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 fixed an issue which was preventing the system from creating a unique URL when saving a new post that will have the same URL as an existing post.

  • We fixed an issue which was causing an extra forward slash "/" to be added to member profile page URLs if one of the elements of the URL is blank (Top Level Category, country, city, etc).

  • We updated the Dynamic Category Add-On widgets to better align the checkboxes with the Category Name.

  • We fixed an issue which was causing the General Settings page in the Admin to hide the Keyword Search field when displaying the "No Settings Found" message.

  • We moved the SSL Status message from the General Settings page to the Domain Manager page in the Admin.
