2532
2533 * **[IMPROVED in Pro] Content Management >> Custom Content Types >> Custom Field Groups**: "This is a required field" validation now works properly for File, Radio and Checkbox fields, while removing it from the True False field, as an empty checkbox is a valid value as well. Props to Michael S. for testing and reporting this.
2534
2535 * **[IMPROVED in Pro] Utilities >> Maintenance Mode**: add an option to set the title of the maintenance page, which is visible in browser tab title. Props to Gálik J. for the suggestion.

2651

2683
2684 * **[FIXED][Free][Pro] Security >> Limit Login Attempts**: fixed an issue where lockout is not effecive after reaching the limit of failed login attempts and being shown the lockout screen. Reloading the lockout screen would simply show the login form again, even when lockout period is not over yet. This happens only when using default login URL at /wp-login.php. Props to [](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dywoo02/@dywoo02](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dywoo02/](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dywoo02/) for [](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/limit-login-attempts-limit-login-attempts-and-correct-access-data/reporting this](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/limit-login-attempts-limit-login-attempts-and-correct-access-data/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/limit-login-attempts-limit-login-attempts-and-correct-access-data/) and doing a thorough investigative work.

2685
2686 * **[FIXED][Free][Pro] Log In/Out & Register >> Change Login URL**: undo a change in v6.5.1 that was returning the custom login URL for wp_login_url().

2695

2697
2698 * **[FIXED][Free][Pro] Log In/Out & Register >> Change Login URL**: when a user is logged-in and attempt to visit the custom login URL, the user was being logged out and redirected to the login page.
