Fixed alignment of site name/logo and the rest of the links on the new site left-side navigation.

Fixed a bug where some deleted images were causing the theme customizer to crash.

We'll no longer focus the 'Generate custom affiliate link' field when viewing the affiliate summary page. It was annoying because it caused the page to scroll to the bottom anytime you visited it.

If you edit a 'waiting' automation step that has contacts in it, we'll now wait for 3 minutes before updating all the contacts in that step so you have time to revert if it was an accidental change.

Fixed country code not displaying on phone number custom fields in order forms

Fixed adding a trigger to a field option on the participant field editor in 'Product > Order form > Edit participant fields'.

Fixed participant field editor in 'Product > Order form > Edit participant fields' to be usable when there are a lot of custom fields available on the right.

Simplified the Affiliate Program configuration pages

When using a countdown timer to a time after activation, you can specify a specific time of day the countdown should end.

Improved the course editing UI a bit

Left-side navigation on membership sites

You can now choose to have your main navigation be on the left side for membership sites. This allows you to have more elements in your navigation, and makes it feel more like a membership site versus a “regular” website.

To turn this on, go to Membership sites, pick a site, then go to Theme and click to Customize theme. There under Navigation you’ll find the option for Left vs Top.

Replying to a comment will now by default @ mention the name of the person you’re replying to.

Implemented new navigation on course module and lesson pages

New design for the account settings menu on admin navigation bar.

Adjusted the reactions on content in membership sites loosely based on George Kao’s suggestions.

Improved navigation for the Tag screens

Show subscriptions & purchases for landing pages.

We’re going through and updating the design and usability, and today, a refreshed menu design dropped, with icons and descriptions. Check it out!

Cleaend up navigation for landing pages and forms

When a product is sold out, still show the buy button, but then show the options to join the waitlist, etc. when they try to buy.

Allow the header on sites to go full-width, making room for more menu options.

Implemented new navigation style on List pages.

We're still missing Products, Sites, and Affiliate Programs as some of the bigger areas. And the top menu itself is getting a touch-up as well this week. Just making it all easier to understand.

Include Contact info in notification emails from triggers and automations

Added the ability to write notes on your automations, so you and your team can remember what they're about and how they work.

Applying the new nav header style on Automations

Renaming the internal name of a course using quick edit (pencil) on table or header, will now also change the title and the label if they were the same before as well

We re-ordered some of the sections in the Account Settings to make it more logical and clear. Still got some work to do there, taking it one step at a time.

Community features: Rich reactions on Comments

We’ve had Likes on comments for a while, but now you can also Love, Laugh, express Wow, or be Sad or Angry.

And the author will get notified of the reaction, too.

Keeping engagement high 💪🏻🙌🏻

Boost your email open rates

We’ve just dropped a killer feature on our Skyrocket plan that is known to boost your email open rates by up to 40%.

You’ll find it at Settings > Marketing > Email Settings, at the bottom of the page.

Notifications of "Likes"

Now people will get an email notification when someone leaves a 'Like' in one of their comments. Thanks George Kao for the suggestion. This is sure to increase engagement on your membership sites. Who doesn’t like it when someone likes their content, right?

Added Affiliates details to the Broadcast recipients/Deliveries table

We've added an Affiliates column to the Broadcast Recipients table, with the ability to sort and filter by affiliate name.

Also added a filter for whether or not the recipient came from an affiliate or not.

And now the “# Recipients” column on Delivered Broadcasts table links directly to the Recipients screen, saving you a click.

In the process fixed a recently introduced bug where boolean filters would show the on state as blank. Always optimizing, always simplifying 💪🏻

Thanks to George for the feature request. Keep ‘em coming.

Forum posts with a scheduled publication date will now show the correct posting date, ie. the day they’re scheduled to be published, not the date they were created.

Membership sites CSS editor accepts Saas/SCSS code and now it will also validates the CSS, helping you to ensure the CSS is correct without opening the site to check.

Community features

In our ongoing quest to make Simplero the premier platform to host your community, we have now released an improved design of comments on membership sites. This covers both Forums, Blogs, Groups, and Course Lessons.

Lots more to come here (including mobile app support!)

Modals will now warn if you try to close them without saving when you have changed the contents.

If you click a magic login link, and you're already logged in as that user, we just redirect you straight to the content, even if it's expired.

Fixed a bug where the counters on a Newsletter wouldn’t get updated when you used the “Send immediately” option.

Added the button to write a new forum post to the top of the list of posts, in addition to the the bottom, on mobile, to make it easier for people to contribute.

Fixed some overlapping elements on the hamburger menu on membership sites on mobile

As part of our on-going quest to dramatically improve Simplero for SEO purposes (since we're currently investing heavily in SEO for ourselves as a company), site redirects now default to being permanent. This is better for SEO purposes. Not sure why, honestly, but the temporary redirects get flagged as a techincal SEO problem. You can still choose whether or not you want a temp or permanent redirect. We haven't changed any of your existing redirects. But when you create a new one, the default will be the most SEO-optimized option. Because we've got your back!

At the same time, we've also added new filters on the redirects table.

Nerd alert: We have upgraded jQuery on sites from 2.2 to 3.6.1 and changed how it loads for better performance. If you have added custom code or tracking code that uses jQuery, please test it. If you’re not sure what any of this means, you’re probably not affected. Even if you do know what this means, chances are you aren’t affected.

You can now choose the columns “Broadcasts’ and ‘Last broadcast at’ on the Products table, so you can see how many Broadcasts you’ve sent to that product, and when the last one was.

Go to Sales > Products, and click the Columns button, then choose those two columns to add.

Add 'Copy of' to course name when duplicating to the same site (feature request from George)

You can now choose the Email template header image from the media library. Also, you will find the existing header images moved to the media library.

Now easily resubscribe contact(s) to a list using the new action 'Resubscribe to a list' on the contacts page. Thanks George.

You can now filter the Purchases table by amount received, so you can quickly select your best (or worst) customers. Thanks to George Kao for the suggestion!

We've made some minor changes to the way we display prices on the price switcher on the order form

If you're interested, here are the changes:

• No more decimals when the price is a whole number. i.e '$10.00 in 2 payments' becomes '$10 in 2 payments'.
• Changed how commitment clause is displayed. i.e '30 days minimum commitment' becomes '30 days commitment'.
• Changed how free periods are displayed. i.e 'nothing for the first month' becomes '1 month free trial'.
• Changed how some pricing periods are displayed.
  • $X per month for the first 60 days -> $X per month for 60 days
  • $X per month for the next 90 days -> then $X per month for 90 days
  • $X per month after that -> then $X per month

Fixed an issue where course progress on course member analytics table would show people having completed less than 100% when they were actually complete.

Applied new header style to the Contacts screens

As discussed in our Facebook group a little while back, we have now removed the “this course is only available to people who purchased these products” setting under Access Control on a course.

Instead set the course publish status to Dripped, and check the box next to the course on Product Content screen to provide access when the product is purchased.

Any courses that were using the old setting have been reconfigured so they work the same. Nothing needed on your end.
