## Description

KC Donate Box adds a lightweight donate/support panel after your posts:

 * Custom title & message
 * Repeatable custom links (e.g., Buy me a coffee, PayPal)
 * Multiple crypto wallets with QR (uploaded image or auto-generated)
 * Copy-to-clipboard button
 * Shortcode: [kcdobo_donate_box]
 * Reset to defaults, and JSON export/import
 * No tracking. No external calls unless you choose “Auto” QR (uses api.qrserver.
   com)

### External Services

This plugin can optionally generate QR images via an external API when the “QR mode”
is set to “Auto”.
 In that case, the plugin sends the wallet URI (e.g., “bitcoin:”,“
ethereum:”) to the external service to get a QR image.

Service: GOQR – QR code API (api.qrserver.com)
 – Purpose: Generating QR images 
for the configured wallet URIs. – Data sent: Only the wallet URI (as the `data` 
parameter) and the requested QR size. No personal data is sent by the plugin. – 
When: On front-end render (when the donate box is visible) and only for entries 
where QR Mode = “Auto”. – Terms of Service: https://goqr.me/legal/tos-api.html –
Privacy Policy: https://goqr.me/privacy-safety-security/ – API docs: https://goqr.
me/api/doc/create-qr-code/

If you prefer not to contact external services, set “QR mode” to “Upload” (use a
locally uploaded QR image) or “None”.

## Changelog

#### 1.6.4

 * Prefix/Namespacing: Consolidated all shortcodes, option names, and admin/front
   CSS/JS selectors to the longer `kcdobo` scheme; removed remaining `kc_` traces.
 * Asset Enqueue: Admin/front assets are loaded only via `wp_enqueue_*`. Inline `
   <script>` was removed; admin JS config is injected with `wp_add_inline_script(...,'
   before' )`.
 * Security: Nonce validation now applies `sanitize_text_field( wp_unslash( ... ))`
   before `wp_verify_nonce()`. Invalid requests fail safely.
 * Admin UI: Repeater buttons and row selectors (add/remove) use the new prefix 
   and delegated jQuery handlers.
 * Uninstall: Cleans options on single-site and per-site on multisite.
 * Docs: “External Services” section clarifies that only the optional “Auto” QR 
   mode calls api.qrserver.com.

#### 1.6.3

 * Security/Hardening: Nonce validation path updated – unslash + sanitize before
   verification.
 * Fix: Removed inline output; all admin/front assets are enqueued via wp_enqueue_*.
 * Fix: Settings sanitization – removing all rows now saves empty arrays instead
   of restoring defaults; when a section is not posted, previous values are kept.
 * Docs: Added “External Services” section (QR API: what/why/when/where + ToS/Privacy
   links). Clarified that “Auto” QR uses api.qrserver.com.
 * Dev: Switched to a longer internal prefix (kcdobo_). Removed legacy shortcodes
   and aliases.

#### 1.6.2

 * Fix: escape rows attribute in textarea (Plugin Check).

#### 1.6.1

 * Hardening: escape output everywhere; PHPCS/Plugin Check fixes.
 * Admin JS: safer template insertion (split/join).
 * Readme: short description + =5 tags; “Tested up to: 6.8”.

#### 1.6.0

 * Added uninstall.php (cleans options on delete; multisite-safe).
 * Moved front CSS/JS to `assets/` files (no inline JS).
 * Minor admin cosmetics via `assets/css/admin.css`.

#### 1.5.0

 * Public release without emoji picker.
 * Simplified crypto fields, copy button, auto/uploaded QR.

#### 1.4.1

 * Bugfix: PHP syntax in build_crypto_uri().

#### 1.4.0

 * (Internal) Emoji picker, repeatable links/cryptos, export/import, reset.
