Snippet storage, insertion points, the editor screen and CSS/JavaScript/HTML rendering moved here from the free plugin, which can no longer include them — WordPress.org does not permit a directory-hosted plugin to save and run arbitrary code. PHP snippets, display conditions, scheduling, minification and import/export are unchanged * Changed: Existing snippets are picked up automatically. They stay in the same database table, which this plugin now creates and removes * Changed: The licence card no longer shows the "Modules in use" meter — the same figure is still available in the licence details dialog * Changed: Requires Smart Admin Assistant 2.4.0 or newer — update the free plugin first ### 1.7.0 — 2026-08-19 * Changed: Requires Smart Admin Assistant 2.3.0 or newer — update the free plugin first * Added: All premium features now ship in this add-on instead of being unlocked inside the free plugin — SEO, SMTP, redirects, code snippets, admin menu design, login page builder, 2FA, CAPTCHA, magic login, activity log, session monitor, cron manager, developer tools and server health * Added: Pro React admin bundle that plugs its tabs and pages into the free dashboard * Changed: License page moved to Smart Admin Assistant → License, and is reachable before a key is activated * Changed: Pro options, CAPTCHA fields and script handles renamed to a `bdtsaapro_` prefix (existing values migrate automatically) * Fixed: Deactivation now clears every scheduled event this plugin owns * Fixed: The media replacement screen no longer requests a stylesheet that does not exist * Changed: Uninstall now removes everything this add-on owns — its tables, options, post meta, crons and licence data ### 1.6.4 — 2026-08-11 * Fixed: All pro modules could be silently disabled on sites where the stored active-modules list was empty, despite a valid license and with no way to recover; an empty list is now repaired and all modules load again ### 1.6.3 — 2026-08-11 * Fixed: Admin menu items hidden with Menu Design stayed visible on every screen outside the plugin's own pages Full changelog: https://meteorgpl.com/packages/meteorgpl-plugin/smart-admin-assistant-pro/changelog ## Install ```sh composer config repositories.meteorgpl composer https://composer.meteorgpl.com composer require meteorgpl-plugin/smart-admin-assistant-pro ``` The repository needs a token (see https://meteorgpl.com/docs). The vendor's license checks are intact: activate the plugin in WordPress with a key bought from the vendor. ## Versions No version has been published yet.
