Captain Funnel

Registro de cambios

1.2.4 (08/10/2026)

• Fix : Plugin Notices On Captain Funnel Screens : The «WP-Cron is disabled» warning and the «enabled integration plugin is missing» warning were hidden on the plugin’s own screens; they are now shown at the top of the page content, clear of the sidebar, and follow the light and dark theme.
• Fix : Switching Off A Missing Integration : An integration that was switched on but whose plugin is not installed showed a greyed-out, locked toggle, so it could not be switched off as the warning asked; the toggle now shows as on and can be switched off.
• Fix : Site Name In Messages : The {site_name} variable, funnel messages, the test message, and the token expiry email sent the site title with HTML entities (for example «&» instead of «&»); the site name is now sent as plain text.
• Fix : Broadcast Saving & Resending : Saving a broadcast without a credentials mode or recurrence no longer raises PHP warnings, and «Resend to All» / «Resend Failed» now return a clear error for a broadcast that no longer exists.
• Fix : Broadcast Run History Filters : The Today, This Week, and This Month filters now use the site time zone.
• Fix : Log Retention Time Zone : The automatic log cleanup now compares dates in the site time zone instead of the database server’s time zone.
• Fix : Message Logs Pagination : Page number and page size are now kept within safe limits, preventing a database error on an invalid page, and log entries keep their source label after an integration is switched off.
• Fix : WooCommerce Settings Visibility : The order status and «Require phone at checkout» settings, and the chat widget’s WooCommerce options, were hidden when the WooCommerce integration was switched off even though WooCommerce was active.
• Fix : Chat Widget Device Visibility : The «Desktop only» and «Mobile only» options now also work on pages served from a page cache.
• Fix : Chat Widget Assets : The chat widget’s CSS and JavaScript are no longer loaded on pages where the widget has no agents to show.
• Security : Per-Form Settings Permissions : Contact Form 7 and Gravity Forms per-form WhatsApp settings now check that the user may edit that form before saving.
• Security : Input & Query Hardening : The named template message type is sanitized before use, the logs query is built without interpolated SQL, and table names in the uninstall routine are passed through a prepared query.
• Improved : Chat Widget Accessibility : The popup is announced as a dialog, the launcher button reports whether the popup is open, and the Escape key closes the popup and returns focus to the button.
• Improved : Chat Widget RTL Support : Widget text now follows the page direction on right-to-left sites.
• Improved : Privacy & Performance : The admin dashboard no longer loads a font from Google Fonts and uses the same system font stack as wp-admin, and documentation videos use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode.
• Improved : Translations : API error messages, broadcast and log messages, and the token expiry email are now translatable.
• Improved : Admin Menu Icon : The menu icon styles are now added through a registered stylesheet without !important.
• Improved : Code Quality : WordPress Coding Standards (WPCS) clean-up across the plugin, and the duplicated broadcast template-sending code now uses the shared sender.

1.2.3 (05/10/2026)

