4.9.0
Core Forms 4.9.0 improves submission reliability, spam protection, payment validation, and the WordPress admin experience.
- Fixes reCAPTCHA and math-captcha validation, draft-save protections, and sensitive template-field access.
- Preserves form HTML when saving from other tabs and prevents submission deletion from touching unrelated post metadata.
- Recomputes calculated payment amounts on the server, reports failed submission writes, and preserves uploads without JavaScript.
- Makes activation safer, improves duplicate prevention and GDPR erasure, and adds submission indexes and diagnostic tools.
- Adds searchable settings sections, accurate unsaved-change indicators, consistent borders and colors, and accessible copy controls.
- Improves Commerce navigation and activity, form-builder toolbar states, and submissions filtering.
- Repairs standalone URL-base changes and shows URL controls only when fullscreen mode and standalone publishing are enabled.
Requires WordPress 6.4+ and PHP 8.1+. Tested with WordPress 7.1.
Validation: 336 unit tests, PHPStan, JavaScript lint, generated-asset checks, package integrity and PHP syntax checks, plus local browser verification.
