License White-Label from the WP Admin

One of the more exciting features we released with version 2.3.1 is the option to white-label a license when it's activated on a client's site:

This feature helps make your products more compelling for professional "builders," people who build websites for clients.

It's a fantastic capability, and we are getting lots of positive feedback on it. But many users are not aware of this option, which can lead to frustration and unnecessary support tickets.

To overcome that flaw in UX, we are excited to share that we brought that option right into the Account page in the WP Admin, where a builder most likely realizes they need it.

We hope this new admin notice will improve your customers' experience and eliminate those support tickets altogether.

jQuery Update

WordPress 5.5 no longer supports deprecated methods using jquery-migrate, so all jQuery.live() usages where replaced with jQuery.on(). Thanks, @sc0ttkclark, for the PR!

Plugin Activity Status Identification Fix

As some of you may have already noticed, we have finally added a section to the Developer Dashboard's site profile that shows the list of the plugins and themes (for websites that agreed to it, of course). We spotted a bug in the logic that determines plugins' activity status, making it look as if all the plugins on the site are deactivated. This release fixes the issue.

Auto-Updates UI Integration

WordPress 5.5 introduced a new UI to easily allow website admins to control whether a plugin or theme should be auto-updated:

This release extends the integration also to allow admins to control auto-updates for your paid products by following this recommended from core's team.

Additional bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug in the add-ons actions dropdown.
  • We introduced a new deactivate_on_activation filter to allow you to disable the free (or paid) plugin/theme's automatic deactivation when activating the paid (or free) version while the other version is still active.
