v4.26.6 is the product of a shortcode review session during YouTube stream preparation. Accumulated silent bugs in the rentiva_vehicles_grid and rentiva_featured_vehicles shortcodes have been resolved, and two new features — view_all_url and a service type badge — have been added.

🔧 Vehicles Grid: Price Sort Fix​

The sort_by="price" option had not been working correctly for some time. Root cause: the named meta_query clause approach used alongside the vehicle availability filter was generating incorrect SQL ordering.

Fix: Switched to WordPress's standard meta_key + meta_value_num pattern.

if ( $orderby_key === 'price' ) {
    $args['meta_key'] = MetaKeys::VEHICLE_PRICE_PER_DAY;
    $args['orderby']  = 'meta_value_num';
    $args['order']    = $sort_order;
}

Both ascending and descending sort were verified via WP-CLI.

⚡ Cache Logic Repaired​

Two silent cache bugs:

  1. Always disabled — The condition logic had an inverted check. Cache is now active in production.
  2. Cleared on every wp_head call — Invalidation now fires only when a vehicle is saved or deleted.

🧹 Orderby Injection Removed from 9 Blocks​

Nine Gutenberg blocks were silently overriding the sort_by attribute from the CAM pipeline with orderby=title, order=ASC defaults on every render. Those defaults have been removed.

✨ New: "View All" Link​

The view_all_url and view_all_text attributes have been added. Supported in the block editor, Elementor, and classic shortcode.

[rentiva_vehicles_grid view_all_url="/araclar/" view_all_text="Tüm Araçları Gör"]

Renders as a properly aligned button in the section footer.

🏷️ New: Service Type Badge​

Vehicle cards now display a badge based on the _rentiva_vehicle_service_type meta value:

  • Transfer Only — blue badge
  • Transfer + Rental — green badge
  • Standard rental vehicles show no badge.

🚫 Featured Vehicles: Init Flash Fixed​

Raw flex markup was visible before Swiper initialized (5 vehicles horizontal → 3-column slider). Fix: opacity:0 + CSS transition.

.mhm-featured-swiper {
    transition: opacity 0.2s ease;
}
.mhm-featured-swiper:not(.swiper-initialized) {
    opacity: 0;
    pointer-events: none;
}

Layout space is preserved (zero CLS); once Swiper is ready, it fades in with a 0.2s transition.

🔧 Other Fixes​

  • show_book_button dead attribute: Featured Vehicles and the Elementor widget were sending this key, but the template only checked show_booking_button. Both keys are now accepted.
  • Search Results default_sort: Now applied when no sort parameter is present in the URL.
  • Unified Search luggage tooltip: A hover/focus tooltip has been added for the luggage capacity field.
