1. Make sure you updated also plugins (Listeo Core, Listeo Editor, and Listeo Elementor)
2. Clear your website’s cache and hosting cache after the update
2.2.4
New
- Calendar view in Listings > Bookings that shows bookings by month, week or agenda, with the same listing, status, client, owner and resource filters as the list. It loads up to 500 bookings at a time, hides cancelled and expired bookings unless you pick that status in the filter, and shades owner-blocked days when one listing is filtered.
- "Region base" field in Settings > Permalinks to replace `/region/` with your own word. Leave it empty to keep current URLs.
- Setting "Resize images before upload (max px)" in Listeo Core > Submit Listing (default 2560): gallery photos larger than this are scaled down in the browser before upload. Scaled photos are rotated correctly and sent without camera metadata such as GPS position; smaller photos are sent unchanged.
Improved
- The Listeo Core admin menu is grouped under Settings, Tools, Add-ons and Licenses headings.
- "Listeo Ads" is now called "Promotions" in all text (menus, dashboard, settings, product type "Listing Promotion", widget "Listeo Promoted Listings").
- OpenStreetMap tiles load from tile.openstreetmap.org directly instead of the old a/b/c subdomains. Custom tile servers are not affected.
- Date range search reads dates correctly on sites with a day-first, text month date format
Updated
- Region, Feature, listing-type category and listing type URL slugs are now in the translation template, so you can translate them in Loco Translate or Poedit.
Fixes
- Gallery uploads no longer create blog, avatar, WooCommerce and extra-large image sizes for every photo, which reduces load and timeouts on shared hosting.
- Failed gallery uploads show a short red error on the image, and the form cannot be submitted while an image is still uploading or has failed.
- Changing any Listeo permalink base (listing, category, region, archive) now takes effect after one save. A region base that collides with another Listeo base is refused with a notice.
- Listings > Bookings filters (status, client, owner, listing, resource) no longer end on "Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page". The Client and Owner dropdowns keep the selection and "Pay to Confirm" now matches bookings.
- The all-listings map no longer freezes after a visitor allows location access with a search radius.
- "Find my location" with OpenStreetMap no longer moves another listing's marker, keeps the zoom level, and works with address suggestions turned off. With Google, the results now refresh.
- The "All published listings" map (Listeo Core > Map Settings > "Map markers source") and clustering work again on HTTPS sites whose WordPress address or upload path is still saved as http.
- Listing descriptions no longer lose their paragraph breaks after being edited in the WordPress block editor and then in the dashboard. Existing listings display correctly without changes to stored data.
- Removing an image from the gallery uploader now really removes it from the listing, and deletes it if it was not saved with any listing yet.
2.2.3
New
- Search by category name. The keyword box can now also match the names of your categories, features, regions or any custom taxonomy you choose, so searching for a category name returns the listings filed under it even when the word appears nowhere in the listing itself. Listeo Core > Browse/Search Options > "Search taxonomy names". Off by default.
- Address filters. Country, State / County, City and Postcode detected from a listing's address are now available as search fields in Listeo Editor > Search Forms. The detected address itself moved into the Location tab of the listing, next to the map.
- Pay For Time ad campaigns. A new campaign type charging for a period of display rather than per view or per click, with a configurable price per day and minimum and maximum duration.
- Fallback package. Listing packages can now specify where listings go when the package expires ("When listings on this package expire, move them to:"), instead of simply expiring.
- Custom SMS gateways. The SMS Providers screen now links to a guide for connecting your own SMS or WhatsApp gateway.
Improved
- The "Open Now" filter is back in Listeo Editor > Search Forms and now works on every layout, including the half-map and load-more views, with a correct result count and pagination. Only listings with Opening Hours switched on take part, matching the "Open Now" badge on the cards, and each listing is judged in its own time zone.
- Number settings accept a comma as the decimal separator. A price typed as "0,15" used to be submitted as empty on browsers whose language expects a full stop, so it saved as blank with no warning.
- The Minimal Search Form widget has a new "Search Button Text" control.
Fixes
- Reviews posted by signed-in users were moved to the trash while the author was shown an "awaiting moderation" page. Blog comments from signed-in users were affected in the same way.
- A guest review rejected by the CAPTCHA was reported back as "awaiting approval", so the visitor never saw the error.
- Moderating a comment could log a PHP 8 warning and store an empty rating, which quietly removed the listing from the "Minimum Rating" search filter.
- With AJAX browsing disabled, changing the sort order still sent an AJAX request: results came back as page one while the address stayed on /page/2/ and the pager stopped working.
- "Best Match" could not be selected at all, and the two price sort orders did nothing on the listing archive.
- Searching for more than one word matched listings containing only one of them: "senior care" returned everything mentioning "care".
- With Maps Provider set to None, WordPress 6.9.1 logged a dependency warning on every page view.
