What Are Badges?

Badges are visual indicators displayed directly alongside the version number of your release. They function as classification tags, helping your audience quickly distinguish between different types of updates. Common examples include labels like “Major,” “Minor,” “Patch,” or “Beta.” Each badge can be customized with a unique color, ensuring consistent branding and improved readability across your changelog.

Managing Badges

To configure your release badges, follow these steps within your WordPress dashboard:

• Navigate to Changeloger > Settings > Releases.
• Scroll down to find the Badge Settings section.
• Use the Release Badges repeater to add new entries.
• Click Add Badge, provide a name (e.g., “Stable Release”), and select a color that fits your theme.
• Save your settings to apply these changes.

Assigning Badges to Releases

Once you have configured your custom badges, you can attach them to specific versions via the Release Builder:

• Go to Changeloger > Releases and create or edit a release.
• Locate the Badge dropdown menu in the release form.
• Select the appropriate badge from the list.
• Save the release to display the badge on your frontend changelog.

For convenience, Changeloger comes with several pre-configured badges:

• Major: Purple (#6366F1)
• Minor: Green (#22C55E)
• Patch: Orange (#F59E0B)
• Beta: Red (#EF4444)
