A note from Joy

This release focuses on stability, smarter media handling, and a smoother admin experience. It introduces automatic image resizing on upload to keep your media library lean and fast, improves license checks so they no longer interrupt your workflow, and hardens compatibility with Multisite and restricted environments. It also adds clearer guidance in the setup wizard and refines several settings data structures for better long-term reliability. Bricks Builder integrations, WooCommerce stock-based logic, and custom code handling all receive targeted fixes so key features behave more predictably across your site.

Full changelog

All 16 changes in v1.1.3, grouped by kind. Filter by kind, or search for a module or setting.

New features

2 changes
  • Media & Performance > Auto Image Resizing on Upload

    Large images are automatically resized as they are uploaded according to limits you configure in the Performance settings, helping reduce disk usage and speed up page loads without extra manual optimization steps.

  • Admin & Setup > Setup Wizard Guidance Notice

    The Quick Setup wizard now includes a clear, explanatory notice so you know exactly what it will configure before you run it, making first-time setup safer and more transparent.

Improvements

7 changes
  • Admin Interface & Editing Experience > Mobile Admin Usability

    Refined admin CSS rules so forms, buttons, and data tables remain readable and tappable on phones and small screens, making it easier to manage your site on the go.

  • Admin Interface & Editing Experience > Notice Styling & Feedback

    Polished notice styling and related UI elements to provide clearer, more consistent feedback when actions succeed or fail.

  • Admin Interface & Editing Experience > Post Type Settings Integrity

    Improved how post type-related settings and duplicable post types are stored and validated, aligning more closely with WordPress standards and reducing the risk of inconsistent or corrupted configuration data.

  • Admin Interface & Editing Experience > Menu Management Safety

    Ensured internal menu management variables are always handled as arrays, eliminating edge-case warnings and making the menu editor more resilient on complex admin setups.

  • License Management > Background License Validation

    License checks now run via non-blocking AJAX in the background, avoiding unnecessary page reloads and keeping the license page responsive while still keeping your license status up to date.

  • License Management > Reduced Disruptive Reloads

    Further refined the background validation flow so routine status refreshes feel seamless and do not interrupt your work in the admin area.

  • Security & Sessions > Auto-Logout Timer Reliability

    The auto-logout feature now uses a throttled activity timer to reduce browser overhead on busy pages, enforces maximum timeout limits consistently between the UI and backend, and improves warning behavior for shorter timeout values so users get predictable, timely prompts before being logged out.

Bug fixes

7 changes
  • Platform Stability & Compatibility > Multisite & Restricted Environments

    Resolved issues that could cause errors on Multisite or in restricted browser environments by tightening admin bar initialization, safely handling unavailable localStorage, and improving defensive checks throughout the admin interface.

  • Platform Stability & Compatibility > Last Login Migration Performance

    Deferred last login data migration to admin_init to prevent heavy work from running on the frontend and improve perceived performance during upgrades.

  • Bricks Builder Integrations > Slider Sync Reliability

    Improved how the Slider Sync feature loads and attaches its scripts so synced sliders behave consistently across pages and do not override your existing Bricks slider options.

  • Bricks Builder Integrations > Accurate Read More Length

    Updated the Read More logic to ignore HTML tags when counting characters so excerpts match the length you expect in Bricks elements.

  • WooCommerce & Dynamic Data > Variable Product Stock Totals

    Fixed stock calculations for variable products by summing stock across all variations so stock-based dynamic tags and visibility conditions reflect your actual inventory.

  • Admin Interface & Editing Experience > Custom Code Editor Stability

    Corrected CodeMirror editor initialization and unfiltered code handling so advanced CSS/JS snippets save and render reliably, especially for admins with unfiltered_html capability.

  • Downloads & URL Handling > Download Manager URL Parsing

    Improved URL parsing and validation for file uploads in the download manager, with clearer handling of invalid or malformed URLs to reduce confusing errors.
