Release Notes – WP Ultimo 1.9.8 and Add-ons
Hello everyone.
WP Ultimo version 1.9.8 is out and, despite not bringing major improvements or new features, it addresses some small issues that were bugging users and super admins alike.
These include:
- Bug in the responsiveness of the template selection step on signup;
- 502 errors on some hosting providers when the Auto Login after Registration option was active;
- Password reset on the sub-sites (redirecting back to the main site is no longer needed).
WP Ultimo 2.0 Beta
We know how much you guys are looking forward to WP Ultimo 2.0. And so are we, here at NextPress HQ.
Unfortunately (and for that we are really, really sorry =/), we had to postpone this launching – which would happen on Monday, 25th – to this Sunday, March 3rd.
We found a small issue while testing some of the new code that might mean we’ll have to make adjustments to the database structure, and we need some time to figure out the best way to make it as future-proof as possible.
Most of the features we promised for 2.0 are ready, though, including the new checkout screen, tax support, and add-on sales (we have some screenshots for you down below). You can keep yourself up-to-date with the development by visiting our public Roadmap.
Add-ons
Today we are also releasing new major and minor versions of some of WP Ultimo’s Add-ons.
Admin Page Creator 1.4.0
This is the biggest release for Admin Page Creator since the addition of Page Builder support on version 1.3.0.
It adds some cool new features, such as External Link support, inline editing for page builders, meta data interpolation, and more.
Stand-alone Version
Since the day we came up with the idea for Admin Page Creator we knew it had potential to become a plugin on its own.
The fact the we were constantly asked by users if they would be able to use it on a single site install, or without WP Ultimo, made us realize we were probably right on our original assumption.
That’s why we’ve just released a stand-alone version of this add-on: a separated plugin that goes by the name of WP Admin Pages PRO
Now, it also has its own Documentation page and its own Roadmap, where you can follow its development progress and suggest new features. Some of the things we plan to add include support to Admin Pages built on Gutenberg and DIVI!
It’s important to highlight that if you are a WP Ultimo user there’s no need to worry. All the features in the plugin and in the add-on are the same, and the add-on will receive the same updates as the plugin.
The only difference lies here: WP Ultimo: Admin Page Creator (the add-on) depends on WP Ultimo’s code, and will only work in Multisite environments with WP Ultimo installed and activated. On the other hand, WP Admin Pages PRO (the stand-alone plugin) works on either single or multisite installs, and you don’t need to have WP Ultimo running to use it!
If you think you have a use case for a stand-alone version of Admin Page Creator, we are offering 50% off for WP Ultimo users! Just use WPULTIMO during checkout on WP Admin Pages PRO.
