Changeloger is the WordPress changelog plugin for publishing release notes, collecting feature requests, and sharing a public product roadmap — all from one plugin.

If you ship a plugin, theme, SaaS app or any product that gets updated, your users keep asking the same three questions: what changed?, what’s coming next?, and will you build the thing I asked for? Changeloger answers all three. Publish a version history your users can actually read, let them submit and vote on feature requests, and show a public roadmap of what you are building — without writing a line of code.

What you can build with Changeloger

  • A changelog page for your WordPress plugin or theme – publish a clean, versioned changelog page on your own site instead of a plain text file.
  • A release notes page for your SaaS or app – announce product updates with version numbers, dates and colour-coded tags (New, Fixed, Updated, Improved).
  • A public product roadmap – show what is planned, in progress and shipped on a Kanban-style roadmap board.
  • A feature request board – let users submit ideas, upvote feature requests and track their status.
  • A “What’s New” page – keep customers informed about every product update without sending a newsletter.
  • A version history archive – organise years of updates into a searchable, filterable timeline.

External services

Spider Themes Helpdesk (support assistant)

Changeloger admin pages show a chat button that opens the Changeloger documentation assistant hosted on the Spider Themes helpdesk (helpdesk.spiderthemes.net), so you can search the docs and ask questions without leaving WordPress.

Nothing is loaded from the helpdesk until you press the chat button. Hovering over the button only opens a network connection to the helpdesk so the chat loads faster; no data is sent. When you open it, the assistant is loaded in an iframe from https://helpdesk.spiderthemes.net/iframe-assistant/, and your browser sends the product name (“changeloger”) and the documentation section to show. If you opted in through the Freemius opt-in screen and you are the administrator who opted in, your name and email address are also sent so the support chat is pre-filled. Messages you type in the chat are sent to the helpdesk to be answered.

You can turn the assistant off under Changeloger Settings General Hide Support Chat (or with add_filter( 'changeloger_support_assistant_enabled', '__return_false' );).

Freemius

Changeloger uses the Freemius SDK for licensing, updates of the Pro version and the optional usage-data opt-in. Data is only shared with Freemius if you opt in or activate a license; you can skip the opt-in and the plugin still works.
