We made updates to several Default Widgets this week. If you have customized any of these widgets and would like to update your customized widget, you can find the latest code in the corresponding Default Widget. Please remember that if you have a custom version of any of these widgets, our latest updates have not been pushed to your website.


  • We fixed an issue which was preventing the Export Member Data Add-On from exporting custom fields whose name starts with a number.

  • We created a new Advanced Setting called "Enable Lazy Load Images". Enabling this setting will activate the lazy load feature for images and improve page load times.  Currently this setting will only impact the homepage of sites, but will be applied to other pages as well in future updates.
