Frequently Asked Questions
Changelog
9.0.20 – 2025-12-08
- REFACTOR: Safeguard the calls to PHP’s unserialize() function by specifying the “allow_classes” parameter to false to prevent code from being loaded and executed due to object instantiation and autoloading
- TWEAK: Early processing of external update logs is necessary to resolve the issue of the shutdown function being left out when a severe error happens during an auto/manual update through WP-CLI
- TWEAK: Enhance the notifications to signify the introduction of other plugins that belong to the same plugin family and to align with the new branding/links
- TWEAK: Ensure all translation functions are called during the WordPress “init” action or later. Invoking translation functions before the “init” action would have led to no translations being loaded, resulting in the original text being returned.
- TWEAK: Sanitize the list of days setting that is used for scheduling auto-update cron event
