Well for this updated version of WP Project Manager, we can divide the updates & changes into three categories – code structure, modules and new pricing plans.
Updates & Changes in the Codebase & Structure
The first change that you will notice is the complete rewriting & restructuring of the WP Project Manager code. Before the code of both frontend and backend operation was in the same place. But now in the latest version, codes of both ends are made independent. It has been programmed with the progressive Javascript framework Vue.js and created using REST API.
In the previous version, all projects were as relatively slower Custom Post Type but now in this version, we have migrated into Custom Table for a better performance and way faster user experience of your WP Project Manager. As before, the system used to slow down after a while It now loads the page instantly saving your time giving you the ultimate project management experience.
Our sole intention was to rewrite and re-modify the complete code structure was to ensure efficient performance from WP Project Manager. And with this latest update, we believe we have succeeded to do so.
Recapping The Changes
- Completely rewritten the code using Vue.js
- Created with a totally REST API
