BTC Checkout v2.1.2: WordPress.org Review Fixes and What Changed
Version 2.1.2 resolves every issue raised during WordPress.org plugin review. Here is exactly what changed, why it matters, and how to update.
What Is BTC Checkout v2.1.2?
BTC Checkout v2.1.2 is a compliance-focused release that resolves every issue raised during the WordPress.org plugin review process. No new features were added in this version. The entire release is dedicated to meeting WordPress.org coding standards, improving documentation transparency, and hardening the plugin for directory approval.
If you are already running BTC Checkout on your WooCommerce store, this update ensures your installation aligns with the same standards enforced by the official WordPress plugin directory. If you are evaluating BTC Checkout for the first time, v2.1.2 represents the cleanest, most thoroughly reviewed build to date.
Why This Release Exists
Every plugin submitted to WordPress.org goes through a manual review by the WordPress Plugin Review Team. Reviewers check for adherence to the [Plugin Developer Handbook](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/) guidelines, which cover everything from function naming conventions to how external API calls are disclosed to users.
The initial review of BTC Checkout flagged several areas that needed attention. None were security vulnerabilities or functional bugs. They were compliance issues — places where the code worked correctly but did not follow WordPress.org conventions precisely. Version 2.1.2 addresses every single item.
What Changed: The Full Breakdown
Standardized Naming Prefixes
WordPress requires that all plugin functions, classes, transients, and options use a unique prefix to prevent conflicts with other plugins. BTC Checkout previously used a mix of short prefixes like `cc_hb_` alongside the standard `btc_checkout_` prefix.
In v2.1.2, every transient key, function name, and JavaScript localization object now uses the `btc_checkout_` prefix consistently. The `uninstall.php` cleanup routine was updated to match, ensuring that deactivating the plugin removes all data cleanly.
Inline Scripts Moved to Enqueued Files
WordPress coding standards require that JavaScript be loaded through `wp_enqueue_script()` rather than printed inline in PHP templates. The admin settings page previously included a small inline `
