Thrive Themes Changelog

All Thrive Themes Products

Security Enhancements: This update includes important security improvements. As always, we recommend the latest version of our plugins to ensure you receive access to our newest features, product education, and security enhancements.

Thrive Architect

• Editor Loading Fix: Thrive Architect now opens correctly even when the global colors option is missing or corrupted.
• Footer Vertical Position: The footer’s Vertical Position setting now applies and saves correctly.
• Help Tooltips: The in-editor help tooltips now open correctly — no more console errors or endless loading — and link to the current documentation.
• Social Follow X Link: X no longer disappears from the Social Follow element when its Dynamic link is set to Author.

Thrive Theme Builder

• Inherit Font Setting: The Content Area’s Typography “Inherit” setting now persists after you save your template.
• Link Trailing Slashes: Author and date archive links now include the trailing slash for consistent URLs.

Thrive Leads

• Impression Tracking Accuracy: Impressions are now counted only when a form is actually visible on screen, so your analytics and A/B test data reflect real views.
• Turnstile Widget Fix: The Cloudflare Turnstile widget no longer appears twice on Lead Generation forms when Lazy Load is enabled.

Thrive Quiz Builder

• ConvertKit Quiz Answer Tags: Numeric quiz answer tags (like “2024”) are now applied correctly to your Kit (ConvertKit) subscribers.
• Impression Tracking Accuracy: Quiz splash page impressions are now counted only when the page is actually visible on screen, for more accurate analytics.

Thrive Apprentice

• PayPal Checkout Options: PayPal checkout now respects your Card and Google Pay visibility toggles, and the card form stays collapsed until the buyer chooses it.
• One Welcome Email Per Purchase: Buying a bundle or membership now sends a single welcome email listing every included course, instead of one email per course. Existing customers also receive a welcome email when a new course is added to their product.
• Certificate Download Fix: The Download Certificate button no longer logs browser errors, and certificates with missing size settings now generate as proper full-page PDFs.
• Certificate Names After Duplication: Duplicated course certificates and completion pages now pick up the new course name when you rename the course.
• Square Payment Stability: Square payment processing no longer triggers a critical error when API credentials are missing or invalid.

Thrive Ultimatum

• Impression Tracking Accuracy: Campaign widget and shortcode impressions are now counted only when they’re actually visible on screen, for more accurate analytics.

Thrive Comments

• Dismissible Admin Notice: The “Thrive Comments is ready to use” notice can now be dismissed — and it stays dismissed.

Thrive Dashboard

• Google Drive Uploads: Lead Generation file uploads now work with Shared Drives and manually created folders — no more “File not found” errors. Action required: reconnect your Google Drive connection under Thrive Dashboard → API Connections so the new permissions take effect.
• ConvertKit Quiz Answer Tags: Numeric quiz answer tags (like “2024”) are now applied correctly to your Kit (ConvertKit) subscribers.

Thrive Product Manager

• Product Description Formatting: Product descriptions on the processing screen no longer show stray spaces, and “WordPress” is spelled correctly throughout.

• Security Improvements: This release includes security and stability improvements to keep your site protected.

Because this update includes security improvements, we recommend updating as soon as possible.

Thrive Apprentice

• Accept PayPal Payments Directly: You can now take PayPal payments natively in Thrive Apprentice, alongside Stripe and Square, without routing sales through a third-party checkout.
• Connect PayPal From Your Dashboard: Connect and disconnect your PayPal account from Settings > Payments > PayPal, with per-account connection status, a payment-method capability grid, and guidance if your PayPal email still needs confirming.
• Embedded PayPal Checkout: Buyers can purchase one-time products through an embedded PayPal checkout, paying with their PayPal balance or card (including guest checkout), without leaving your course page.
• PayPal Subscriptions: Sell recurring access with PayPal subscriptions, including automatic renewals, a grace period for failed payments, and automatic access revocation once retries are exhausted.
• Free Trials for Subscriptions: Offer a free-trial period on PayPal subscriptions, so buyers get access for a set number of days before their first payment is taken.
• Buyers Can Cancel Their Own Subscription: Members can cancel their PayPal subscription themselves from the front end.
• Subscriptions on the Edit Member Screen: PayPal subscriptions appear as a single grouped entry on the Edit Member screen, with trial and subscription badges and an expandable charge history.
• Google Pay & Venmo: Buyers can pay with Google Pay in the PayPal checkout, and the Venmo button now follows its checkout-method toggle.
• Pay Later Messaging: Eligible buyers see PayPal Pay Later messaging on the product page and in the checkout when their PayPal account supports it.
• Checkout Method Controls: Choose which payment methods appear at checkout, and the card form is collapsed by default and expands when a buyer selects it.
• Refund From the Order Admin: You can issue a full PayPal refund directly from a member’s access screen; refunding removes the member’s access and cancels any linked subscription.
• PayPal Debug ID in Orders: PayPal transactions now record and display PayPal’s Debug ID in the order admin, so support can locate any transaction in PayPal’s logs.
• Clean Wind-Down on Disconnect: Disconnecting PayPal cleanly winds down active subscriptions: they are cancelled at the end of their current billing period, and you are shown how many will be affected before you confirm.

Thrive Leads

• Refresh From Cloud: A new “Refresh from cloud” button lets you re-fetch opt-in form templates on demand, so newly available templates show up right away instead of waiting for the cached list to update.

Security Improvements

• Security Improvements: This release includes security and stability improvements to keep your site protected.
