Summary by cubic

Release 2.6.2 adds WP Consent API integration with auto-synced consent categories shown as virtual vendors, a multilingual and customizable shortcode placeholder (incl. button text and hideable decoration), and a smoother plugin edit drawer. It also updates the signup link with UTM, bumps “Tested up to” to 6.9, fixes a PHP 8+ null pointer and a WP Consent API init bug, and improves French GTM event translations.

• New Features

  • WP Consent API: show 5 categories as virtual vendors and sync consent directly via wp_set_consent when the plugin is active (no GCM dependency).
  • Customizable shortcode placeholder with i18n via new meta fields and a migration (title, description, button text, hide decoration).
  • Admin UX: unified amber theme, transitions, and auto-scroll in the edit drawer.

• Dependencies

  • Bump webpack-dev-server to v5.2 and pin via resolutions to 5.2.1.
  • Update pbkdf2 to 3.1.3 and refresh lockfile.
