• On the analytics dashboard, use the date format from WordPress settings
• Translate day and month names (only relevant if using M, F, l or D in the date format string)
• WP CLI command to manually run aggregation now accepts an optional --force flag. Example: wp koko-analytics aggregate --force
• Don't show warning about WP Cron not working properly on sites on localhost, sites ending in .local and sites containing a port number

1.0.30

1.0.30 – Jun 1, 2022

Delete option koko_analytics_use_custom_endpoint on plugin uninstall.
Only load dashboard-widget.js if user has required capability for viewing stats.
Add constant KOKO_ANALYTICS_CUSTOM_ENDPOINT for [disabling the custom endpoint](https://github.com/ibericode/koko-analytics/blob/master/code-snippets/disable-custom-endpoint.php) entirely. This filter can also be used to [manually install the endpoint file to a different file location](https://github.com/ibericode/koko-analytics/blob/master/code-snippets/use-different-custom-endpoint.php).
Re-attempt installation of the custom endpoint file every hour. This also automatically re-tests whether the custom endpoint is still working as expected. The plugin already did this whenever you visited the dashboard page, but now it simply runs more often and without requiring you to log-in to your WordPress admin.
