VendBoard – Vendor Dashboard for WooCommerce

Changelog

1.1.1

• Fixed the product barcode being stored under two different meta keys. The WooCommerce product screen wrote _vendboard_barcode while the vendor dashboard saved and approved to _barcode, so a barcode entered by an administrator showed as blank on the vendor edit form, and a barcode approved from a vendor never appeared anywhere afterwards.
• All barcode reads and writes now use _vendboard_barcode, falling back to any existing _barcode value so nothing already saved is lost.
• Fixed products with an administrator-entered barcode being flagged for approval on every vendor save, even when nothing had changed.

1.1.0

• Security: fixed a broken access control issue where the product save endpoint did not verify that the submitted product belonged to the vendor’s assigned brand. A signed-in vendor could edit products outside their own brand. All vendors should update.
• Security: added nonce and capability checks to the branding preview endpoint, and a nonce to the onboarding dismissal endpoint.
• Added product search on the vendor dashboard, matching name, description, SKU and barcode.
• Added pagination to the vendor product list. Previously the list was capped at 50 products with no way to reach the rest.
• Vendors can now publish or unpublish their own products and set catalog visibility. These apply immediately; products never approved by an administrator still cannot be published by a vendor.
• Approving pending edits no longer republishes a product the vendor deliberately unpublished.
• Added five more color themes: teal, indigo, pink, orange and slate.
• Fixed missing slash removal on submitted text, which could accumulate backslashes in titles, SKUs and barcodes.
• Fixed a possible fatal error on the branding preview when an unrecognised theme was stored.
• Removed a debug log call from the image upload path and restored the site locale after vendor saves.

1.0.7

• Added stock management for vendors: vendors can now edit stock quantity and stock status for their own products from the frontend dashboard.
• Stock changes are applied immediately rather than queued for approval, so an approval can never roll the stock level back over orders placed in the meantime. All other fields still require admin approval.
• Vendor dashboard product list now shows the stock quantity next to the stock status.
• A stock-only save no longer sends the product to the admin review queue, since there is nothing left to approve.
• Added a purple option to the predefined color themes.
• Updated “Tested up to” for WordPress 7.1.

1.0.4

• Fixed product save issues where changes were not reflected in the list due to meta key mismatch.
• Standardized _vendboard_edited meta key across the plugin for consistent pending product tracking.
• Fixed brand assignment logic to support legacy meta keys (VendBoard_assigned_brand, vd_assigned_brand).
• Resolved “Access Denied” errors on the edit page by improving brand checking.
• Improved admin review workflow to properly clear pending flags on approval or rejection.
• Reverted decorative color changes to respect user branding settings.
