      • This only impacts sites using plugins which locked a site behind a login-gate; i.e. plugins such as More Privacy Options.
      • Improved the logic to prevent incorrect redirects.
        * Stopped Dark Matter mapping domains if the site is archived or deleted.
      • It is worth noting that you may still need to `darkmatter_allow_logins` depending on your setup.
    • Ensured the 2.0.0 release notes in the readme.txt file to be accurate of all the changes.
    • Added the Network flag to the plugin header, so that Dark Matter can only be activated at the Network-level.

• Plugins updated
  • • ESIO Server 3.8.0
      • Improvements to the “Show related content?” checkbox for posts published before this plugin existed and posts saved by automated processes such as Prestige.
      • Known issues:
        • Unticking the checkbox before saving a new draft without a title results in a ticked checkbox, as untitled drafts do not get their post meta processed by WordPress (is my conclusion).
        • Posts published through automation for ESIO Server 3.7.x might correctly indicated a ticked checkbox status in the admin but not show related content because the logic in the theme is retrieving the actual value, which does not exist. Update the post to correct this. This is a historic issue that doesn’t affect newly automated posts.
