202633 releases

  1. Create 3.1.1Latest

    • FIX: Hero list item titles no longer overlap or clip when they wrap onto multiple lines on mobile
    • FIX: Bulk Import for Lists now works correctly in the Post Editor, rather than just the standalone Create editor

  2. Create 3.1.0

    • FEATURE: A new Reviews settings panel with a live preview lets you choose how readers leave feedback: ratings with reviews, or ratings only
    • ENHANCEMENT: Leaderboard, Ranked, Countdown and Editorial lists can now hide their rank numbers, site-wide or per list
    • ENHANCEMENT: Social Footer content now has a rich-text editor, so you can add links such as a book promotion
    • FIX: Links and formatting in Social Footer content are no longer removed when you save
    • FIX: Changing plans now clears page caches from BigScoots, Bluehost, Nginx Helper, Breeze, Cloudflare and other page caches, so readers see Interactive Mode and other plan features right away
    • FIX: “Read More” buttons and images on list cards now always show and link to each item, even when caching or optimization plugins delay Create’s scripts
    • FIX: Republishing cards now removes old, unused image sizes Create had stored for them, including every stored image once a card’s images are removed

  3. Create 3.0.0

    • FEATURE: A new plan lineup — Free, Free+, Pro Guides, Pro Lists, and Pro Pass — with features unlocking per plan
    • FEATURE: Free+, a new free plan supported by ads shown only inside Interactive Mode on create.studio, includes automatic nutrition, scraping, reader reviews, Interactive Mode, Adjustable Servings, and Unit Conversion
    • FEATURE: Connect to Create Studio without leaving WordPress — Create sets up your Create Studio account in the background
    • FEATURE: Guided Setup wizards walk you through configuring card appearance, recipe features, list cards, list syncing, Jump to Card, and Featured Reviews
    • FEATURE: Three new Premium List layouts: Editorial, Leaderboard, and Ranked
    • FEATURE: Choose a site-wide default list layout, with a per-list override, plus a Photo Ratio setting for lists
    • FEATURE: List items linked to your own cards can now stay in sync with the source card’s title and image, with a per-item toggle and a bulk catch-up wizard
    • FEATURE: Featured Reviews can place themselves automatically in your posts and link readers down to the card, managed from a redesigned settings panel
    • FEATURE: Pick exactly which card types use Interactive Mode (Pro Guides and Pro Pass)
    • ENHANCEMENT: The theme picker is redesigned around a live sample card, so you can see a theme on a real card before applying it
    • ENHANCEMENT: The Jump to Card setup wizard includes the “Show Jump Button On” card type control, and a featured review’s jump link follows it
    • ENHANCEMENT: Every plan can select list items and preview bulk actions; acting on them still requires Pro Lists or Pro Pass
    • ENHANCEMENT: Plan badges now show “Included” on features your plan already covers instead of a generic premium label
    • ENHANCEMENT: If a payment fails, Create shows a heads-up during the grace period with a link straight to billing, so you can update your card before losing access
    • ENHANCEMENT: Plan changes show up on Create’s screens right away instead of after a second reload
    • ENHANCEMENT: “Jump to Recipe” is now called “Jump to Card” everywhere, since it works on every card type
    • CHANGE: Automatic nutrition calculation and product/list-item scraping now require Free+ or a paid plan
    • CHANGE: Collecting new reviews now requires Free+ or a paid plan; reviews you’ve already collected continue to display, along with their schema
    • FIX: Clearing a Prep, Cook, or Additional time field now saves the cleared value and recalculates Total Time
    • FIX: Aggressive Button Styles only restyle Create’s own buttons, so third-party buttons inside cards (such as a video player’s close button) are left alone
    • FIX: Editorial-style cards no longer lose their colors to white theme values
    • FIX: A premium theme your plan doesn’t include no longer shows as “Active” in the theme picker
    • FIX: More of the reader-facing card text is translatable
    • FIX: Images added from a URL without a file extension no longer overwrite each other in the Media Library, and are saved with their real file type
    • FIX: The list editor preview and admin navigation no longer crash on incomplete data
    • FIX: Recipe cards no longer jump or rearrange after Jump to Card on tablets and laptop resolutions; the card now shows its final layout from the start
    • FIX: The review form now stays on top of sticky ads and floating video players, so taps on Submit Review no longer land on an ad, and the form is more compact on short screens
    • FIX: With Enhanced Search on, searching several words (like “brown sugar chocolate chips”) now finds posts containing all of them anywhere in the post or its card, instead of only the exact phrase, and searches run several times faster
    • ENHANCEMENT: Create now supports PHP 8.5, and the notice shown when a required PHP extension is missing names the PHP version, SAPI, and php.ini in use so your host can fix the right runtime
    • SECURITY: Tightened output escaping in block rendering, images, video embeds, and premium list item links

