What’s New in v2.43.0?
Kadence AI Integration in Staging Site Wizard
We’ve integrated Kadence AI into our staging site setup process to help you create sites more efficiently. This tool aids in making data-driven decisions during the site design phase, enhancing both the aesthetics and functionality of your WordPress sites.
Multiple Domain Mapping for Staging Sites
Users can now map multiple domains to their staging sites. This feature is particularly useful for testing different domains in a controlled environment before going live, providing greater flexibility in managing site migrations and updates.
File System Permissions for InstaWP Live Sites
We’ve introduced file system permissions settings for InstaWP Live sites. This update allows you to manage access permissions more precisely, ensuring that sensitive areas of your site are protected while still allowing necessary operations to be performed by authorized users.
Label Support for Hosted and Connected Sites
To help you organize and identify your sites more easily, we’ve added label support for both hosted and connected sites. You can now tag your sites with custom labels, simplifying the process of managing multiple projects.
Enhanced Pagination Options
We have improved pagination in various tables, such as the hosted sites table, making it easier to navigate and manage large numbers of entries without performance lags.
Key Fixes
- Template Sync and PHP Value Issues: We’ve resolved an issue where syncing from a site to a template was not correctly syncing PHP values. This fix ensures that your templates maintain consistent settings across different deployments.
- BuddyBoss Plugin Compatibility: A fix has been implemented for the magic login issue with the BuddyBoss plugin, ensuring smoother integrations and login experiences.
- WaaS Admin Email Configuration: We have addressed a configuration issue related to WaaS (WordPress as a Service) admin emails, improving reliability and communication for WaaS users.
Improvements for Better Performance
- Staging Site Creation: The process for downloading plugins and themes during staging site creation is now faster and automated, reducing the time and effort required to set up a site. Additionally, we’ve implemented a more reliable staging creation process that includes retry logic with a backoff timer.
- Whitelabel Addon Purchase Process: The purchase process for the Whitelabel Addon has been streamlined, making it quicker and more intuitive for users to acquire and implement whitelabel solutions.
