New
- Bundled translations for Arabic, German, German (formal), Spanish, French, Italian and Dutch. These are a machine-translated first pass rather than a reviewed translation; refine them per site in Loco Translate.
Fix
- Deactivating LifterLMS while this addon stayed active returned a white screen to every visitor, and the site owner only found out when they next opened wp-admin. The addon now stops loading when LifterLMS is inactive, so the site keeps serving normally.
- Activating the addon no longer wipes other Reign addons' settings; activation reads the shared reign_options fresh and seeds only the keys that are missing.
- Saving any other Reign settings tab no longer erases this addon's settings. The save handler runs on the shared Reign settings form, so submitting a different tab reached it with nothing to save and blanked every LifterLMS setting; it now writes its own section only when that section was actually submitted.
- Bundled translations now load: added the missing text-domain loader on init, so the shipped /languages files apply (and without tripping WordPress 6.7+'s "loaded too early" notice).
Security
- The settings save now checks capability before the nonce, runs on admin_init, and sanitizes submitted values before storing them.
- The quiz-activity lookup now uses a prepared statement, and the review submission reads the rating value isset-safe to avoid an undefined-index notice.
- Added direct-access guards to the seven LifterLMS widget files, and made the review nonce-failure message translatable.
Compat
- Requires at least is now WordPress 6.5 (was 4.5) and Requires PHP is now 8.0 (previously undeclared). Tested up to WordPress 7.0. Both floors are declared in the plugin header, so a site below them is refused the update instead of fataling on it. Check the PHP version on older sites before advising a customer to update.
Note
- The [reign_lifterlms_courses] shortcode now paginates by default (12 per page, filterable) instead of rendering every course on one page; pass posts_per_page to override. This activates the pagination the shortcode already supported.
- The Enrolled Students widget caps how many students it renders (20 by default, filterable) so a course with thousands of students no longer runs a per-student lookup for every one; set the limit to 0 to show all.