- A Drilldown field placed in the panel column of a fullwidth or boxed home search form printed raw template code onto the page.
- Booking notifications were sent before the booking was saved, so a cancelled or racing change could still send emails, SMS and create a Zoom meeting for a booking that never changed status.
- A free booking approved with "Approve Booking" never got its Zoom meeting, while the same booking marked through "Confirm Payment" did. Zoom meetings can also no longer be created twice for one booking.
- Listing owners received the "listing expired" email twice.
2.2.2
New
- Owners Grid and Owners Carousel Elementor widgets for displaying listing owners.
- Built-in breadcrumbs with an option to hide them in page title bars. Breadcrumb NavXT is now optional.
- Configurable booking tax display: show prices including tax or display taxes as separate items.
- Option to calculate booking taxes based on the listing location using WooCommerce tax rates.
- Automatic listing address detection, manual address editing and tools to fill missing tax locations.
- Option to mark additional fees as non-taxable and exclude taxes and pass-through fees from commission calculations.
- New booking email tags: {price_total}, {tax_total}, {payment_method}, {tickets_breakdown}, {price_incl_tax} and {tax_note}.
Improved
- Improved Owners Directory layout, responsive filters, profile fields and contact forms.
- Service selections now stay synchronized between pricing cards and the Booking Plus popup, including individual services.
- Consistent tax-inclusive totals and tax information across booking forms, booking dashboards and QR tickets.
- Contact popups prevent repeated messages until the recipient replies. Messages related to a shared booking remain exempt.
Updated
- CMB2 Field Slider is no longer listed as a required plugin.
Fixes
- Fixed the pricing and bookable services editor layout on mobile devices.
- Hidden unnecessary booking settings in pricing forms when bookings are disabled.
- Removed artificial “Category 1” tabs for uncategorized services and fixed their visibility in mixed pricing menus.
- Fixed Elementor Taxonomy Grid losing the selection order of categories and listing types.
- Disabling enhanced admin screens now also restores standard WordPress category, feature and region screens.
- Fixed coupon calculations with WooCommerce taxes and non-taxable fees.
- Removed the misleading “Qty” column from booking order payment pages.
- Purethemes MCP: fixed connections failing after OAuth when another plugin modifies REST JSON responses.
Security
- Strengthened encryption for newly saved or refreshed Zoom credentials and newly created meeting host links and passcodes.
- Disconnecting a Zoom account now requests token revocation.
- Zoom Marketplace connections require explicit confirmation before linking an account.
2.2.1
New
- Additional safety layer for listing submission and the user-profile file handler
- Optional failed-login lockout blocks logins after repeated failures on the Listeo login popup, wp-login.php and XML-RPC
- Owners Directory: public, filterable directory of listing owners via the [listeo_owners] shortcode
- Option to use self-hosted Nominatim and OpenStreetMap tile servers
- Verified column in Users > All Users and optional auto-verification of users who buy a package
- New setting to show website and social links while contact details are hidden
- New calendar on single listing Availability section
Improved
- Shared reCAPTCHA v3 verification listeo_core_verify_recaptcha_v3() replaces five separate implementations; one token per form (register, booking, claim, review, login)
- Drilldown/taxonomy menus: labels no longer show entities, terms sorted by name unless a term_order column exists
- Hidden conversations: Restore conversation is a visible button again
- Improvements for font icons
Updated
- Pricing section: category tabs when there are several menus, card layout per item, lazy-loaded images
- Google Reviews section: card carousel with arrows and avatars/initials
- Features list rendered as cards
- Listing reviews rendered as cards with header/footer
- Redesigned POI cards
Fixes
- Fixes the review form captcha
Changes
- New Features
2.2.0
Security
- Hardened dashboard booking status changes.
- Booking confirmation verifies a nonce and validates guest, ticket and extra-service quantities. (Child themes that override `booking.php` must add the new `listeo_booking_nonce` field.)
- Additional validation for public single-listing calendars and calendar booking-detail requests
- iCal subscriptions secured with per-listing random private tokens, optional guest details (off by default), private-link rotation and a control to disable legacy links (still served, availability-only, through the updated theme).
- Removed the legacy remote license-command endpoint and its init hook.
New
- New "Enhanced listings screen in wp-admin" setting (General > Listing Management, on by default). Turning it off restores the standard WordPress list table on Listings > All Listings, including the regular publish-date column and sorting
- New "Custom field search relation" setting: AND/OR when a search matches several values of the same custom field. Previous behaviour stays the default. Filter: `listeo_custom_field_search_relation`.
- New filters for add-ons extending the event booking widget: `listeo_event_booking_closed_notice`, `listeo_booking_confirmation_fee_subtotal`.
- "Listing Type" (`_listing_type`) is available in the widget Display Condition and the Theme Builder template Condition, e.g. show the booking widget only for "accommodations".
