BC4WP 4.13.0 Release

4.13 dropped the other day, you should see it as an update in your WordPress install. Let’s break down what’s in it.

Added

  • Added support for password reset for users that exist only on BC (not yet synced with WP)
    User management regarding new users has always been a bit tricky, but this new password reset helps smooth it out.
  • Delete all channels from the WP database on plugin uninstall so a fresh channel list is pulled when reinstalling and connecting to a new store
    This is great too, because re-using a channel can get messy.
  • Added support for changing the SKU element when selecting variants. This adds a wrapper
    around the SKU value where JS targets the wrapper and updates the text. NOTE: Update your templates accordingly. product-sku.php
    This is pretty huge for the UI of the store. The more handles we can get on things the more we can customize how it looks and acts.

Changed

  • Within Embedded Checkout, logging out using the EC sign out button now triggers a callback to log the user out of wordpress as well via wp_logout()
    Yay! Making it more seamless.
  • The SKU text now updates after changing options on a product. NOTE: product-sku.php template updated to v.1.1.0
    See above about the SKU stuff

Fixed

  • Fixed background colors in 2021 theme
  • Fixed banner overlaps the mobile menu icon on 2021 theme
  • Fixed top/bottom banners set for WordPress Twenty-Seventeen theme not showing up on home page.

These are great, but the best fix isn’t listed in the Changelog. There was a bug in 4.12 that made products with Shared Modifiers unusable. You couldn’t click the Add To Cart button. That’s been fixed, so if you’re still on 4.11 because of that bug, now’s the time to update.
