Changelog

This release makes navigation caching more reliable and improves compatibility with other WPML components.

Navigation caching and rendering

  • Editing a page’s offsite URL now immediately updates the navigation cache, so menus reflect the change right away.
  • Fixed a fatal error that could occur when the navigation cache was enabled.
  • Removed a PHP warning that appeared when rendering navigation on a fresh install.
  • The navigation sidebar now loads faster, especially on sites with many pages.

Compatibility and stability

  • Fixed a fatal error that could occur when an outdated version of WPML String Translation was active.
  • CMS Navigation now checks companion plugin versions consistently, preventing crashes caused by outdated versions.
  • Fixed an issue where translated private posts were missing from results returned during scheduled (cron) tasks.

Settings

  • Removed the legacy removed-languages table from Settings → Languages, leaving the new Removed languages panel as the only place to manage them.

Security

  • This release includes security hardening.

Update or download

The update is available to all WPML clients with an active subscription — it appears on the Plugins page in your WordPress admin within 24 hours of release. You can also check for it right away under Plugins → Add New Plugin → Commercial. To download and install manually, go to Downloads in your wpml.org account (see the installation instructions) and remember to update all components together without mixing versions.
