with a link to the lakes archive. All years calculated server-side on every page load via $this_year = (int)date('Y') — rolls forward automatically on 1st January each year with no code changes required. v1.0.16 (2026-03-30) - Fix: Contact page "Send Us a Message" form now matches the full width of the List Your Lake form on mobile. Root cause: the contact page uses a two-column grid layout; on mobile when the grid collapses to a single column the grid cell was constraining the form width. Fixed by adding width:100% and box-sizing:border-box to .contact-form-wrap, wrapping the form column in a min-width:0 container to prevent grid blowout, and enforcing max-width:100% on the form within the mobile breakpoint. v1.0.15 (2026-03-29) - Cleanup: Removed debug console.log statements from visibility toggle JS now that the feature is confirmed working in production. v1.0.14 (2026-03-29) - Fix: Visibility toggle script was never outputting on the Lakes list screen. admin_footer passes no $hook argument (unlike admin_enqueue_scripts), so the $hook !== 'edit.php' guard was always true and the function returned immediately — meaning no