Updated
- Reordered the listing editor's Booking options into logical groups (booking and payment, prices, guests, children, pets, fees, tickets, time slots, hourly booking, availability)
- "Expire listing after event date" did not expire events whose date had been edited: the timestamp was computed from the date saved before the edit. It is now recomputed after all listing meta is written, and removed when the date is cleared.
- the "Store Settings" section of the frontend listing form is hidden from users whose package does not include Dokan store access when "Restrict Dokan Store to Packages Only" is on.
Fixes
- Fixes for map bounds search after panning or zooming and then searching a different location
- wp-admin availability calendar showed "NaN" and unlabeled buttons (missing calendar strings); fixed unreadable "Set Price" button colors in the price dialog.
- Header Builder: custom button settings could be discarded on save or preset apply.
- Header Builder: new elements were visible on every screen size instead of the one being edited, and toggling visibility could move an element. Both fixed.
2.1.9
New
- Single listing fullwidth photo layout and listing gallery mode
- Light/dark/auto color scheme option for Google Maps
Fixes
- Datepicker on events fields
- Displaying prices after tax calculations in booking confirmation
- Fatal Dokan error on post_date_column_time
Updated
- Option to disable marker clusters on map
2.1.8
New
- Includes Listeo Notifications that adds WhatsApp and Web Push notifications alongside SMS, with scheduled booking reminders and customizable user preferences.
2.1.7
New
- Combined region and category URLs option (Listeo Core -> General Settings, next to the existing region+feature option)
- Prevent overlapping time-picker bookings option (Listeo Settings -> Booking)
Improved
- Free listing packages no longer require going through the WooCommerce checkout
- All Listings on Map markers now use the category icon, like the regular map does.
Updated
- Review criteria requested without a listing context now use the configured global criteria instead of theme defaults
Fixes
- Sidebar ads on category/region filter
- Changing account password could redirect to the wrong page (or a broken URL) on multilingual sites.
- Date/time picker fields loaded into the page after the initial load (for example custom fields that only appear once a listing type or term is chosen) did not save their value.
- The dashboard "Your Reviews" box was hidden from owner-type roles even when they had written reviews themselves.
- Bug when renewing listing with new package could use 2 slots
- A customer who kept a listing page open could submit a booking for a time slot or hour that had already passed.
Security
- Several small security related fixes
2.1.6
New
- Listeo Header Builder: drag-and-drop visual header editor with multiple presets and per-page overrides.
- Developer hook listeo_after_package_price on the pricing package selection step.
- Timezone field now available on the pricing package step of Submit Listing.
Fixes
- Admins and editors can open pending listings on the front end for review instead of getting a 404.
- Zoom meeting invitations now use the listing's own timezone.
- The "Choose Listing Type & Category" drilldown selection is preserved when half-map AJAX results refresh.
- Cloudflare Turnstile now reliably renders in the login/register popup.
- Combined taxonomy URLs no longer risk exhausting PHP memory on sites with many regions.
- A page whose slug collides with a feature slug now correctly falls back to that page.
- Pausing a Listing Package Subscription no longer strips listing package metadata.
- reCAPTCHA v3 now works again on all forms that use it.
- Event listings with an end date no longer disappear on the event day.
2.1.5
New
- Features
- Full-page split screen design for the Login/Registration popup and the dedicated login page (Settings -> General -> "Login/Registration Form Design"): shows a customizable image or color-gradient panel next to the form, with optional overlay text.
- Listings without an uploaded logo can now show the owner's profile avatar instead (Settings -> Single Listing -> "Use owner avatar as listing logo fallback").
- Split Grid/Content with sidebar (No Map) archive layout: browse listings and filters side by side without a map, with AJAX browsing support.
Improved
- On category pages and preset searches using the "All Listings on Map" option, the full set of map markers now loads right away instead of briefly showing unfiltered markers first.
- Large category filter trees now load faster: big branches are fetched on demand (with hover-preloading) while smaller ones still load instantly.
Fixes
- Fixed a rare issue where saving a WooCommerce listing package product (e.g. right after a plugin update, or via a script) could reset the package's modules, limits and other settings back to defaults if the package configuration screen hadn't fully loaded. Also fixed the package's subscription type sometimes reverting to the default "Package" option instead of saving your choice.
- Fixed "Upcoming events" sorting timing out or returning broken/empty results on sites with a moderate number of event listings; sorting is now much faster and no longer slows down as listings grow. Also fixed the "upcoming events" filter being ignored when combined with custom field filters.
- Fixed the "Load More" button spinning indefinitely on archive pages when the map's "All published listings" option was enabled. That option's map data also now builds immediately for sites with up to 5,000 listings, instead of waiting on a background task that could be delayed on some hosting setups.
- Fixed category/taxonomy icons showing the wrong color in some places (including the Elementor hierarchical taxonomy widget).
