BigCommerce for WordPress 4.20.0 for Nov 8, 2021

4.20.0

View release 4.20.0 on GitHub

Changed

  • Update the cart total when QTY is updated

  • Update total button click while calculating shipping will update the total price.

Fixed

  • Fixed issue that occurred when webhooks option is enabled during the onboarding process. BC4WP will now check if a webhook already exists and return its ID instead of trying to recreate it.

  • Fixed error occurring while plugin activation. The problem was caused by handling the property on an empty object

  • Fixed bccustomervisibleterms value issue. Previously WP_Error could be set as the transient value and cause issues on the storefront. Currently, when an error occurs, an empty value will be saved to transient.

  • Fixed the inventory updates via webhook. The inventory level should be updated when it is changed on the BC side whether a product or variant tracking is enabled.

  • Fixed product images switch when the user selects the variant. The corresponding image of the variant will be displayed.

4.19.1

View release 4.19.1 on GitHub

Changed

  • Added ability to set the max file size for the import log. Before each import starts, the log size is measured, and if the size exceeds the limit, it will be truncated. The default log size is 25MB. To change defaults, go to Setting > Diagnostics. Find and update the 'Log file max size' field.

Fixed

  • Fixed the 'New/Updated since last sync' import. The import will pull new products as well as update existing ones. Previously the 'New/Updated since last sync' updated existing products only.

  • Added ability to see product sync log errors descriptions on the Diagnostic tab

  • Settings > Diagnostics > Product Sync Log sync statistics are displayed in the table separately for multiple channels.

  • Fixed 'Auto' sync behavior with enabled multi-channel support. Added a filter bigcommerce/channels/map-products-to-all-channels filter defaulted to false

    • When multi-channel is enabled, the filter is false, and auto-sync is enabled: sync imports products connected to each channel only.

    • When that multi-channel is enabled, the filter is true, and auto-sync is enabled: newly added products to the catalog will sync to all connected channels.
