What’s new in Sticky Links 5.0
This release fixes two issues with how sticky links save and display, and includes general security hardening.
Sticky link reliability
- Saving a sticky link no longer triggers a fatal error when the linked widget’s text content is an array.
- ID-based sticky links now render correctly on the frontend for Toolset Archives pages.
Security
- This release includes security hardening.
Fixed in Sticky Links 5.1.0
This release changes how Sticky Links treats a link whose target page was deleted.
Links to deleted pages
- A link to a deleted page is hidden only where a visitor sees the page, so your saved content and its translations keep the link as you wrote it.
- “Revert links to permalinks” writes back a link to a deleted page as it was, instead of removing it from the content.
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.
