Summary

Addresses WP.org plugin review feedback on plugin name trademark issue.

  • New name: ACLabs Search for Google Custom Search
  • New slug to request: aclabs-search-for-google-custom-search (needs to be reserved by replying to the review email)
  • Follows the approved WP.org pattern: unique identifier first, third-party name at end after "for"

Changes

  • Plugin Name: header in gpse.php
  • Admin settings page title (ACLabs Search Settings) and menu label (ACLabs Search)
  • Admin page h1 and help text
  • Block title → Google Custom Search Results in block.json, index.js, index.test.js
  • All user-facing copy standardized to "Google Custom Search" / "Google Custom Search Engine" — removes the inconsistent GPSE/GCSE/Google CSE mix flagged by the reviewer
  • readme.txt and README.md updated throughout, 1.2.6 changelog entry updated

What was NOT changed

  • Internal PHP constants (GPSE_VERSION, GPSE_PATH, etc.) — renaming breaks nothing and avoids risk
  • PHP class names, option keys (wp_gpse_*), shortcode ([gpse_results]), text domain (gpse) — option keys especially must not change or existing installs lose their settings
  • Admin page slug (page=gpse) — low-risk to leave as-is

Next steps after merging

  1. Reply to WP.org review email requesting slug aclabs-search-for-google-custom-search
  2. Run npm run build to recompile block assets with updated title
  3. Run make build to package the zip
  4. Upload new zip via "Add your plugin" page

Addresses WP.org plugin review: name must not imply affiliation with
Google by leading with an acronym of their product name. New name
follows the approved pattern (unique identifier first, trademark at
end after "for").

- Update Plugin Name header, admin page title and menu label
- Rename block title to "Google Custom Search Results" in block.json,
  index.js, and index.test.js
- Standardize all user-facing copy to "Google Custom Search" /
  "Google Custom Search Engine" (removes inconsistent GPSE/GCSE/CSE mix)
- Update readme.txt and README.md throughout
- Add rename to 1.2.6 changelog entry
