We made updates to several Default Widgets this week. If you have customized any of these widgets and would like to update your customized widget, you can find the latest code in the corresponding Default Widget. Please remember that if you have a custom version of any of these widgets, our latest updates have not been pushed to your website.


  • We made the Froala WYSIWYG for the "Website Signature" found on the General Settings section of the Admin smaller so it fits better with the rest of the page, and also fixed an issue that was causing it not to display properly in some cases.

  • We fixed an issue which was causing Top and Sub Category homepage search to show a "No Options Available" text on the dropdown fields even options exist in some cases.

    Widget Involved:

    Bootstrap Theme - Homepage Search - Top and Sub Category Only


  • We fixed an issue which was affecting the ability to choose whether or not a member's category will show for members displayed in the "Feature Members on Homepage" Add-On.

  • We added a feature to display the reason why a form submission has been blocked by the Spam Form Protector Add-On.  Now, when viewing a site while logged in as an Admin, submitting a form protected by this add-on will display an error message with the exact keyword that triggered the the submission to be blocked.  Also, when a form submission is blocked due to the Spam Form Protector, it will be logged in the Activity Tracker of the site.
