Changelog

Every release, what changed, and what is being built right now.

1.2.3

August 13, 2026

Maintenance

A manual "Check for updates" link, so you never have to wait on WordPress to notice a new release.

A "Check for updates" link on the Plugins screen. WordPress only checks twice a day — this asks immediately and tells you the answer either way.

1.2.2

August 12, 2026

Licence keys, so updates arrive automatically and your purchase is tied to your site.

Licence activation — enter the key from your purchase email under Settings → Licence to unlock the plugin on this site.
A Deactivate button, so you can move your licence to another site yourself when changing domain or setting up staging.
A licence is now required to import. Posts you have already created are never affected — they are ordinary WordPress posts and stay exactly as they are.
The changelog shown inside WordPress displayed mangled dashes and broken list items.

1.2.1

August 12, 2026

The last release you have to install by hand — from here on, updates appear on your Plugins screen like any other plugin.

Automatic updates. DocxToWP Pro now checks for new versions itself, so updates install in one click from your WordPress dashboard.
Data Retention setting — decide whether deleting the plugin should also delete your data. Off by default.
Deleting the plugin wiped the activity log, bulk import history and every setting, with no warning and no way to opt out. Uninstalling now leaves your data alone unless you explicitly ask for it to go.
Each release used to install into its own folder, which is why updates could not be automatic. Releases now always unpack to the same place.

1.2.0

August 8, 2026

Import a whole content library today and publish it gradually — every document gets its own scheduled date.

Drip publishing — schedule imported documents automatically instead of publishing them all at once.
Pick the first publish date and time with a date picker.
Publish every X hours, days, weeks or months.
Restrict publishing to selected weekdays — weekends are excluded by default.
Override the date on any individual document. A date you set by hand is never overwritten when the schedule regenerates, and it does not consume a slot — the rest of the sequence closes up behind it.
All dates use your WordPress site timezone.
Scheduled posts published at the wrong time, off by the site’s UTC offset — a post set for 2:30 PM on an IST site went live at 8:00 PM. This affected the single-file Schedule option in 1.0 and 1.1, not just bulk imports.
Monthly schedules starting on the 31st no longer skip a month. 31 January now steps to 28 February and recovers to 31 March, rather than overflowing to 3 March.

1.1.0

August 7, 2026

Import up to 100 Word documents in one go, with shared settings, live progress, and a one-click undo.

Bulk import — drag in up to 100 .docx files and import them in a single run.
Review screen — edit every title, set featured images, and exclude documents before anything is created.
Shared settings applied across the batch: post type, status, author, categories and tags.
Featured image matching — drop chapter-01.jpg beside chapter-01.docx and it becomes that post’s featured image. Falls back to the first image inside the document, then to a default you pick.
SEO templates with {title}, {sitename}, {excerpt}, {filename}, {category} and {date} placeholders, plus per-document overrides.
Yoast and Rank Math focus keyphrase support, on both single and bulk imports.
Live progress with pause, resume and cancel. Close the tab mid-import and it picks up where it left off.
Per-file error isolation — one bad document fails its own row instead of stopping the run. Retry just the failures.
One-click undo moves every post an import created to the Trash.
Import history, with rollback available on past runs.
Duplicate handling: import anyway, skip, or update the existing post.
SEO title and meta description no longer cap what you can type. The counters stay as guidance, but nothing is truncated.
A malformed .docx could crash the import instead of falling back to recovery parsing.
Files renamed to .docx from another format are now rejected on upload rather than failing later.
