When the last digit of a version number changes, we call that version a patch release. Patches fix errors in the code and introduce subtle improvements. That\u2019s why it\u2019s hard to name this update after any specific topic\u2014instead, we advise seeing the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.cs-cart.com\/4.9.x\/history\/493.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">full list of changes in the documentation<\/a>.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><br \/>Here are the most important changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Some countries (China, Congo, Iran) have Google blocked. Previously, if Google reCAPTCHA anti-bot protection was active on your site, customers from these countries couldn\u2019t confirm they weren\u2019t bots. Now the settings of the Google reCAPTCHA add-on allow you to specify exception countries. Your clients from these countries will see another anti-bot test that will work regardless of whether Google is blocked or not.<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cs-cart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image37.png?w=700&#038;ssl=1\"\/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The editor of email notifications allows you to insert documents (for example, order summary) or snippets (specific parts that can be reused in multiple notifications). Now the editing page of every document has the list of email templates where this document is used. Also, the email template editor now has links to the editing pages of documents and snippets.<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cs-cart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image24.png?w=700&#038;ssl=1\"\/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Usually, products in CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor appear in alphabetical order, but you can also <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.cs-cart.com\/4.9.x\/user_guide\/manage_products\/categories\/sorting_products_by_position.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">display products in a category in a specific order<\/a>. The previous version had a bug\u2014if you edited a product and saved your changes, the product\u2019s position would be reset. In version 4.9.3 we\u2019ve solved this problem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>We have improved the installer\u2014now it checks for all the PHP extensions required for proper functioning of CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor. Previously, the installer didn\u2019t check the extensions that PHP had by default. It could lead to problems on the servers where those extensions were disabled.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Multi-Vendor now has a new color for the admin panels of vendors. It no longer matches the color of the main admin panel\u2014that way it\u2019s much easier to understand whether the page belongs to <i>admin.php<\/i> or <i>vendor.php<\/i>.If you don\u2019t like the new colors, you can easily revert this change\u2014just delete the <i>design\/backend\/css\/config_vendor.less<\/i> file from your installation or comment the code inside it. To comment the code, open the file, and put \/* at the beginning, and *\/ at the end. <b>Please make sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.cs-cart.com\/4.9.x\/developer_guide\/getting_started\/cache_clearing.html#manual-cache-clearing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">clear the cache<\/a> after that.<\/b><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cs-cart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image72.png?w=800&#038;ssl=1\"\/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The upgrades to version 4.9.3 are already available. As usual, for the first few days after the release, we offer a limited number of upgrade downloads on a first-come-first-serve basis. That\u2019s why if you don\u2019t see anything in the Upgrade Center yet, try again a few hours later or the next day. Usually, everyone who wants to upgrade is able to do so in a few days from the release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello! We have released CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor 4.9.3.
