Fixes #339.

Cause

InitOptions::maybe_track_logged_in_users() checked EnhancedMeasurements::PAGEVIEW_PROPS (Authors and categories) instead of LOGGED_IN_USER_STATUS. Provisioning also created the user_logged_in Custom Property as part of the Authors and categories properties. LOGGED_IN_USER_STATUS was only used on the settings page.

Changes

  • maybe_track_logged_in_users() now checks LOGGED_IN_USER_STATUS.
  • Provisioning::maybe_create_custom_properties() enables user_logged_in when Logged-in user status is on. Authors and categories keeps only author and category.
  • New Upgrades::upgrade_to_265() enables the Custom Property for sites that already have Logged-in user status on, so they don't have to save their settings first.
  • The logged-out value is now always no instead of _x( 'no', … ), for the same reason as Translated goal names break existing goals and revenue tracking after a language pack update #326 / Stop translating goal, event and funnel names #329: translating it split the value up per language (e.g. non on fr_FR). Logged-in visitors already get their (untranslated) role.

Behaviour change

Sites with only Authors and categories enabled no longer send user_logged_in. Sites in French (or another language that translated it) now send no instead of the translated value. Both are in the 2.6.5 changelog.

Tests

  • testTrackLoggedInUsers now also checks that Authors and categories doesn't trigger the property, and that the logged-out value stays no with a translation filter active. It fails on develop and passes with this change.
  • The rest of the suite is unchanged. The two AssetsTest errors I get locally also occur on a clean develop. PHP 7.4 syntax check passes.
  • The upgrade routine and provisioning call the Plugins API, so they're not covered (like the existing routines).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Logged-in user status tracking now follows the “Logged-in user status” setting, independently of pageview properties. Enabling pageview properties alone no longer affects this tracking.
    • Logged-out visitors are consistently reported as no, regardless of translation settings.
    • Existing installations are updated to apply the corrected tracking behavior when the logged-in user status setting is enabled.

The property (and its Custom Property) followed Authors and categories instead, so the Logged-in user status option had no effect. Its logged-out value is no longer translated, as that split it up per language. An upgrade routine enables the Custom Property for sites that already have Logged-in user status enabled.

Walkthrough

The user_logged_in property now follows the Logged-in user status setting. Logged-out visitors receive the literal value no. A 2.6.5 upgrade provisions the property when the setting is enabled.

Changes: Logged-in User Status

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tracking option and value
src/InitOptions.php, tests/TestCase.php, tests/integration/InitOptionsTest.php
Tracking checks the Logged-in user status setting. Tests verify that pageview properties alone do not enable user_logged_in and that translations do not change the logged-out value no.
Custom-property provisioning and upgrade
src/Admin/Provisioning.php, src/Admin/Upgrades.php, readme.txt
Provisioning adds user_logged_in when Logged-in user status is enabled. The 2.6.5 upgrade provisions the property for enabled sites and records the new version. The changelog documents both fixes.

Suggested reviewers: masteradhoc

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: Low · up to c888d

The change makes the Logged-in user status setting control the user_logged_in property and gives logged-out visitors a consistent no value. If the one-time 2.6.5 upgrade hits a temporary API failure, an existing site may not get the property until its settings are saved again. This is a small, recoverable gap and does not need to block the merge.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names a fix to the Logged-in user status option, which is the main change in the changeset. The changes make tracking depend on that option, provision user_logged_in under it, add an upgrade routine, and make the logged-out value a plain 'no'. The title does not mention the translation fix or the upgrade, but it covers the primary change and is specific enough for a reader scanning history.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #339 requires (1) Logged-in user status to control user_logged_in independently of Authors and categories, and (2) the logged-out value to be the same in every language. Confirmed in the whole-PR diff of src/InitOptions.php: maybe_track_logged_in_users() now checks EnhancedMeasurements::LOGGED_IN_USER_STATUS instead of PAGEVIEW_PROPS, and the logged-out value is the literal 'no' rather than _x( 'no', ... ). Confirmed at head in src/Admin/Provisioning.php: $custom_pageview_properties is now only 'author' and 'category', so user_logged_in is no longer tied to Authors and categories. Not directly verified: the body of maybe_create_custom_properties() (the part that adds user_logged_in when LOGGED_IN_USER_STATUS is on) was truncated in the read, and the Upgrades::upgrade_to_265() body was not read because the diff was unavailable. Those rest on the PR summary, which is consistent with the verified code. The test changes described in the PR were not read directly.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The verified changes serve #339: the LOGGED_IN_USER_STATUS check and the literal 'no' in src/InitOptions.php, and the removal of user_logged_in from the Authors and categories defaults in src/Admin/Provisioning.php. The described upgrade_to_265() (enables the property for existing sites with the setting on), the 2.6.5 changelog entry, and the test helper and test updates all support the same fix. No change unrelated to #339 is shown. Limit: the Upgrades.php, readme.txt, and test diffs were not read directly because the repository diff was unavailable, so this verdict relies on the PR summary for those files.

- Line 517: Update the upgrade flow that records plausible_analytics_version as
2.6.5 so failed property provisioning domains remain pending and are retried
before the migration is marked complete. Preserve the existing
provisioning-on-connect path for sites without a token.
- Around line 510-517: Update upgrade_to_265 to contain failures from
Provisioning::maybe_create_custom_properties so they do not emit an error
response or terminate the unrelated AJAX handler; ensure update_option still
runs when provisioning fails, while preserving the existing provisioning
behavior when it succeeds.

A failing API call sends a JSON error there, which would replace the response of the unrelated AJAX handler (e.g. the heartbeat) and keep the upgrade from completing.
