Changelog

4.4

  • Added option to fill width on responsive images.
  • Added filter (hwim_load_backend) to allow backend to load on custom pages.
  • Fixed several issues concerning the theme customizer.

4.3

  • Added the rel-field including filter to alter its contents.
  • Made the widget fully support the theme customizer.

4.2

  • Added backend link.

4.1

  • Fixed notice on front-end when no image has been selected.

4.0

  • Added support for WordPress 4.0.
  • Replaced custom image selection view with WordPress default “image insert” view to add compatability with WordPress 4.0 while still retaining pre-WordPress 4.0 compatability. This introduces a “Gallery” insertion option in the view, but its ignored by the HW Image Widget if used.
  • Made sure JavaScript tags are stripped from the text preview area so they do not execute.
  • Widget now depends on SimpleXML PHP-extention (usually available on shared hosting) to strip JavaScript from previews.
  • Fixed issues with the HTML view of the TinyMCE editor.
  • Made sure TinyMCE editor opens up with a decent height.
  • Made sure TinyMCE editor opens up in visual mode.
  • Removed all cookie handling (cookies are no longer edited to set proper TinyMCE height for some buggy WP-versions).
  • Fixed issue that could cause height/width attributes for fixed sized images in admin change when multiple image widgets are used and a new image is selected.
