# Square Thumbnails - Version 2.1.1 Changelog

## Release Date: January 15, 2024

### Critical Fix
- Fixed permission check that was blocking access to `/wp-admin/profile.php` and other admin areas for users without `manage_options` capability (Authors, Contributors, Editors)
- Permission check now only applies to the Square Thumbnails settings page, as intended

### New Features
- Added small image handling options to prevent WooCommerce display issues
- Added Minimum Image Size setting (default: 200 pixels)
- Added Small Image Action options:
  - Skip processing (keep original)
  - Process anyway (centered on canvas)
  - Show error message
- These options prevent the issue where products with small images wouldn't display at all in WooCommerce

### Bug Fixes
- Fixed issue where images smaller than 200×200 pixels could cause products to not display in WooCommerce
- Improved error handling for small images
- Added debug logging for small image processing

### Settings Page Improvements
- Added new "Small Image Handling" section with configurable options
- Updated UI to match modern WordPress design patterns
- Improved visual consistency and user experience

### Security
- Maintained proper access control for plugin settings page (administrators only)
- Settings page remains protected while allowing proper access to other admin areas

### Technical Improvements
- Enhanced error handling and logging
- Better compatibility with WooCommerce product displays
- Improved image processing logic for edge cases
