Changelog
v7.2.8 – 2026-09-05
- Fix: Premium gateways like Twilio save without being rejected.
- Fix: The United States stays selected as your default country code (#535).
- Fix: The setup wizard makes the United States easy to find (#522).
- Enhancement: Subscription errors can include safe SMS, email, and web actions (#533).
v7.2.7 – 2026-08-08
- Fix: Translations work again on WordPress 6.7+.
- Fix: A number isn’t added to your subscriber list when its confirmation SMS fails (#514).
- Fix: A half-finished update no longer takes the site down.
- Fix: Forminator notifications now work whether or not the form uses AJAX submission. A form with AJAX turned off reloads the page when submitted, which Forminator handles through a different path, and WSMS was only listening to the AJAX one. The form saved the entry and sent the admin email but no SMS, which looked like a broken gateway (ticket #17353).
- Fix: No SMS is sent when Forminator rejects a submission.
- Fix: The Forminator settings screen lists all forms, not just the first 20.
- Enhancement: Forminator settings show each form’s ID and save per form.
- Enhancement: WSMS records why an SMS was skipped for spam or abandoned submissions (#509).
v7.2.6 – 2026-07-30
- New: Added the LogisticSMS gateway
- New: Added the
wpsms_unsubscribe_success_messagefilter to customize the newsletter unsubscribe confirmation message, with the unsubscribed group passed to the filter for both the unsubscribe form and the unsubscribe link. - Enhancement: The Two-Way SMS settings page now shows the alternative path-style webhook URL for gateways that drop the query string, and links to the Two-Way SMS documentation and the setup guide for the connected gateway.
- Enhancement: General security hardening across admin endpoints, subscriber and newsletter handling, gateway connections, and data exports.
- Enhancement: Choosing a gateway now saves on its own, so switching provider no longer needs a second click on Save Changes.
- Enhancement: Toggle switches across the settings pages now share one consistent style.
- Fix: Fixed dashboard labels that translators could not reach on WordPress.org, so the admin can now be fully translated.
- Fix: A gateway that fails to load no longer breaks the whole admin screen; the credit balance is simply left blank.
- Fix: Fixed Forminator notifications configured to send SMS to a submitted phone field.
- Fix: Fixed Raw JSON custom gateway payloads when placeholder values start or end with quotation marks.
- Fix: Fixed the billing phone number being silently dropped when a WooCommerce order or profile is re-saved.
v7.2.5 – 2026-05-19
- Fix: Fixed missing field placeholder chips in the Quform integration message body.
- Fix: Fixed
[wp_sms_subscriber_form]shortcode showing an empty group list when “Available groups” is blank; it now falls back to all groups. - Enhancement: Improved the custom gateway with multi-line HTTP Headers/Parameters, a Raw JSON body format, and array values for APIs that require nested structures.
v7.2.4 – 2026-03-15
- New: Added credit balance support for the GuniSMS gateway.
- Fix: Updated EaziSMSpro gateway to use the new API endpoint.
- Fix: Fixed some dashboard strings that were not translatable.
- Fix: Fixed the “Configure now” link in the Default Country Code admin notice not navigating to the correct settings page.
- Fix: Fixed Cellsynt gateway SMS delivery failure by converting E.164 phone numbers.
v7.2.3 – 2026-03-09
