8.0.4 (2025.10.27) – ASE Free and Pro

• [IMPROVED in Free and Pro] Utilities >> Multiple User Roles: the ‘Administrator’ role checkbox will now be disabled to prevent accidentally removing this role and cause the user to lose the admin role without an easy way to restore it. Props to Edward B. for prompting this improvement.

• [FIXED in Free and Pro] Disable Components >> Disable REST API:

  • ASE Free: fixed an issue whre The Events Calendar ajax-based navigation of the frontend calendar broke, because it’s REST API route is disabled. The route has been automatically excluded from being disabled, i.e. automatically whitelisted. Props to Michael D. for reporting the issue.
  • ASE Pro: fixed an issue with how excluded routes are not being properly handled and excluded due to a flawed logic in the code. Props to Eric C. for reporting the issue and suggesting a code fix for it, and props to Michael D. for reporting a related issue with excluding The Events Calendar routes not properly working.

• [IMPROVED in Pro] Utilities >> Form Builder: added feature to export and import forms. This is done via the ‘Settinsg’ tab. Once exported, on the target site, create a blank form and go to the ‘Settings’ tab to import the form. Props to Marcellus J. Hoang H., netcit, Bo M. and John E. for suggesting this improvement.
