We made updates to several default widgets this week. If you customized any of these widgets and want to update them, 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, the latest updates will not be pushed to your website.
- Released a new Database Update installer that creates the email_schedule table on older websites missing the table. This table is required by the new Newsletter Module.
- Updated the Search Members section in the Admin so that all search field dropdowns now support selecting multiple options at once.
- Updated the Reply-to-Reviews Add-On workflow in the Member Dashboard with a new UI that works more like leaving a comment.
- Updated the Express Member Registration Add-On to be compatible with the Social Login Add-Ons.

Additionally, a new update is available in the Admin Dashboard Updates section to convert existing websites that do not have the change applied.
- Improved the security of outgoing webhook notifications by removing sensitive member data (encrypted passwords, tokens, and cookies) from webhook payloads by default. Additionally, a new Advanced Setting called "Include Login Token in Member Webhook Payloads" was added to allow the login token to be included when needed.
- Updated the API to include additional writable fields for posts, such as venue, URL, caption, and location.
- Fixed an issue that caused profile cover image uploads to fail with an "Unable to save the file" error in some cases, because the cropped image was not being optimized before saving.
Widget Involved:
Bootstrap Theme - Account - Profile Image Upload - Fixed an issue that caused members without a valid street address to be incorrectly marked as successfully geocoded when running the geocoding tool in the Admin.
- Fixed an issue that caused the Articles tab on member profile pages to display empty review content instead of the member's articles when the website had both Member Reviews and Community Articles enabled in some cases.
- Fixed an issue that prevented the %group_name% variable from populating in related Email Templates.
- Fixed an issue that caused the Account Status options to be missing from the bulk action modal in the Admin Search Members section.
- Fixed an issue that caused the status filter in the Manage Posts section of the Member Dashboard to display "No data available" for posts without an expiration date.
Widget Involved:
Bootstrap Theme - Account - Feature Body datatable - Fixed an issue that caused web pages with accented characters in their URL to return a "Page Not Found" error.
- Fixed an issue that caused the API to return incorrect submission times for Forms Inbox entries, so times now match the site's timezone and the Admin Forms Inbox exactly.
