The Official Blog for LifterLMS Contributors

• Fixes a conflict with CartFlows introduced by a Divi theme compatibility fix added in 3.36.3. Is WordPress complicated or what?

Updates

• Added new LLMS_Membership class methods: get_categories(), get_tags() and toArrayAfter() methods. Thanks @pondermatic!

Compatibility

• Fixed access plan description conflicts with the Classic Editor block. This also resolves compatibility issues with Elementor which uses a hidden TinyMCE instance.
