Version bump, changelog and translation template for the 4.7.12 release.

Requires at least: 4.9.6 and Tested up to: 7.0 were already updated in #2357 and are unchanged here. Verified against the wp.org core API that current WordPress is 7.0.4, so 7.0 is valid.

Changelog wording

Deliberately generic, matching the 4.7.10 / 4.7.11 style. The underlying fixes are authorization and privacy related, and the specifics are not spelled out so that unpatched installs are not handed a roadmap.

POT

Regenerated with wp i18n make-pot . languages/buddpress-media.pot (note: there is no makepot task in the Gruntfile, so grunt makepot does not apply). It picked up the strings added by #2357:

• You do not have permission to submit a support request.
• user registration is not allowed
• Upload failed due to internal server error. (also corrects the previous Uploade failed… typo)

and dropped Thank you for your time., left over from the removed dead linkback / convert_videos handlers. The remaining line churn is source-reference renumbering.

Build assets

Ran the full production build (npx grunt build) on the .nvmrc-pinned node v20.18.1. It produced no file changes — the committed minified assets already match what the sources compile to, so no asset commit is included.

This was checked deliberately, because #2357 added AJAX nonce wiring to admin JavaScript and a rebuild would overwrite any edit that had been made only to a minified file. Every nonce marker present in admin.min.js, rtmedia-admin.min.js, importer.min.js and migration.min.js traces back to its source file, and the marker sets are identical before and after the rebuild.

Verification

Version string is consistent across index.php header, RTMEDIA_VERSION, readme.txt stable tag and the POT Project-Id-Version.

Admin AJAX behaviour re-checked at runtime against the rebuilt assets:

actor	nonce	result
subscriber	valid, own	blocked, option unchanged
administrator	valid	succeeds
administrator	invalid	blocked

Release date

The changelog is dated August 17, 2026. If the tag is pushed on a different day, this needs updating before tagging.

index.php:6

• The 4.7.12 package still inherits Plugin Name: rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress on line 3. PR #2357 explicitly removed the now-restricted “WordPress” term to clear Plugin Check's trademark warning, but a later commit accidentally restored it. Restore rtMedia for BuddyPress and bbPress and regenerate the POT files before tagging; otherwise this release contradicts its plugin-compliance changelog entry.

 * Version: 4.7.12

readme.txt:2

• The WordPress.org readme title on line 1 also restores the restricted rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress name that PR #2357 removed for Plugin Check compliance. Change it back to rtMedia for BuddyPress and bbPress in coordination with the plugin header and regenerated POT files before releasing.
