Back In Stock Notifier for WooCommerce 7.5.3Latest
Back In Stock Notifier for WooCommerce 7.5.2
- Fix: The {cwginstock_unsubscribe} placeholder could appear in customer emails as raw text. The token is now always registered, so it is never shown to a customer even when the Unsubscribe add-on is inactive or cannot build a link.
- Fix: {cwginstock_unsubscribe_all} was never replaced, because it was not offered to the add-on that resolves it. Both unsubscribe tokens are now offered.
- Fix: “Send Instock Mail” could answer with “The link you followed has expired”. The handler required a referer header, which browsers, proxies and privacy settings often strip; the request was then left to edit.php, which treated it as a bulk action. The referer is no longer required, the nonce sti…
- Fix: Sending an instock mail manually could fail with a fatal error when the request did not carry post_type in the query string, because the notices library was only loaded in that case.
- Fix: Links in the add-ons notice were shown in the WordPress admin link colour against the notice’s dark background, a contrast ratio of 2.4 to 1, which made the add-on names hard to read. They now use the intended colours and meet WCAG AA.
- Tweak: The email settings now list the {cwginstock_unsubscribe} and {cwginstock_unsubscribe_all} placeholders, with a note that they need the Unsubscribe add-on. The note is shown only when the add-on is missing, and tells Bundle owners to switch the module on rather than pointing them at the shop.
- Tweak: On the Subscribers and Stock Arrival lists the add-ons notice is now a single line, so the list is not pushed down the page. The full notice is still shown on the plugin’s own pages.
- Tweak: The dismiss control on that notice has a larger click area.
Back In Stock Notifier for WooCommerce 7.5.1
- New: UTM tracking for the links in both notification emails, under Instock Notifier > Settings > Email Link Tracking. Set the source, medium and campaign once and they are applied to every link: {product_link}, {cart_link}, the product link inside {product_table}, and the button in {coupon_box}. An…
- Fix: Coupon settings that are on by default could not be turned off. Unticking “Coupon Cannot Be Used on Sale Items”, “Cannot Be Combined with Other Coupons” or “Restrict Coupon to Subscriber Email” had no effect, because an unticked checkbox submitted nothing and the default switched the setting b…
- Fix: The coupon could come through empty when the email body was written in the WooCommerce block email editor. A coupon is only created when a coupon placeholder is found in the email, and that editor keeps the body in a separate place which was not being checked.
- New: An “Always Create the Coupon” setting for stores using a customised email template, where the placeholder cannot be detected automatically.
Back In Stock Notifier for WooCommerce 7.5.0
- New: Waitlist summary box on the product edit screen. It shows how many people are waiting for the product and for each variation, how many were already notified or converted, and links to those subscribers. Turn it on under Instock Notifier > Settings > Troubleshoot Settings > “Show Waitlist Summa…
- Tweak: The Plugins & Add-ons catalogue is no longer downloaded from propluginslab.io on a daily schedule unless you turn on “Refresh the Plugins & Add-ons catalogue daily” (off by default). Pressing Refresh on that page still loads it. Add-on icons on that page no longer load from another site.
- Tweak: Added an External services section to this readme describing Google reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare Turnstile and the add-ons catalogue.
- Security: Hardening across admin actions and the REST API. The subscriber REST endpoints (wc-instocknotifier/v3) now require the Manage WooCommerce capability, deleting a subscriber is no longer allowed with read access only, and the update endpoint only accepts subscriber IDs. The manual “send mai…
- Tweak: Admin and form styles are added through the WordPress style queue instead of inline style tags, debug messages were removed from the browser console, and subscriber deletion logs are written as JSON.
- Fix: The cwginstock_payload_data filter for webhook payloads works again (its name had been lost in 5.5.0).
- Tweak: Renamed the bundled @2x flag and globe images so file names contain no special characters.
- Tweak: Requires at least is now WordPress 5.3, which the plugin already needed for its date handling.
- Tested with WordPress 7.1.3 and WooCommerce 11.2.1.
Back In Stock Notifier for WooCommerce 7.4.5
- New: {coupon_box} placeholder for the back in stock email. One tag renders a complete coupon section with the discount, the code, the expiry date and a shop button, so no HTML is needed. It appears in the WooCommerce email preview with sample content.
- New: Coupon block colours, under Instock Notifier > Settings > Auto Coupon. Follow your WooCommerce email colour, follow your website colour when the theme provides one, or set your own. The background and the button text colour follow automatically so the block stays readable.
- New: Coupon block wording, under the same settings. The heading, subtext, expiry line and button label can each be changed and accept the {coupon_amount}, {coupon_code}, {coupon_expiry} and {shopname} placeholders. Empty fields keep the default wording.
- Fix: On multilingual sites the popup subscribe form and the validation and success messages appeared in the site default language instead of the visitor’s language. These load over AJAX, where a translation plugin cannot tell which language the visitor is on, so the language now travels with the re…
Back In Stock Notifier for WooCommerce 7.4.4
- Fix: Subscribers could receive the same back in stock notification repeatedly. The third-party stock check notified everyone waiting for a product that was in stock, on every run, instead of only when a product came back into stock. On sites using “Keep Subscription Entry to Subscribed Status even…
- Fix: The third-party stock check now acts only on a genuine change from out of stock to in stock. The first run after enabling it records the current stock status of each product and sends nothing, so enabling the option never notifies subscribers for stock that was already there.
