  1. WPZOOM Connect 5.0.0Latest

    • MAJOR: Social Icons Widget is now WPZOOM Connect 5.0: a new dashboard under “Social Icons”, icons drawn as SVG instead of icon fonts, 2,400+ icons with an icon library to browse, icons without links and an “Icon by WPZOOM” block, a Social Profiles block, and the Google Preferred Sources button. Sit…
    • NEW: Social Profiles block — your profiles as a list with each network’s icon, a handle taken from the link (@yourname, r/WordPress) or the short link, and optional follower counts you type in (labelled followers, subscribers or members per network). Start by picking from 10 popular networks; style…
    • IMPROVED: Social Icons block — Detect Icon now looks in Socicons first and falls back to the other enabled icon kits (it used to take the last kit with a match, often Font Awesome)
    • NEW: the icon’s URL field shows the matching icon as you type
    • NEW: visual style picker for the Social Icons block — each style shows your own icons, so you see the result before choosing. Style names are shorter and easier to tell apart
    • NEW: “Add to Preferred Sources” button for Google — readers who add your site see more of it in Top Stories and AI results. Show it on all posts, pages or other post types from Settings → Google Preferred Sources, or place it with the new Google Preferred Source block or the [wpzoom_preferred_sourc…
    • IMPROVED: redesigned Settings page — on/off switches, sample icons and icon counts for each icon set, clearer descriptions, and the “Misc.” tab is now “Modules”
    • NEW: search in the “Select Icon” dialog covers every enabled icon kit, grouped by kit
    • IMPROVED: “Select Icon” dialog — the URL is no longer rewritten while you type, typing a URL picks its icon from any kit, a custom label or color is kept when you pick another icon, the list no longer jumps while you type, and Search, Delete and Save stay visible on shorter screens
    • Updated the Reddit icon to Reddit’s current logo and brand color (#FF4500)
    • Sharing Buttons no longer load the icon font stylesheets, which they never used (their icons are SVG)
    • The older Font Awesome set is now correctly labelled Font Awesome 4 in Settings
    • Updated brand colors for GitHub, Instagram and Nextdoor
    • IMPROVED: the Social Icons block and widget now draw their icons as inline SVG on your site instead of loading icon fonts. Pages no longer download up to 130 KB of icon CSS and 330 KB of font files, and icons appear instantly. Icons look exactly as before, and saved content is unchanged (developers…
    • Fixed 15 Font Awesome 5 icons (LinkedIn, Vimeo, Facebook F, Calendar and others) showing a different icon on the site when the Font Awesome 4 set was also enabled
    • The block editor draws icons as SVG too, so the editor and the Settings page no longer load icon fonts
    • Icons of networks that have shut down (Google+, Skype, Vine, StumbleUpon, Periscope, Pocket and others) are no longer offered in the icon pickers. Icons already on your site keep working, and pasting such a link no longer picks them
    • Settings: the Optimization tab is gone (icons are SVG, so there are no fonts to preload; it comes back if a site turns SVG off). New Custom Icons and Pinterest tabs show what PRO adds: your own SVG icons, and a Pinterest Save button on images
    • NEW: 41 more networks in WPZOOM Icons: Twitch, Kick, Rumble, Linktree, Buy Me a Coffee, Cash App, Signal, Threema, KakaoTalk, Weibo, Quora, Farcaster, BeReal, Pixelfed, Zoom, Calendly, Notion, Product Hunt, Upwork, GitLab, Bitbucket, DEV, Hashnode, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Audiomack, Pandora, Au…
    • NEW: 148 brand icons from Font Awesome 7 in the Font Awesome Brands set, including X, Threads, Bluesky, TikTok, Signal, Linktree and Substack
    • NEW: Overview screen, the first item under Social Icons: one card each for Social Icons, Share Buttons and Chat, showing what is set up and where to change it
    • The Blocks and Social Icons widget switches are gone. Icons are SVG and load only where they are used, so turning them off saved nothing, and turning blocks off broke the automatic share buttons and the Preferred Sources button. A widget switched off before stays off

  2. WPZOOM Connect 4.7.4

  3. WPZOOM Connect 4.7.3

    • Minor fixes

  4. WPZOOM Connect 4.7.2

    • NEW: AI Chat can now sit in the Click to Chat launcher alongside WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger and Viber — visitors ask the AI first and still have a one-tap way to reach a person. Its own floating bubble hides, so there is still only one button in the corner.
    • The new channel also works when the standalone Yamidoo plugin runs the chat
    • NEW: Click to Chat buttons now show a label on hover, on the side facing the page, and each label can be edited in the settings (defaults to the platform name)
    • Fixed: the AI Chat channel could not be switched on while the Yamidoo plugin had its own bubble turned off. Connected is enough now — the launcher loads the chat itself and keeps the bubble hidden
    • With AI Chat as a channel, Yamidoo’s floating messages keep working (needs the current Yamidoo widget; older builds fall back to hiding the whole widget)
    • Click to Chat warns when the Yamidoo chat bubble and the launcher would both show on the front end, with a one-click way to fold the chat into the launcher
    • NEW: the AI Chat channel button can use a plain chat icon instead of the Yamidoo mark — eight to choose from, on the Click to Chat tab
    • Redrawn the Click to Chat launcher icons: a single matching set of nine open and four close icons, replacing the old Font Awesome 3 and Dashicons mix. The close icon is lighter, and the launcher no longer loads an icon font. Existing sites keep their choice and are moved to the equivalent new icon.

  5. WPZOOM Connect 4.7.1

    • NEW: Customer data for Easy Digital Downloads and WooCommerce — orders, licenses and subscriptions next to the conversation, and account answers for logged-in customers
    • AI Chat credentials are encrypted in the database; suggested privacy policy text under Settings → Privacy

  6. WPZOOM Connect 4.7.0

    • NEW: AI Chat — the floating chat button can now answer visitors itself, from your own pages, and hand off to a human when needed (powered by Yamidoo, a WPZOOM product). Optional and off until you connect.
    • NEW: Support Readiness Scan in the Click to Chat settings — see the questions your visitors are likely to ask, answered from your content, before turning anything on
    • Click to Chat: the launcher steps aside while AI Chat is on (configurable)
    • NEW: One-click connect to Yamidoo (no API keys)

  7. WPZOOM Connect 4.6.3

    • Fixed Font Size, Line Height and spacing options not working in the Social Sharing Buttons block

  8. WPZOOM Connect 4.6.2

    • Click to Chat: WhatsApp button now uses the universal wa.me link, which opens the WhatsApp app directly on phones and computers instead of the WhatsApp Web login page

  9. WPZOOM Connect 4.6.1

    • Minor fixes

  10. WPZOOM Connect 4.6.0
