| 367 | 364 | |
| 368 | 365 | FireBox includes built-in analytics and revenue attribution for WooCommerce, so you can connect campaigns with real sales outcomes instead of only views or clicks. See our [documentation](https://www.fireplugins.com/docs/?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=pluginlisting&utm_campaign=freepluginwporg) for setup details and best practices. |

| 367 | += Why isn't my PHP display condition or PHP Script running? = | |
| 368 | + | |
| 369 | +Running custom PHP is a powerful, sensitive capability, so FireBox requires a dedicated "run PHP" permission. The PHP in a display condition or PHP Script only runs when the campaign's author has that permission. Administrators have it by default, so campaigns they create work as expected. If a campaign was created by another role (such as an Author) that PHP will not run. An administrator who trusts that role to run code can grant it the permission with a role-editor plugin, or reassign the campaign to an administrator. See our [documentation](https://www.fireplugins.com/docs/?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=pluginlisting&utm_campaign=freepluginwporg) for details. | |

| 370 | 371 | == Changelog == |
| 372 | + | |
| 373 | += 3.1.14 - 02/10/2026 = | |
| 374 | +* Improved security of the "FireBox - Submitted Form" display condition. | |
| 375 | + | |
| 376 | += 3.1.13 - 07/09/2026 = | |
| 377 | +* Improved security across the plugin, including how campaigns are searched, previewed and tracked, how form submissions and integrations are handled, and how visitor information is read. | |
| 378 | +* Improved: your captcha secret keys and MaxMind license key now stay on the server and are no longer shared with the campaign editor. | |
| 379 | +* Improved: the {user.*} Smart Tag now only returns profile details such as name and email. | |
| 380 | +* Improved: stored integration credentials (MailChimp, Brevo, Klaviyo and others) get an extra layer of protection. Existing connections keep working. | |
| 381 | +* Improved: visitor cookies now work correctly on sites served over plain HTTP. | |
| 382 | +* Improved: IP and Geolocation conditions now detect a reverse proxy on your own network automatically. If your site sits behind a CDN that does not pass the visitor's address through to WordPress, the new fpframework/trusted_proxies filter lets you tell FireBox about it. | |
| 383 | +* Improved: the Cloudflare Turnstile and hCaptcha setup notice in the campaign editor now also appears when only the secret key is missing. | |
| 384 | +* Fixed: the Brevo integration failed to load your contact lists. | |
| 385 | + | |
| 386 | += 3.1.12 - 28/08/2026 = | |
| 387 | +* Fixed an issue in the free version where a campaign using Custom JavaScript could cause an error on the front end. | |
| 388 | + | |
| 389 | += 3.1.11 - 26/08/2026 = | |
| 390 | +* Improved compatibility with WP Rocket: FireBox now automatically excludes its files from Delay JavaScript Execution, minification, and Remove Unused CSS, so campaigns keep working without adding manual exclusions in WP Rocket's settings. | |
| 391 | +* Improved security: custom PHP in display conditions and PHP Scripts now runs only for campaigns whose author holds a dedicated "run PHP" permission. Administrators have it by default; other roles cannot run PHP unless you grant them the permission deliberately. | |
| 392 | +* Improved security: custom JavaScript and custom CSS on a campaign now run only for campaigns whose author is allowed to add code. Administrators can by default; other roles cannot add custom code unless you grant them the permission deliberately. Custom CSS is also cleaned so it can't be used to inject anything other than styles. | |
| 393 | +* Improved security: turning a campaign on or off from the campaigns list now checks that you have permission to edit that specific campaign, and only ever changes FireBox campaigns. | |
| 394 | +* Improved security: values taken from the current page address and the referring page now have any code removed before they appear inside a campaign, so a crafted link can't inject content into your campaigns. | |
| 395 | +* Improved security: duplicating a campaign now checks you have permission to edit it, and the copy belongs to whoever created it. | |
| 396 | + | |
| 397 | += 3.1.10 - 18/08/2026 = | |
| 398 | +* WordPress 7.1 compatibility. | |
| 399 | +* Added: a limit on how many times the same visitor can submit a form each minute, so a single visitor can't spam your submissions list. | |
| 400 | +* Improved Multisite support: FireBox now sets itself up on every site of a network, including sites added later, so campaigns, analytics and permissions work without visiting each site first. | |
| 401 | +* Improved Multisite support: campaigns on different sites of a network no longer share cookies, so closing a campaign on one site can't hide a campaign on another. | |
| 402 | +* Improved Multisite support: removing FireBox from a network now clears each site's data according to that site's own "Keep data on uninstall" setting, and deleting a site removes its FireBox data with it. | |
