🚀 New Features

• Manual Page Control: Choose whether to let the plugin auto-generate a city page or create/unlink one manually. This means you can use an existing location page if you already have one made before using rank assassin.

• Hide Plugin Access: Plugin visibility can now be limited so only the right users see and use it.

• Better Documentation Page: The help and documentation section has been redesigned with a cleaner layout, modern styles, and easier navigation.

🔧 Improvements

• Cleaner Location Screen: Updated toggle logic, better scrollbar styles, and clearer button/help text.

• Duplicate Location Popup: Redesigned with icons, smoother animations, and a modern look.

• UI Enhancements: Wider settings panel, sticky action bars that stay in view, better spacing, and improved add-location popup.

🛡️ Security Improvements

• Stronger checks on who can access certain features.

• More secure handling of sensitive data across different parts of the plugin.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Improved connection handling so the plugin communicates more reliably with AI services.

• Better error messages when there’s an issue with API keys — styled alerts instead of browser popups, with clear explanations.

• Fixed issues where loaders or popups didn’t close properly after errors.

🔄 Behind the Scenes

• Cleaner, simpler code to make the plugin faster and more stable.

• More consistent handling of data across different features.

• Improved logging to make troubleshooting easier if something goes wrong.

👉 In short: This update makes it easier to copy shortcodes, gives you more control over city pages, improves documentation, tightens security, and delivers a smoother user experience across the plugin.