• Fix : Custom Automation Post Published Error : Resolved a fatal error that occurred as soon as a template was saved for the «Post Published» notification, ensuring it now sends correctly.
• Fix : Custom Automation Comment Approved Trigger : Fixed an issue where «Comment Approved» never fired on current WordPress versions; it now fires once upon comment approval, including those approved on submit.
• Fix : Custom Automation Notification Triggers & Scope : Updated «Post Published» to cover public post types only and skip during imports, and ensured «User Role Changed» no longer fires for new registrations.
• Fix : Contact Form 7 Duplicate Protection : Fixed an issue where a message was dropped for every other visitor of the same form for a minute after a submission, updating duplicate protection to rely on the submitted data.
• Fix : Upgrade & Migration Repair : Fixed an issue where sites updating from versions before named templates retained the old unique key and missed the backfill of their message settings, ensuring the migration now runs before table updates to repair these sites.
• Fix : Broadcast Duplicate Prevention : Contacts are now claimed before sending to prevent double clicks, second tabs, or cron events from sending the same message twice.
• Fix : Broadcast Scheduling & Credentials : Scheduled broadcasts now send multiple batches per cron run and continue a minute later instead of waiting an hour, while invalid credentials properly stop the broadcast rather than marking contacts as failed.
• Fix : Broadcast Recurrence & Time Zone : Monthly recurrence is now calculated from the previous run to prevent late finishes from skipping a month, invalid schedule dates are rejected, and the site time zone is displayed next to the time field.
• Fix : Broadcast Tokens & Phone Number Validation : Custom tokens that expire no longer send the global token’s expiry email, and phone numbers longer than 15 digits are now skipped.
• Fix : Order Notification Statuses : Fixed an issue where unticking all statuses in Settings still sent notifications, and ensured all statuses remain active by default before the first save.
• Fix : Funnel Step IDs & Follow-Up Handling : Preserved step IDs when editing a funnel so queued follow-ups still send, and ensured follow-ups are skipped if the funnel or step is paused, or if the order is cancelled, refunded, or failed.
• Fix : Funnel Message Backslashes : Fixed an issue where backslashes in step messages were incorrectly removed.
• Fix : WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage Compatibility : Declared compatibility with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS), updated tracking numbers and delivery dates to be read through the order object, and ensured billing addresses preserve their line separators.
• Fix : WooCommerce Order Total Currency Entity : Fixed an issue where the order total incorrectly contained an HTML currency entity.
• Fix : WPForms Toggle & Field Detection : Fixed an issue allowing forms to be toggled off again, and updated field detection to locate name and email fields by their field type.
• Fix : Template Message Parameter Cleaning : Cleaned values containing line breaks, tabs, multiple spaces, or a pipe (|) before sending them as template parameters to prevent Meta parameter errors.
• Fix : Bookly, Formidable, and Easy Digital Downloads Integration : Resolved fatal errors caused by missing methods in third-party plugins, and added full support for EDD 3 order status changes.
• Fix : Floating Chat Widget Matching & Caching : Updated include and exclude lists to match pages and posts only, ensured the click counter functions correctly on cached pages, and stored the counter in its own dedicated option
• Fix : Chat Widget WooCommerce Visibility Setting : Removed the unused WooCommerce visibility setting from the chat widget.
• Fix : Message Logs ID & Result Persistence : Fixed an issue where clearing message logs reset log IDs, preventing queued messages from incorrectly writing their results to newer, unrelated rows.
• Fix : Uninstall Data Cleanup : Ensured queued messages, Contact Form 7 per-form settings, and temporary data are properly removed upon uninstallation, while allowing data retention by adding define( ‘CAPF_KEEP_DATA_ON_UNINSTALL’, true ); to wp-config.php
• Fix : Version Rollback : Built package addresses securely on the server, ensured users require proper permissions to install plugins, and respected disabled file modifications.
• Security : Password Reset & License Key Logging Protection : Password reset links and license keys are no longer stored in the message log, and a reset message is restricted to at most once every five minutes per account.
• Security : Form-Triggered Message Rate Limiting : Limited form-triggered messages to one per number and trigger per minute and ten per number per day, with both limits customizable using the capf_form_cooldown_seconds and capf_form_daily_cap filters.
• Security : Integration Error Isolation : Errors inside individual integrations are now caught and written to the message log instead of interrupting the checkout, form, or post save process they ran in.
• Security : Token Header Transmission & Phone Number ID Validation : The token used to check its own expiry is now sent securely in a request header, and Phone Number IDs are validated to ensure they contain digits only.
• Improved : Phone Number Country Code & Formatting : Added a new Default Country Code setting where local numbers automatically receive the billing country’s code (from WooCommerce) or the default code, while numbers starting with + or 00 remain unchanged.
• Improved : Custom Automation Webhook API & Validation : Webhook API keys can now be created directly from the integration page, and the endpoint now responds with an error when given an invalid phone number.
• Improved : Privacy Policy & Data Management : Added suggested privacy policy text along with personal data export and erase tools for the message log, while automatically deleting log entries after 90 days (customizable via the capf_log_retention_days filter).

1.2.2 (28/09/2026)

• Improvement: Integrations : The Integration Editor page now shows the integration’s own name and icon in its header, so it is clear which integration you are configuring.

• Improvement: Rebranded plugin credit, documentation links, and social links to Captain InfoKit.
• Fix: Dashboard : Fixed a layout issue where the Getting Started panel could overlap the page on narrower browser windows.
