THIS IS A MAJOR UPDATE – PLEASE MAKE SOME TESTS ON YOUR DEVELOPMENT AND TEST SITES BEFORE UPGRADING YOUR LIVE WEBSITE

  • The customer area main navigation menu now is a WordPress menu that can be customized just like any other WordPress menu (from the admin page: «Appearance» > «Menus»)
  • Restructured the options page. It now has less tabs and should group options in a more logical way. If you have commercial add-ons, you may need to enter their
    license key again. These are available by logging-in with your credentials at https://foobar.studio/shop/your-account/
  • Added category column in the admin page for private files and private pages (A pending feature request from several users)
  • Refactored a lot of code to make the plugin ligher and more efficient. Should also reduce the amount of duplicated code and thus the potential hidden bugs.

    except that this file should be located in your Customer Area theme folder (not the WordPress theme’s folder) and it should be named ‹cuar-functions.php›
