New: Logout Button
We’re excited to announce that WP Discussion Boards now includes a new feature that lets admins add separate login and logout buttons, making it easier for users to log out without needing to go through the comment section of topics. This update simplifies user management and enhances the overall experience for your site.
The case is our users have reported difficulty finding the logout option, as it’s currently only available in the comment section.
In response, the WPDB team has added a more accessible logout button to our login widget for easier access.
We’ve also published a step-by-step tutorial on how to use the login/logout widget.
Tweak: External Video Embedding
We have introduced an enhancement that allows users to embed external videos in addition to adding images, which was previously the only option. With this update, users can now embed videos by pasting the video’s link. This feature aims to improve content flexibility and presentation without requiring users to upload or host videos directly.
The following comment includes a YouTube link, which is automatically converted into an embedded video on the main page. Please see the screenshots below for reference.
