The Official Blog for LifterLMS Contributors

• Updated user interfaces on admin panel for courses and memberships with relation to “Enrolled” and “Non-Enrolled” student descriptions
• “Enrolled Student Description” is now the default WordPress editor
• “Non-Enrolled Student Description” is now the “Sales Page”
• Additional options for sales pages (the content displayed to visitors and non-enrolled students) have been added:
  • Do nothing (show course description)
  • Show custom content (use a WYSIWYG editor to define content)
  • Redirect to a WordPress page (use custom templates and enhance page builder compatibility and capabilities)
  • Redirect to a custom URL (use a sales page hosted on another domain!)
• Tested to WordPress 4.9.

• Fix file load paths in OptimizePress plugin compatibility function

• Fixed bug causing select2 multi-selects from functioning as multi-selects
• Fixed visual issue with select2 elements being set without a width causing them to be both too small and too large in various scenarios.
• Fixed duplicate action on dashboard section template

Template Updates

• templates/myaccount/dashboard-section.php

Updates and enhancements

• Bulk enroll multiple users into a course or membership from the Users table on your admin panel. See how at https://lifterlms.com/docs/student-bulk-enrollment/
• Added event on builder to allow integrations to run trigger events when course elements are saved
• Added general redirect method llms_redirect_and_exit() which is a wrapper for wp_redirect() and wp_safe_redirect() which can be plugged (and tested via phpunit)
• Added new action called before validation occurs for a user account update form submission: llms_before_user_account_update_submit
• Removed placeholders from form fields. Fixes a UX issue causing registration forms to appear cluttered due to having both placeholders and labels.

Bug fixes

• Fixed issue allowing nonce checks to be bypassed on login and registration forms
• Fixed issue causing a PHP notice if the registration form is submitted without an email address and automatic username generation is enabled
• Fixed issue preventing email addresses with the “‘” character from being able to register, login, or update account information
• Fixed typo in automatic username generation filter lifterlms_generated_username (previously was lifterlms_gnerated_username)
• Fixed issue causing admin panel static assets to have a double slash (//) in the assest URI path
• FIxed issue allowing users with view_lifterlms_reports capability (Instructors) to access sales & enrollment reporting screens. The view_others_lifterlms_reports capability (Admins & LMS Managers) is now required to view these reporting tabs.
• Updated IDs of login and registration nonces to be unique. Fixes an issue causing Chrome to throw non-unique ID warnings in the developer console. Also, IDs are supposed to be unique anyway but thanks for helping us out Google.