  4. Create 2.7.0

    • FEATURE: New “Show Jump Button On” setting under Reader Experience lets you show the Jump to Recipe button on Recipes and How-Tos, Recipes Only, or How-Tos Only
    • FIX: List cards no longer include a star rating in their schema, which stops invalid structured data warnings in Google Search Console when custom layouts add star ratings
    • FIX: The print view no longer shows a console error on load, and the print dialog now opens after the page (including images) has finished loading

  5. Create 2.6.6

    • FIX: Total Time on Recipe and How-To cards now correctly includes every time field (Prep, Cook, Additional), including on cards that were saved with a wrong total
    • ENHANCEMENT: Instruction steps grouped under headings now appear as named sections in recipe schema, which helps search engines understand multi-part recipes
    • FIX: Cards no longer output an empty star rating in their schema after the last review is deleted, which stops Google Search Console Review snippet errors
    • FIX: Card images display properly on sites using offload plugins (such as Cloudflare R2) that change image URLs but don’t update responsive image sizes

  6. Create 2.6.5

    • FEATURE: List Bulk Import now lets you choose which scraped descriptions to import (thanks for the idea, Kat!)
    • FIX: List Bulk Import no longer stops partway through when a site limits requests, can import Amazon links, and handles links to your own posts correctly
    • FIX: Create Cards have stronger protection against other plugins/themes displaying Create CPT in feeds.
    • FIX: Card images no longer appear broken on sites that offload media to a CDN or cloud storage after publishing.
    • FIX: Recipe and How-To print pages without canonical posts are kept out of search engine results, even when an SEO plugin is active
    • FIX: Create admin pages load again when another plugin or theme adds an admin menu link without a destination

  7. Create 2.6.4

    • FIX: The hands-free toggle is back on recipe cards for sites that don’t have Interactive Mode on
    • FIX: The image insert menu in the Instructions editor now opens in front of the card editor when you edit a card from the post editor

  8. Create 2.6.3

    • FIX: Cards using the Editorial style with a very light secondary color no longer have light-on-white visibility issues
    • FIX: Custom post types enabled under Settings → Card Types are searchable again when adding items to a list
    • FIX: Filtering and paginating reviews now behaves more smoothly
    • FIX: Hero-layout list items without an image no longer overlap the item above them
    • FIX: Clears potential PHP notices on newer PHP versions
    • ENHANCEMENT: Tested and confirmed compatible with WordPress 7.1

  9. Create 2.6.2

    • FIX: Fixes an issue that prevented card JavaScript from loading properly on some theme configurations, including not being able to rate cards
    • FIX: Long ingredient and material groups in the detail editor no longer get cut off by the next group
    • FIX: Adding a card to a post with Save & Insert no longer leaves the block showing “This block has encountered an error and cannot be previewed” in the editor, and posts already affected recover the next time you open them
    • FIX: Cards’ star averages update immediately after leaving a review instead of needing a page refresh
    • FIX: Reviews are now reachable on posts that don’t have any comments yet
    • FIX: Pages with more than one card no longer open a print tab for every card when you click Print
    • FIX: The editor no longer warns that “saving could overwrite the original card” unless card data is actually damaged
    • SECURITY: Strengthens Create Studio’s encrypted connection

  10. Create 2.6.1

    • SECURITY: Reviews can no longer be edited by anyone other than the reader who left them