| 403 | +* Improved: cookies now follow your site's WordPress cookie settings, so campaign frequency and analytics keep working on sites that share cookies between www and non-www addresses. | |
| 404 | +* Improved how integration credentials (MailChimp, Brevo, Klaviyo, and others) are stored. | |
| 405 | +* Improved the handling of imported campaigns so their content is cleaned up before it is saved. | |
| 406 | +* Improved how Rating field values are shown in the Submissions list. | |
| 407 | +* Improved: campaigns now use their own set of permissions, so you can give someone access to campaigns without giving them access to all your posts. | |
| 408 | +* Improved the accuracy of conversion and analytics tracking by ignoring invalid or duplicated data. | |
| 409 | +* Improved: connecting or disconnecting an integration now requires administrator access. | |
| 410 | +* Improved how the submissions REST API key is sent and verified. | |
| 411 | +* Improved security when FireBox checks for updates: it now confirms it is really talking to the FirePlugins license server before downloading anything. | |
| 412 | +* Improved: WordPress now offers the auto-update option for FireBox in the Plugins list, instead of saying auto-updates are not available. | |
| 413 | +* Improved privacy: FireBox no longer tells WordPress.org about itself when WordPress checks for plugin updates. | |
| 414 | +* Improved the handling of the {fbExpr} expression feature. | |
| 415 | +* Improved the handling of redirects and messages shown after a form is submitted. | |
| 416 | +* Improved the delete and duplicate actions in the campaigns list. | |
| 417 | +* Improved: page speed for campaigns with custom JavaScript no longer hold up the rest of the page while FireBox loads. Custom code now runs right after your campaigns are ready. | |
| 418 | +* Improved: page speed when serving multiple FireBox campaigns on same page. | |
| 419 | +* Improved: page speed by loading only the animations your campaign uses, instead of the whole animation library. This cuts about 69KB from every page a campaign appears on. | |
| 420 | +* Fixed: page slide campaigns could appear full-height and outside their slide area on some sites. | |
| 421 | +* Fixed: an error that could occur while FireBox was updating itself. | |
| 422 | + | |
| 423 | += 3.1.9 - 16/07/2026 = | |
| 424 | +* Added: a new campaigns list with ability to sort, filter, and manage your campaigns in bulk. | |
| 425 | +* Improved security of visitor cookie handling on campaigns using a daily, weekly, or monthly display frequency. | |
| 426 | +* Improved security of Phone Number values shown in the Submissions list and in admin notification emails. | |
| 427 | +* Improved security of the {post.*} and {cookie.*} Smart Tags, which now strip HTML from their values, matching the {querystring.*} Smart Tag. | |
| 428 | +* Improved: Compatibility of YouTube shorts in the Video block. | |
| 429 | +* Improved: replaced PHP sessions with cookies on the front-end, restoring full-page caching compatibility and fixing the Site Health "active PHP session" warning and REST API loopback timeouts. | |
| 430 | +* Improved: cookies are now only set when a campaign actually needs them (e.g. Pageviews condition). | |
| 431 | +* Improved: the front-end script now loads deferred for faster page rendering. | |
| 432 | +* Improved: campaign and settings lookups are now cached on sites with a persistent object cache. | |
| 433 | +* Improved: WordPress 6.3 compatibility. | |
| 434 | +* Improved: campaign revenue now excludes refunded WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads orders, matching your shop's own analytics. Use the firebox/revenue_attribution/order_total filter to restore gross revenue. | |
| 435 | +* Improved: hardened display-condition, conversion-tracking, geolocation, upgrade, and license handling against unexpected or malformed data. | |
| 436 | +* Fixed: MailChimp integration removed a subscriber's existing tags and interest groups even when "Replace Tags?" was turned off. | |
| 437 | +* Fixed: a campaign containing a Heading, Button, or Paragraph block set to a Google font could fail to render on the front-end in some saved or imported campaigns. | |
| 438 | +* Fixed: submitting a form with an optional Phone Number field, or editing a submission with malformed data, could trigger a PHP error. | |
| 439 | +* Fixed: exporting campaigns via a malformed request could trigger a PHP error before the security check. | |
| 440 | +* Fixed: corrected a build marker in the upgrade routine that could mis-package the Free, Basic, and Growth builds. | |
| 441 | +* Fixed: the Phone Number field appeared unstyled in the block editor due to missing stylesheet. | |
| 442 | +* Fixed: the Performance chart kept a Weekly or Monthly grouping selected after switching to a shorter timeframe that no longer supports it, now falls back to Daily automatically. | |
| 443 | +* Fixed: YouTube videos in the Video block failed to load in the block editor preview with "Error 153". | |
| 444 | +* Fixed: a {cookie.*} Smart Tag referencing a cookie that was not set could blank out the campaign's content. | |
| 445 | +* Removed: the mini onboarding appearing after the first install. | |
| 446 | + | |
| 447 | += 3.1.8 - 15/06/2026 = | |
