    Updates and enhancements
    • Added a “My Memberships” tab to the student dashboard
    • “My Memberships” preview area
    • Updated admin panel order status badges to match frontend order status badges
    • Added a new recurring order status “Pending Cancel.” Orders in this state will allow students to access course / membership content until the next payment is due, on this date, instead of a recurring charge being made the order will move to “Cancelled” and the student’s enrollment status will change to “Cancelled” removing their access to the course or membership.
    • When a student cancels an active recurring order from the student dashboard, the order will move to “Pending Cancellation” instead of “Cancelled”
    • Students can re-activate an order that’s Pending Cancellation moving the expiration date to the next payment due date
    • Added the ability to edit the access expiration date for orders with limited access settings and for orders in the “pending-cancel” state
    • Added a filter to allow customization of the URL used to generate certificate downloads from
    • When viewing taxonomy archives for any course or memberhip taxonomy (categories, tags, and tracks), if a term description exists, it will be used instead of the default catalog description content defined on the catalog page.
    • Added a filter (llms_archive_description) to allow filtering of the archive description
    • When WP_DEBUG is disabled the scheduled-actions posttype interface is now available via direct link. Useful for debugging but don’t want to expose a menu-item link to clients. Access via wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=scheduled-action. Be warned: you shouldn’t be modifying scheduled actions manually and that’s why we’re not exposing this directly, this should be used for debugging only!
    • Updated the function used to check if lessons have featured images to improve performance and resolve an incompatibility issue with WP Overlays plugin.
    Bug fixes
    • Fixed issue causing “My Courses” title to be duplicated on the student dashboard when viewing the endpoint
    • Fixed issue causing the trial price to be displayed with a strike-through during a sale
    • Fixed coupon issue causing coupons to expire at the beginning of the day on the expiration date instead of at the end of the day
