July 2, 20266.5 MBScanned
June 25, 20266.3 MBScanned
Other
  • Release date 25 June 2026 *
  • Settings storage moved from database to file-based JSON
  • Non-sensitive uiXpress settings are now stored in `{uploads}/uixpress/settings.json` instead of the `uixpress_settings` option
  • Sensitive credentials remain in the database only: license key, instance ID, Google Analytics service account, Turnstile secret key, and remote site app passwords
  • Existing installs are migrated automatically on upgrade; no manual action required
  • If the uploads directory is unavailable or not writable, settings fall back to full database storage until file access is restored
  • Menu Creator storage moved from custom post type to file-based JSON
  • Custom admin menus are now stored in `{uploads}/uixpress/menus.json` instead of the `uipx-menu` post type

  • Emergency fallback: menu data is mirrored to the `uixpress_menus_backup` option whenever the file is written
  • Security: `{uploads}/uixpress/` is protected with `.htaccess` and `index.php`; Menu Creator CRUD requires `manage_options` with REST nonce verification; published menu reads require an authenticated session; menu item URLs and metadata are sanitized on write and on API output
  • Modern plugin manager: batch selection and bulk actions
  • Multi-select in the installed plugins sidebar with select-all, shift-click range select, and a floating bulk action bar
  • Row checkboxes are right-aligned and revealed on hover; selected plugins keep their checkbox visible

  • Sites on plain HTTP (e.g. Local .local domains) threw "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'digest')"

  • Hover state is now scoped per menu context (expanded, shortcuts/favorites, minimized)

  • Dashboard tab toggle now renders categories using the saved custom order
