Changelog as a Service – Publish, Display, and Communicate Beautiful Changelogs

You have three easy options: 1. Shortcode : Use [changelog_service id="123"] or [changelog_service slug="my-plugin"] anywhere on your site 2. Gutenberg Block : Search for “Changelog” in the block inserter and select your changelog 3. Automatic Display : If your changelog post type is public, it displays automatically on single changelog pages

Absolutely! Go to Changelogs > Settings > Badges to customize colors, labels, and emojis for each badge type. Choose from three badge styles (rounded, square, or pill) and position them left or inline. You can also create unlimited custom badge types with your own prefixes.

Yes! While the terminology focuses on plugins, it works perfectly for themes, any WordPress product, or even non-WordPress project changelogs. Just create a changelog post and use the shortcode or block wherever you need it.

Use the format “Prefix – Description” or “Prefix: Description” or “Prefix : Description”. For example: * Added - New feature (shows green “New” badge) * Fixed: Bug resolved (shows orange “Fixed” badge) * Improved - Performance boost (shows blue “Improved” badge)

See the Badge Format section below for all supported prefixes.

Yes! Use the [changelog_service] shortcode in any page builder that supports shortcodes. Most popular page builders have shortcode widgets or modules you can use.

Yes! Enable search and filtering in your shortcode: [changelog_service id="123" search="true" filter_badges="true"] . Users can search changelog content or filter by badge type (Added, Fixed, Improved, etc.). Results show version headers with matching items.

Yes! This changelog plugin provides REST API endpoints for changelog data: * GET /wp-json/changelogwp/v1/changelog/{slug} – Get single changelog * GET /wp-json/changelogwp/v1/changelogs – Get all changelogs with pagination

Perfect for automation, syndication, or integrating with external services.

Yes, on WordPress 6.9 or newer. The plugin adds four abilities that AI tools can use: list your changelogs, read one, add a new release to the top, and change a changelog’s text or details (version, tested up to, and so on). Connect your AI tool with the MCP Adapter plugin and an application password, and the agent gets the same permissions as the user it logs in as, so it can only change changelogs that user could edit in wp-admin.

Yes! If you have EDD Software Licensing active, you can display changelogs for your EDD products using the edd_id attribute: [changelog_service edd_id="456"] . This is perfect for premium plugin developers managing product changelogs.

Yes! It includes full accessibility support: * Keyboard navigation for all interactive elements * ARIA labels and roles for screen readers * Visible focus indicators * Semantic HTML structure * Screen reader text for icon-only buttons like copy links

Yes! Go to Changelogs > Settings > Badges and click “Add Badge” to create custom badge types with your own prefixes (like “Enhancement”, “Performance”, “Breaking”), colors, and emojis. No coding required.

Copy link buttons are always enabled and appear on hover next to each version number. Users can click to copy the URL with the version anchor, making it easy to share specific updates.

Use the signup shortcode parameter to add a “Get notified of updates” link that connects to ChangelogWP.com:

For WordPress.org plugins (auto-generates URL from plugin slug): [changelog_service plugin_slug=”woocommerce” signup=”true”]

For other sources (provide a custom URL): [changelog_service id=”123″ signup=”https://changelogwp.com/plugin/my-plugin/”]

You can also enable this globally in Changelogs > Settings > Display by checking “Signup Link”. When using the Gutenberg block, toggle “Show Signup Link” in the block settings—if using a WordPress.org plugin, the URL is auto-generated; otherwise, enter a custom URL.