  11. Create 2.6.0

    • FEATURE: New importer for recipes created with the GetMeCooking Recipe Template plugin, bringing over ingredients, instructions, times, servings, categories, and photos
    • ENHANCEMENT: Post editor screens now load a much smaller Create bundle, so Gutenberg and the Classic Editor open faster
    • FIX: List cards no longer show grainy or blurry images when the layout’s Photo Ratio crop hasn’t been generated for an image yet
    • FIX: The ingredient group collapse toggle keeps its own styling when Aggressive Button Styles are turned on
    • FIX: Review replies now show a clear message when loading or posting a reply fails, your reply text is kept if it doesn’t go through, and your name and email prefill from your last reply
    • FIX: Imported recipes with no rating no longer save an invalid rating value
    • FIX: Edits to list items in the editor are no longer overwritten while you type
    • FIX: The EasyRecipe importer no longer fails with a fatal error when reading recipes out of your posts
    • FIX: Your plan, trial countdown, and unlocked features now update as soon as you connect, upgrade, or earn bonus trial days — no page refresh needed
    • FIX: The Enable Checklists setting now appears under Reader Experience, where it belongs, instead of being hidden on new installs
    • FIX: The bonus trial days checklist button no longer occasionally fails to appear
    • FIX: URL scraping now works during a free trial instead of showing an upgrade prompt, and that prompt links to the correct plan
    • FIX: Premium card themes are gated consistently everywhere — the theme picker, the preview banner, and the rendered card can no longer disagree about which theme your plan includes

  12. Create 2.5.5

    • FIX: Create no longer defines generically named functions like collect() in the global namespace, so it can’t conflict with other plugins or themes that define their own

  13. Create 2.5.4

    • This release is the result of a full security and code-quality audit of the plugin.
    • SECURITY: Fixed two reported SQL injection vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-13200, CVE-2026-13191)
    • SECURITY: Fixed reported REST API authorization issues that let an anonymous visitor read an unpublished card or duplicate a card (CVE-2026-16992). Thanks to Pedro Pinho for the report
    • SECURITY: Unpublished cards are no longer served by the print, structured data, or featured review endpoints, and requesting a card can no longer cause it to be published
    • SECURITY: Hardened the plugin throughout following a full internal security audit. REST API permission checks, input sanitization and output escaping, credential handling, scraper/importer safety, removed PHP dependencies, and updated JavaScript dependencies
    • FIX: Reviews pagination and product/supplies ordering work correctly again (long-standing bugs)
    • FIX: Image imports now process reliably in the background via WP-Cron
    • FIX: Instruction images show in editor preview when switching between cards with identical number of images in instructions
    • FIX: Editorial theme spacing corrected for ingredient group headings and double-digit step numbers, and list item description spacing is no longer easily overridden by themes
    • FIX: Interactive checklist group headers stay in sync when collapsing and expanding ingredient and instruction groups
    • FIX: Emoji, accented, and non-Latin characters in recipe steps are preserved in structured data, and incomplete video data is no longer added to schema
    • FIX: Recipes imported with times written like 0:25 now import as hours and minutes instead of days and hours
    • FIX: Deleting a list fully removes its item relationships, and saving a list with no items no longer causes an error on PHP 8
    • FIX: Numbers reappear on numbered lists when a page has no main heading
    • ENHANCEMENT: Admin fonts are now bundled with the plugin, Settings screen no longer embeds a create.studio iframe; meaning fewer third-party requests, with all remaining external services disclosed in this readme
    • ENHANCEMENT: Amazon product scraping now uses only the Creators API; legacy PA-API settings, the PA-API SDK, and unused external dependencies have been removed
    • ENHANCEMENT: Removed large amounts of legacy and unused code (old analytics tracker, expired migrations, redundant logging), and the plugin package no longer ships source maps, reducing the install size

  14. Create 2.5.3

    • FEATURE: Add images and GIFs by pasting a URL directly into image pickers (main card, Pinterest, and list-item images) and the Instructions/Notes editors
    • ENHANCEMENT: Settings now show a Save button and confirmation toasts so you can see when your changes are saved
    • ENHANCEMENT: Collapse the settings sidebar for more room while editing your cards
    • IMPROVEMENT: List cards now output cleaner, more complete ItemList structured data that better follows Google and schema.org guidance
    • FIX: Star ratings now use a valid accessibility role, resolving a PageSpeed Insights accessibility warning
    • FIX: A scraped description now appears right away when adding a list item by URL, instead of only after saving and reloading
    • FIX: Create no longer floods server error logs with debug messages on every card render (for Pro users with Unit Conversion enabled)

  15. Create 2.5.2

    • FIX: Images imported by Create (list-item and product thumbnails) now generate proper metadata in the Media Library, so image optimizers like Imagify and WordPress thumbnail sizes work correctly.

