0.5.9 · Cart displays refresh after wishlist actions
After a confirmed wishlist-to-cart addition, WooCommerce Classic cart fragments and the Blocks cart display refresh to show the updated cart. This includes Free individual-item additions and Pro selected-item or whole-list actions, including confirmed successes in partial or recovered batches.
Cart writes are not repeated to refresh the display. If an action has an uncertain result, check the cart and use the existing recovery controls before starting another action.
Use the matching Free 0.5.9 and Pro 0.5.9 pair. Pro 0.5.9 requires Free 0.5.9 or a compatible newer 0.5.x release below 0.6.0. Update Free first, then Pro, without uninstalling.
WordPress 6.7+, PHP 8.2+ and a compatible WooCommerce 10.0+ release remain required. Selected guest and signed-in Classic/Blocks flows were tested on WordPress 6.7 with WooCommerce 10.3.8 and WordPress 7.1.4 with WooCommerce 10.3.8 and 11.2.2, all on PHP 8.2.34. Store-specific theme and integration testing remains important.

0.5.8 · WordPress 6.7 support and refreshed screenshots
WishlistGenius Free 0.5.8 is available on WordPress.org. It supports WordPress 6.7+ and keeps PHP 8.2+ as the minimum PHP requirement.
Version 0.5.8 was tested on WordPress 6.7 with PHP 8.2 and WooCommerce 10.3.8. Use a WooCommerce release that supports your WordPress version; newer WooCommerce releases can require newer WordPress.
This release refreshes the WordPress.org screenshots, banners, readme captions and bundled static Pro examples. Report descriptions distinguish current owner identifiers from verified unique people. Existing wishlist, cart, privacy and licensing behavior is preserved; no database migration is introduced.
Matching Pro 0.5.8 is available through protected customer downloads. Update Free first, then Pro, without uninstalling. Read the download and update guide.
0.5.7 · Guest loading and cart reliability
Shared session reads reduce overlapping requests from header counts, save buttons and the wishlist. Stalled requests are bounded, host retry delays are respected and shoppers can explicitly retry after an error. Cart writes are not automatically repeated. Unavailable database cart locks are distinguished from temporary contention.
This entry describes the 0.5.7 release. For the latest Free and Pro versions, check the current download and update guide. Read the current download and update guide.
0.5.6 · Saved-state and editing improvements
Saved buttons use a filled icon, clear label and accessible state; membership refreshes when returning to a page. Search counts identify matching saved selections. Private-note and other PATCH updates preserve their request bodies through WordPress method override, including in WordPress Playground, while retaining version and ownership checks.
0.5.5 · Privacy and retention corrections
Failed personal-data erasure returns an error instead of skipping a failed page or marking the request complete. Purchase-suppression failures no longer interrupt WooCommerce order-status changes; persisted work is retried during retention cleanup. Shorter guest-retention settings also cap existing guest expiry. A complete storage outage can prevent retry work from being stored.
