Groups Engine

Changelog

Version history for the Groups Engine plugin

Version 1.3.5 is a small update that addresses an issue where some user levels couldn't edit or delete files and leaders (even though they could edit groups).

Version 1.3.4 updates the plugin update mechanism, and corrects sharing links that add extra URL strings to shared group URLs.

Version 1.3.3 is a small update that addresses another issue with properly formatted sharing links for social networks.

Version 1.3.2 is a small update that adds compatibility with the new version of jQuery found in WordPress 5.5.

Version 1.3.1 is a small update that fixes broken sharing links for social media platforms.

Version 1.3 is a substantial behind-the-scenes update that includes rewritten JavaScript (that plays nice with security plugins), repaired viewport scrolling in safari, and several speed improvements.

Please note: If you have caching enabled on your site, you may want to refresh your pages after this update as it references different JS files than older versions.

Version 1.2.8.2 is a small bug fix update that addresses an issue with spam protection where some sites wouldn't allow the submission of the contact form with recaptcha turned on.

Version 1.2.8.1 is a small bug fix update that fixes some broken contact management links in certain email notifications.

Version 1.2.8 is a small update that adds better instructions and error messaging in relation to Google API keys.

Version 1.2.7 is a small enhancement update that adds the following features:

• We've enhanced compatibility with hosts that use non-standard WordPress installs. If you've experienced trouble with JS loading on a non-standard install, this will fix it!
• We've fixed a bug with adding new files and attachments to groups in certain circumstances.

Version 1.2.6 is a tweak release that adjusts how Groups Engine content is loaded with JavaScript to be better compatible with wordpress.com sites. If you've had unexpected behavior with our plugin and your wordpress.com hosted site, this update should fix those issues entirely :-) This release also adds internationalization to many of the dates throughout the plugin.

Version 1.2.5 is a feature update and tweak release that addresses several items:

• More meeting schedule options! You've asked, and we've heard you... Groups can now be marked as meeting on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th weeks of the month, as well as meeting the 1st and 3rd weeks or the 2nd and 4th weeks. You can also now choose to meet on "Various Days" instead of a specific day. Hopefully that gives you a lot more flexiblity in your group listings!
• Dates throughout the plugin will now reflect your date format setting from WordPress.
• We've tweaked a few of the backend labels and UI settings.
• We've confirmed compatibility with WordPress 5.0.
• If you're diving headfirst into Gutenberg, Groups Engine's shortcodes work great with Gutenberg's built-in Shortcode block!

More good stuff is on the way soon!
