New Features — Added “Post From Start Date” button next to the “Post Articles” button (Full API only). This allows site admins to retrieve old articles back to the start date listed in Article Display Settings.
Added “Post Version” column in the Article Display Settings table. It shows the current live version number from the API. If a newer version is available, it displays “Available” instead of a number.
Improved version number checking: the plugin now safely detects and replaces outdated articles with newer versions from the API. Shortcodes now properly handle both full category names and aliases for better compatibility.
Bug Fixes & Stability Improvements — Fixed critical fatal error on Free API sites (in_array(): Argument #2 must be of type array, string given). Fixed settings page crashing or showing as plain text (no layout) when the API returns partial or incomplete data. Made the settings page load reliably on both Free API and Full API sites.
Fixed saved category selection persistence (checkboxes now remember your last choices correctly).
Added safety handling so the plugin no longer breaks if the API response is missing expected fields.
