Changelog

2.6.19

  • Security: server now computes booking totals from the actual service/extras/promo-code prices instead of trusting the amount sent by the browser, and payment confirmation (Stripe, PayPal) now verifies the payment actually belongs to the booking being marked paid.
  • Security: narrowed several REST API permission checks (agent schedule, promo codes, tools, calendar bookings, field values) to the specific capability each endpoint actually needs, instead of accepting any of several unrelated capabilities.
  • Security: booking-form shortcode/block output is now built through an explicit allow-list instead of returning raw markup.
  • Fix: bookings using PayPal, WooCommerce, or Cash could get stuck with no way to complete when online payments were enabled; the wizard now routes each payment method correctly.
  • Fix: the Gutenberg block’s Service, Default Date, Hide Notes, Require Phone, and Compact Layout settings now actually apply to the booking form.
  • Fix: booking form now loads its stylesheet correctly on RTL sites.
  • Fix: uninstall cleanup now removes all plugin database tables when that option is enabled.
  • Improvement: added a database-level lock around slot booking to prevent double-booking under concurrent requests.
  • Improvement: admin sidebar now links to Schedule, Holidays, Promo Codes, Form Fields, Notifications, Audit Log, and Tools; added the ability to delete an Agent from the admin UI; Booking Form Designer’s Fields Layout panel can add fields back after removing them.
  • Fix: corrected garbled/mis-encoded text across the admin UI, booking widget, and block editor.
  • Tested up to WordPress 7.1.
