Limit height of privacy settings section on your profile page if you have tons of sites you're a member of.

In Page Builder 2.0, you can now turn any line in a text field into a different element. For example, if you're editing a paragraph, you can easily turn any line into a headline by selecting that line and clicking the H1 button from the toolbar.

Member Highlights and Bookmarks

Your members can now add their own custom highlights and bookmarks in the transcript for your videos and audios, making the learning and retention of your training much much better.

Adding their own highlights really aids in spaced repetition.

That way, they can go back and find the parts that they found particularly valuable multiple times, which drastically improves their learning.

Clearer icon for the sidebar on admin tables. Plus tooltip. Plus better mobile layout of the button.

Your membership sites can now allow users to join for free with an automatically generated Join page. This can be enabled by toggling the 'Allow users to join for free with a Join page' setting in the site settings page.

Show bookmarks for video in the transcript box, so you can see it all together.

Page Builder Rounded Corners

Added another option for border radius of 8px, so you now have 0 (not rounded at all), 4px, 8px, and fully rounded. 8px is a very nice level of rounded corners.

Added a filter for transcription status to media files table.

You can now add a column 'Duration' to the table of media files, and you can sort by duration.

Fixing contact action and automation step for 'Add a paid purchase to a product Price' action. In cases of free prices, it was sometimes getting the wrong product.

Add a small delay before scrolling the page builder to the section or element you're hovering over in the page tree, so it doesn't jump around when you're trying to get to the buttons in the header.

We now display the metadata and operations of a transaction event in a more readable form.

Page Builder: Allow switching a Headline/Subheadline/Pre-headline element to a Paragraph element, and vice versa

We’ve update the user profile privacy settings to display only the communities which the user actually has access to instead of displaying the ones they are member on.

Make sidebar wider on the course lesson page on desktop, so you can see more of the transcript, your private notes, and the list of other lessons.

Fixed that when assigning categories to a forum post on admin, it would have you pick the forum first. Obvously we want to pick a category from the forum we're on.

Audio player improvement

The audio player was a bit messy, especially on mobile.

We’ve made it a lot better, and we have one more improvement in the works, should happen early next week.

Fixed a rare bug where a contact could enter an automation twice even when the 'Allow contacts to be in this automation multiple times at the same time' setting is disabled.

Fixed issue preventing sorting landing page views by contact name.

Big play/pause/back/forward buttons on videos

We've improved our video player. This makes it a lot easier to hit those buttons, especially on mobile, but really on all devices.

Enjoy watching some vids. And enjoy seeing your clients watch vids :)

Default new sites to use the new, powerful community and page builder features.

You can still choose to use the legacy page builder and experience, but we strongly recommend all new sites use the new features.

This is where all the focus and development will be going forward.

You can now toggle the right sidebar on Builder 2.0

Added an 'Edit layout' button on the header in the admin interface where you manage your sites (new experience only). This will open the layout editor in a popup and replaces the layout editor that opened in the tab view.

Fixed a bug where a legacy (non Builder 2.0) landing page under a site that is on the new experience would use the site's header and footer.

Fixed issue preventing mobile users from booking calls on schedulig links using mobile phones, when only one timeslot is available.

We’ve added confirmation when an user unhides their profile globally or on a community.

Cool little switches to pin posts ... check ito out :)

Fixed error preventing some members from posting comments on forum posts due to a notification subscription data issue.

Added a Card View for your Landing Pages so the more visually oriented of us can quickly find what they're looking for just by looking.

Heads-up: Check your Builder 2.0 pages using bullet/numbered lists

Add some margin after bullet lists and between bullets in the new page builder.

This means that your existing pages using Builder 2.0 that use bulleted lists or numbered lists will now have some additional whitespace after each list, as well as after each item in the list.

We added 1rem after each list, same as after a paragraph.

And 0.5rem after each item in a list.

Check your pages to see if they still look the way you want them to.

This is much more sensible than what we had, and was something users had requested.

I’m really sorry for changing up your existing pages, but I hope it’ll be well worth it for the better display going forward.

Fixed a bug where the admin search input would sometimes show after navigating from a new pagebuilder page to some other page, due to a bug in a library we use.

Don't redirect to new Join Site page if you're trying to access a site and you're not logged in. Link directly to /join if you want people to see that page.

Dragging files onto course modules was interfering with dragging to reorder lessons

Fixed issue where events from Google Calendar would take 24 hours to block availability on scheduling links. We now will recheck your calendars every 15 minutes.

Fixed a bug where editing/replying to the most recent comment of a forum post (which is also displayed directly in the forum feed) on the new community experience would not show the reply immediately (you'd have to refresh the page).

We have introduced a new setting on Site

As a site admin, you can now set new members' profiles to be private by default, making them invisible in the member directory and mentions. Members can update this setting from their user profile if desired.

Fixed a bug that was causing the Search engine preview URL to show 'undefined' when editing a landing page (created with the new page builder), when the Public URL was 'Under a Site'

Affirm is a new payment processor option!

Affirm is a payment processor that allows customers to finance purchases with installments even you don't offer them. They pay interest on their payments, but you receive in full.

We fixed a bug that was allowing users to re-activate a subscription with their original price even if such price was disabled. Now the users are requested to select a new price when trying to reactivate a subscription if the price is disabled.

🎉 Layouts & Nav List editor for the new site/community experience are here!

If you are using the new community experience, all your sites will now have a Layout editor.

Layout editor allows you to customize the header and footer of your site. You can control the styling as well as the content of the header and footer.

Check out our help guide to learn more about the new layout and navigation editor.

You can get to the layout editor by clicking on 'Layout' in the '...' menu on the admin page of your site.

If you're viewing your live site, you can also get to the layout editor by clicking on 'Edit layout' from the Simplero admin dropdown menu that shows up when you hover on the top left edge of your site.

When using the Layout editor, or the new Page builder for your site's pages, you will now also be able to edit your navigation from it. Just click on the hamburger menu on the top-left and you'll see the new navigation editor.

P.S: Your sites will now have a footer, just like sites built on the old experience, so you might want to hide them if you really don't want them for some reason.

Link directly to funnel opt-ins and funnel purchase pages from the funnel pages themselves.

Fixed an issue where customers might end up with their last name duplicated when they submit multiple opt-in forms or surveys

Community Join Page

People can now become members of your free Membership Site (aka Community) by simply clicking a button on a page.

No need for them to sign up to a List or a ‘buy’ free Product anymore.

The page makes it simpler, and handles every scenario: already logged in, has a login, or needs to get a login.

You'll find this option on the Membership Site > Configure tab > Site URL section.

Make opt-ins default to sort by most recent first.

We've fixed an issue with embedded scheduling links in Page Builder 2.0 pages where if there were a lot of custom fields, events couldn't be booked on mobile because the 'Schedule' button would be unreachable.

Upload files as course lessons by simply dragging them on top of a Course Module.

Fixed a bug that was causing a replaced price to still show up as an option on the order form when the replacement price had an open-ended availability period.

We've released privacy settings for communities

You can now hide your profile on a specific community, preventing anyone from visiting your profile or mentioning you on that community. To enable this feature, edit your profile and find the new 'Settings for specific communities' option under the privacy section.

Added 'Read' permission for Site Content. This will allow users to view Sites, Groups, Forums, Posts and Comments on the admin side.

We've updated the placeholder text on the Card Number field of EasyPayDirect/NMI payment processors. It used to say 'Credit card'. It will now say 'Card number'.
