SocialEngine Self-Hosted 6.4.4 Maintenance Release

SocialEngine PHP 6.4.4 release

We are pleased to announce the release of SocialEngine Self-Hosted 6.4.4! This maintenance release addresses bugs posted by members of our community and staff.

Bugs Fixed:

  • Fixed – Inspira theme menus are not aligned on fresh install.
  • Fixed – Re-enabling the Inspira theme causes multiple widgets to be placed in the header and footer.
  • Fixed – When the Inspira theme is installed, and then the Sunshine theme is installed, the Footer Menu widget is not placed in the footer.
  • Fixed – When enabling the Inspira, Sunshine, or Serenity Theme, the Landing Page Setting should be set to “No”.
  • Fixed – When any other theme (except Elpis) is enabled on the website and then the Sunshine theme is enabled, then the already installed theme is not disabled. But when I disable that theme manually, then the Elpis theme is enabled automatically.
  • Fixed – Elpis landing page not loading Elpis widgets after changing from Inspira.
  • Fixed – Groups breaking in 6.4.3 with links in the group feed.
  • Fixed Issues with RTL:
    • In the admin panel Statistics, the chart and the dots below are not aligned well.
    • In the layout editor when selecting edit columns, it shows the wrong columns layout in the patterns collections. 
    • The HTML section should be left-to-right direction. 
    • Since the Theme Editor is CSS code, it should be LTR direction regardless of language.
  • Fixed – Log Error is coming on 0 value for billing cycle in membership plan.
  • Fixed – UI on requests page needed improvement.
  • Fixed – First paragraph in Performance and Caching page in admin hard coded.
  • Fixed – Profile info widget cutting text for multi-lingual sites.
  • Fixed – Adding a title to a link in the editor is not being saved.
  • Fixed – Russian language breaks in network manager.
