v2.7.0 Latest

July 16, 2026
New 1 Improve 2 Fix 6 Security 1 Dev 1 Compat 1 Note 2

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.

Improve

  • Store "Read More" toggle is now a real button that is keyboard reachable and no longer jumps the page to the top before scripts load.
  • Store "Read More" label is translatable instead of hardcoded English.

Fix

  • WC Vendors settings notice rendered outside its table cell in some browsers; wrapped it in a proper table cell so it stays with the fields it describes.
  • Saving the WC Vendors settings tab no longer wipes other Reign addons' settings.
  • Marketplace defaults now seed on PeepSo sites, not BuddyPress alone, so the WC Vendors tab is populated on first activation for every supported community platform.
  • Translations now load on init instead of plugins_loaded, so WordPress 6.7+ no longer warns that translations loaded too early.
  • The vendor-list widget "Visit Store" label is now translatable.
  • The licence key field is no longer passed through a translation function, and the licence admin page strings are now translatable.

Security

  • Added direct-access guards to every PHP file that lacked one.

Dev

  • Read More toggle styling moved to a top-level Sass rule so it applies across all store header layouts.

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 vendor-list widget now queries only the number of vendors it displays instead of loading every vendor into memory; output is unchanged on any site, but a marketplace with thousands of vendors no longer scans the whole user table. Filterable via wcv_vendor_total_args.
  • The vendor product strip computes the vendor store URL and product count once instead of re-running the count query on every product row.