- Fix: A subscriber is now notified at most once per restock, whatever state their entry is left in afterwards. A later genuine restock notifies them again.
- Fix: An entry finalized by auto-retry no longer has its retry counter cleared, which could give it a fresh set of retries on every cycle.
- Tweak: The third-party stock check processes at most 100 products per run, continuing on the next run, and records this in the logs.
- Tweak: Added a description to the third-party stock update setting explaining when it is needed and that it is not required when stock is updated through WooCommerce.
- New: Add-ons banner on the plugin’s own admin screens (subscriber list, Settings, Status, Estimate Stock Arrival) featuring Bundle Add-ons and a link to the Plugins & Add-ons page. It is not shown on the dashboard, the Plugins screen or the Plugins & Add-ons page, is hidden when Bundle Add-ons is a…
- Tweak: Links moved to propluginslab.io, including the add-ons feed on the Plugins & Add-ons page and the support links.
- Tweak: Removed the live demo link from the plugin description.
- Tested with WordPress 7.1.1 and WooCommerce 11.1.1.
Back In Stock Notifier for WooCommerce 7.4.3
- Fix: Back in stock emails were never sent for variable products whose stock is managed on the parent product (Inventory set on the main product, not on each variation). WooCommerce only reports the stock change for the parent, so subscribers to its variations were never queued and nothing was logge…
- Fix: The third-party stock update check did not run after enabling it. Its scheduled task was only created on plugin activation (always daily) or when the recurrence was changed, so the chosen recurrence was ignored. It is now created as soon as the option is enabled, follows the selected recurrenc…
- Fix: Cloudflare Turnstile conflict with other plugins that use Turnstile, such as Fluent Forms. The shared Turnstile script was loaded with defer, which made turnstile.ready() throw “Remove async/defer from the Turnstile api.js script tag” and stopped those forms from generating their spam protecti…
- Tweak: The Turnstile script now loads in the footer without a version query string, so the URL matches the one Cloudflare publishes.
- Tweak: Tested up to WooCommerce v11.1.0.
Back In Stock Notifier for WooCommerce 7.4.2
- New: Filter by product category on the Subscribers list. Pick a category to see everyone waiting on products in it, without filtering one product at a time. Subcategories are included, and it works alongside the existing product and stock status filters.
Back In Stock Notifier for WooCommerce 7.4.1
- Fix: PHP 8.4 deprecation notice “Implicitly marking parameter $httpHeaders as nullable is deprecated”. The bundled Mobile Detect library that caused it has been removed, and the plugin now runs notice free on PHP 7.4 through 8.4.
- Fix: On phones the Subscribers list attached the row actions and the details toggle to the small avatar column. The Email column is now the primary column on every screen size, so the subscriber address and its actions are always visible.
- Tweak: Removed 70KB of library code that was parsed on every frontend and admin request, including a table of 225 device matching rules that were only used to pick one admin column.
Back In Stock Notifier for WooCommerce 7.4.0
- New: Subscribe form designs. Choose from six inline form designs (Default, Card, Minimal, Compact, Bold, Outline) under Settings > Frontend Form. “Default (classic)” keeps the existing look exactly as it is and loads no extra stylesheet.
- New: Popup designs. Choose from six popup styles including the original SweetAlert popup plus five built-in lightweight popups (Centered, Slide Up, Side Drawer, Minimal, Card) that need no extra library.
- New: Auto Coupon. Optionally generate a unique discount coupon for each subscriber in the back in stock email to encourage the purchase. Coupons are valid only for the exact product or variation the person subscribed to and can be locked to their email address. Full control over discount type, amou…
- New: {product_table} placeholder for both the subscription confirmation and back in stock emails, rendering the subscribed product in a classic order style table with Product, Quantity and Price columns, including the product thumbnail and SKU. It matches the WooCommerce order table used in your ot…
- New: Stock status filter on the Subscribers list. Filter subscribers by the current stock status of the product they signed up for: In stock, Out of stock, On backorder, Product deleted, and “In stock but below notification threshold” to quickly find and manually notify subscribers the automatic se…
- New: The WooCommerce email preview now shows sample content for both plugin emails, so you can check the layout without waiting for a real subscriber instead of seeing empty or raw placeholders.
- Tweak: The Popup Design setting is now shown only when Frontend Subscribe Form Display Type is set to Pop-Up Subscribe Form, so it is no longer misleading for stores using the inline form.
- Tweak: All available placeholders, including the coupon and product table ones, are now listed in the email settings under WooCommerce > Settings > Emails.
- Tweak: Tested up to WooCommerce v11.0.1.
Back In Stock Notifier for WooCommerce 7.3.3
- New: Setting to choose what the Instock Notifier admin menu counter shows – “New subscribers since your last visit” (default) or “Total number of subscribers”. Available under Settings > Troubleshoot. Choose “Total” to restore the classic running-total badge.