  16. Create 2.5.1

    • FIX: In the User Reviews page, the “Search for a card” dropdown now appears under the search box so you can actually pick a card to filter by
    • FIX: Resolved a “translation loading was triggered too early” notice (WordPress 6.7+) by deferring recipe-importer translations until after init

  17. Create 2.5.0

    • FEATURE: Insert fractions (½, ⅓, ¼…) and the degree symbol directly into ingredient fields, just like you already can in instructions
    • FIX: Recipe cards no longer grow and push content down as they scroll into view on mobile, reducing CLS potential
    • FIX: You can type “?” in the post editor again after inserting a recipe card
    • FIX: Dropdown fields in the card editor (Diet, Author, Cuisine, etc.) now match the height of the text-input fields (fixed after WP ui update increased base input size)

  18. Create 2.4.7

    • FIX: In the List editor, URLs that can’t be scraped can now be added manually again; use “Add it anyway” to insert the link and fill in the title, image, and details yourself

  19. Create 2.4.6

    • ENHANCEMENT: Typing a new value into a card-editor taxonomy dropdown (Author, Cuisine, Category, etc.) now creates the term and saves reliably
    • FIX: Hero lists with photo ratios keep the Pinterest pin button and item titles visible, including on narrow viewports

    • FIX: Cleared PHP 8.2+ deprecation notices in recipe-step JSON-LD parsing
    • IMPROVEMENT: Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 7.0
    • SECURITY: Routine update of bundled JavaScript dependencies

  20. Create 2.4.5

    • FIX: Recipe importer verify screen no longer appears blank due to a React conflict between the importer and editor bundles
    • FIX: Create Studio widget styles (Interactive Mode toolbar, Servings Adjustments, Unit Conversion) are no longer stripped on live sites by WP Rocket Remove Unused CSS or LiteSpeed Unused CSS optimizers

  21. Create 2.4.4

    • FIX: Create Studio widget buttons (Interactive Mode, Servings Adjustments, and Unit Conversion) no longer have their colors overridden when the Aggressive Buttons option is enabled
    • FIX: List items with only a title and description once again render as inline section dividers in lists instead of showing empty image placeholders and breaking the numbering sequence
    • FIX: Card color customizations are preserved when Remove-Unused-CSS optimizers like WP Rocket RUCSS and Autoptimize are active

  22. Create 2.4.3

    • FIX: The editor no longer crashes on existing recipes when another plugin returns malformed supplies, ingredients, or products data; affected cards now show an inline notice and auto-report the issue
    • FIX: Prevents third-party SEO and redirect plugins (Yoast SEO Premium, Redirection, 301 Redirects) from intercepting Create’s REST endpoints and breaking the editor
    • FIX: Photo credit and alt text are now preserved when scraping a URL into a list item
    • FIX: Disconnected sites no longer hit a PHP warning when pasting a non-Amazon product URL; scraping UI is now hidden until you connect to Create Studio
    • FIX: Author, Category, Cuisine, and other taxonomy dropdowns now appear in front of the card editor when opened from a Gutenberg block, instead of being hidden behind it

  23. Create 2.4.2

    • FIX: The Bulk Link Import Wizard and list Bulk Edit modal now appear above the editor overlay when opened from the Gutenberg block editor, instead of being hidden behind it (Premium)

  24. Create 2.4.1

    • ENHANCEMENT: Added a “Sync subscription” button to the Create Studio settings for free-tier users, giving you a self-serve way to refresh your subscription state if it becomes stale
    • FIX: Resolved an error when saving Amazon product relations on sites configured with the new Amazon Creators API
    • FIX: The Button Text dropdown inside list items is no longer clipped by the editor pane and now display the full list of options

  25. Create 2.4.0

    • FEATURE: Amazon Creators API integration — replaces the legacy PA-API ahead of Amazon’s April 30, 2026 deprecation, with clearer, actionable error messages when credentials or product requests fail
    • FIX: Recipe and how-to editors now also have fixed-height, independently-scrolling panes, matching the list editor
    • FIX: Sticky section headers in the recipe, how-to, and list editors no longer hide behind the control bar
