This update fixes two small but annoying issues and tightens up things behind the scenes.

What’s Fixed

• Video analytics and email capture now record correctly on sites running Presto Player Pro, ensuring your analytics and lead collection remain accurate.
• Instant Video Page visibility now saves correctly even when the block editor’s Custom Fields panel is enabled.
• LearnDash video progression now works properly when the Presto Player shortcode is nested inside another shortcode.
• Popups no longer open unexpectedly when the Enter key is pressed elsewhere on the page.
• Email capture now automatically recovers from an expired security token on cached pages, improving reliability for visitors.
• Pages no longer break or become unresponsive when a Presto Player shortcode references a deleted Media Hub video.

What’s Improved

• We’ve continued improving the stability and reliability of Presto Player by fixing edge cases, strengthening compatibility with popular WordPress workflows, and refining the overall user experience.

That’s it for this release. Small fixes, but they make a real difference in day-to-day use.

This update fixes two small but annoying issues and tightens up things behind the scenes.

What’s Fixed

• When you add a self-hosted or HLS video using a URL, the title now shows up clean and readable. No more messy raw URLs staring back at you.
• FluentCRM email capture now works the way it should. Emails are collected reliably every time, so you won’t miss out on leads.

What’s Improved

• We added more internal test coverage and cleaned up the code a bit. You won’t see this directly, but it means fewer bugs sneaking in down the line.

We’ve released a small but important update for Presto Player Pro. Here’s what’s new:

Security
We made several improvements behind the scenes to keep your site safer. Nothing you need to do, just extra protection running quietly in the background.

Fixed: Automatic updates
On some sites, automatic updates were failing, which meant you had to update Presto Player manually. This is now fixed, so your site should update on its own like it’s supposed to.

Fixed: Analytics charts
If you checked your video analytics for a date range longer than 31 days, the charts would flatten out and stop showing real data. That’s fixed now too, so your charts will show accurate numbers no matter how far back you look.

That’s it for this release. As always, if anything looks off after updating, our support team is happy to help.

Divi 5 users, we’ve got you covered. Presto Player now has a native module built just for the new Divi 5 builder. Drop into your video player without any extra setup or workarounds. It just works.

We’ve also tightened up security across the board with multiple hardening improvements, so your site stays safe and your videos keep playing smoothly.

What’s new:

• Native Divi 5 module support – Add the Presto Player video player directly inside Divi 5, no plugins or extra steps needed.
• Security improvements – multiple under-the-hood fixes to keep your site secure.

This release is all about making things work better under the hood. No new features this time, but two solid improvements that keep Presto Player running smoothly with the latest versions of WordPress.

Improvements:

• Migrated to Block API v3 for better compatibility and performance with the WordPress block editor.
• Reworked editor styling for a faster, more reliable editing experience.

This is a housekeeping release. No new features, but a handful of fixes and improvements that make Presto Player more reliable, more accessible to non-English users, and fully in line with WordPress.org plugin guidelines.

Improvement:

• Presto Player now meets the latest WordPress.org plugin guidelines, with additional hardening from the Plugin Check tool.

Fixes:

• Admin interface strings now load their translations correctly. If you use Presto Player in a language other than English, text in the admin area will now show up properly translated.
• The dashboard navigation tabs and the Actions column header in Media Hub are now fully translatable.

A tiny but useful update — the readme now reads better with some formatting improvements under the hood.

Improvements:

• Formatting improvements to the readme.
