A couple of chnages and suggestions

    1. By default, if an editor is signed in, they can view the history page and see all changes made by all the users– including admins. This is not good.

    2. The navigation links at the top have a bit redundant naming conventions, e.g. Post/Post | Post/Page | Post/Custom-post-name etc. Can we have only the names of the CPTs without the Post/ prefix? Also CPTs that have names like “My Product” appear as “My-product” maybe it would be better to use a consistent singular_name or plural_name naming convention for CPTs to be displayed up there instead of the slug

    3. There is also Post/Nav_menu_item, that is not good to look at. Maybe just say Menu Item?

    4. Consider adding an option to selectively choose which post types, admin areas etc. to monitor for changes. E.g. I only want posts of type X, Y, Z to be monitored plus users and attachments, but don’t want to log plugin changes and the Settings page

    5. There is a small typo when you click the “generate a new address” link from the settings page, the message displayed afterwards says “Created new secret RSS adress”– notice the missing “d” letter ??

    6. When the admin UI is in RTL (e.g. Arabic) there is minor CSS mess– the <p> tag with the class simple-history-rss-feed-page is absolutely positioned to right:0px; you need to make it left:0px; when detecting the admin is in RTL

    7. Some texts in the plugin are not translatable

    8. Where can I send you my translation of this *awesome* plugin? (I added Arabic support)

    9. Thank you for this plugin!

    10. Consider adding those changes immediately in the next update! ??

    That’s good to hear. Awaiting the update.

    I just noticed that while I’m playing Mr. Grammar Man here correcting your typos and stuff, I myself, apparently, have made a typo in the title of my very own post ??

    …and I can’t edit that, arrrgh!

    Hello, P?r. I just came across the following:

    1. I had a custom post type and Simple History was logging all the changes in it just fine. I decided I no longer need that CPT and deleted it. The top navigation in the History page still shows that CPT and lists its history of changes. How can I remove it from there? It doesn’t make sense because that CPT is not used on my website anymore.

    2. Also if/when I delete a user who had a history log, their username appears to just be “hidden” from the navigation instead of removed. For example, if my user navigation links look like:

    By all users | mr-so-and-so | mr-hello | mr-wp-guy

    If I delete users mr-hello and mr-wp-guy the links look like:

    By all users | mr-so-and-so | |

    Can you please look into this? Also, any ETA for an updated version that includes the bug fixes and suggestions reported in the forums so far?

    Best

    Hey, P?r. Thanks for keeping on improving this plugin.

    I have noticed that newer versions of this plugin now has the navigation as a dropdown which is much better. However, the different post types are still named like: Post/Post, Post/Page, Post/Custom_post_type etc. aren’t you planning to streamlining this to only the name of the post/cpt?

    Thanks for your feedback Hassan. I will take a look at that username bug and also test to see if the post types can be written a bit nicer.

    Great to see the changes are made, some good suggestions also from Hassan.

    Thanks to both
