Summary

  • Authorship: plugin header Author: Rob Howard, Author URI: https://howard.ai; @author / @link in all file docblocks.
  • Credits: the admin intro notice now reads "EveryAlt is a free, open-source project created by Rob Howard" (linking howard.ai), translated for all 7 locales (170/170); README footer updated.
  • Translation headers: copyright and Report-Msgid-Bugs-To updated; all info@hdc.net addresses removed. No HDC references or email addresses remain in the plugin.
  • New repo location: the update checker (everyalt.php) and README Releases link now use howarddc/everyalt-wordpress-plugin.

Why the updater URL matters

Installed sites check the URL hardcoded in everyalt.php. GitHub 301-redirects the old EveryAlt/everyalt-wordpress-plugin address (verified: /releases/latest → 200 after redirect), so earlier versions keep updating — but the redirect is permanently lost if anything is ever created at the old path. Shipping the new URL in 1.1.1 moves sites off the redirect. The empty EveryAlt org should be kept so nobody else can claim that name.

Testing

  • PHP lint clean; msgfmt --check clean for all locales
  • Old-address API redirect verified with curl

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

- Plugin header Author / Author URI and file docblocks (@author, @link)
  now credit Rob Howard, https://howard.ai.
- Admin intro notice credits Rob Howard (translated for all 7 locales);
  README footer updated.
- Translation headers: copyright and bug-report contact updated; the
  info@hdc.net addresses are removed.
- The repository moved from EveryAlt to howarddc: the update checker and
  README Releases link use the new address. GitHub redirects the old one
  for installs on earlier versions.
