3.0.0 settings

  • Since the update, there is nothing left in your WordPress dashboard to go to settings, see what posts/pages are timestamped and which are not, it’s like it’s completely gone in your dashboard, re-enabling the plugin gives you the button “change settings” in a pop-up of some sort, but not a single option in your dashboard? That’s insanely bad UI/UX.

    Hi both!

    Thanks for updating the plugin to the latest version and for your engagement regarding the new features. We really appreciate it! I’d like to elaborate on our decision why we moved the settings from the WordPress dashboard to the My WordProof platform.

    Before I continue: apologies from our side. Especially with such a big change, we should have communicated and implemented this change differently. We’ll try to do better in the future.

    The main reason why we decided to move the settings from the plugin to make WordProof more universal for different platforms. It is our mission to enable all websites to incorporate transparancy and accountability, and to this end we are working on plugins for different CMSes (such as Shopify and Drupal). By moving the settings to My WordProof, we created a universal and modular SDK that can be used for other CMSes, e-commerce platforms, partnerships – as well as websites built with custom software who have implemented the WordProof API.

    From a UI/UX perspective, I understand that this change is currently does not work well for WordPress websites. Because of your feedback, we just released a new update (3.0.1) which adds a WordProof page under the settings menu. From here, you will be able to open the settings modal (no new tab needed) where you will be logged in automatically. Thanks for your feedback!

    I’m eager to hear further feedback, so if you’d be willing to test the new settings modal, please let me know what you think. We genuinely believe this is the right way forward for us, helping us cover as many CMSes as possible with our small but dedicated team. We will publish a release post later this week where I will elaborate some more on why we moved the settings to a pop-up modal. I do apologise for this sudden and undocumented change, we’ll try to communicate better in the future.

    Thanks!
