Found a bug? Have a great feature idea? Get on GitHub and tell us about it and we'll get right on it: https://pods.io/submit/

Our GitHub has the full list of all prior releases of Pods: https://github.com/pods-framework/pods/releases

= 2.7.31.4 - August 31st, 2026 =

This is a major security hardening release covering multiple areas of the plugin. We recommend updating as soon as possible.

Additional releases with these security fixes have been backported to each major version of Pods from Pods 2.7 and above to make it easy to update.

* Security: Restricted display callbacks to an explicit allow list of safe functions, with optional customized additions requiring a dedicated prefix. Added detection and admin notices when disallowed display callbacks are used on a site. (Jakub Herman, @sc0ttkclark)
* Security: Refactored form nonce handling to harden against submission misuse. (Jakub Herman, @sc0ttkclark)
* Security: Hardened shortcode and block logic against output and query misuse. (Wordfence PRISM - Wordfence, @sc0ttkclark)
* Security: Fixed post_status handling in the last security release so it only applies to user-provided inputs (not Pods internal logic). (@sc0ttkclark)
* Security: Added anonymous form post handling back that had unintentionally been disabled in the last security release. (@sc0ttkclark)

= 2.7.31.3 - May 8th, 2024 =

*Security Release*

* Security hardening: Enforce safe URLs for Pods form submission confirmation page URLs. Props to the wesley (wcraft) / Wordfence for responsibly reporting this. (@sc0ttkclark) 

= 2.7.31.2 - February 21st, 2024 =

*Security Release*

Resolved issue with release deployment, see previous version for more details about the release.

= 2.7.31.1 - February 21st, 2024 =

*Security Release*

While this release is meant to be as backwards compatible as possible, some aspects of security hardening may require manual intervention by site owners and their developers. There were no known reports and no known attempts to take advantage of the issues resolved by this release except where noted.

Read more about [How access rights work with Pods](https://docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/access-rights-in-pods/) for more details including new filters/snippets that can provide limited access.

Upgrade now to Pods 3.1 to get the full benefits of the new Access Rights feature with additional customization settings available.

* Security hardening: Introduced new access checks and additional fine-grained control over dynamic features across any place in Pods that allows embedding content or forms. This only applies to usage through Pods Blocks or Shortcodes. Using PHP will continue to expect you are handling this on your own unless you pass the appropriate arguments to the corresponding Pods methods. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Security hardening: Prevent using the Pods Views Block / Shortcode to embed any files outside of the current theme. Props to the Nex Team / Wordfence for responsibly reporting this. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Security hardening: Prevent output of `user_pass`, `user_activation_key`, and `post_password` through Pods dynamic features / PHP. These values will be set in Pods references to `****************` if they were not-empty so you can still do conditional checks as normal. While Scott was already aware of this in pre-planned security release work, additional props go to the Nex Team / Wordfence for responsibly reporting this too. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Security hardening: Prevent more unsavory PHP display callbacks from being used with magic tags in addition to those already prevented. Props to the Nex Team / Wordfence for responsibly reporting this. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Security hardening: All SQL fragments used by Dynamic Features are checked for disallowed usage like subqueries. (@sc0ttkclark)
* Feature: Pods Display > The Display-related Pods Blocks and Shortcodes have additional checks that limit access to content based on the user viewing it. For Post Types that are non-public, they must have access to the `read` capability from that post type as a normal user. For displaying content from Users, they must have access to `list_users` capability to view that. [Read more about how access rights work with Pods](https://docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/access-rights-in-pods/) (@sc0ttkclark)
* Feature: Pods Forms > The Pods Form Block and Form Shortcode have additional checks that limit access to creating/editing content based on the user submitting the form. For Post Types that are non-public, they must have access to the 'create' capability from that post type as a normal user. Forms that submit to the Users pod, now require that the submitter must have access to the `create_users` or `edit_users` capability to create or edit that user. [Read more about how access rights work with Pods](https://docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/access-rights-in-pods/) (@sc0ttkclark)
* Feature: Pods Forms > When a user has access to create or edit content through a Pods form for a post type, the `post_content` field is cleaned based on the level of access they have to prevent inserting unintentional shortcodes or blocks. (@sc0ttkclark)

**New PHP & WP Minimum Version Requirements:**

* PHP Version Change Requirement 5.3+
* WP Version Change Required 4.5+

**Major Changes in 2.7 Release: Flexible Relationships:**

* New Relationship Field Format "List View": The power of the new flexible relationships is our new modal window that opens within the existing record for relationship fields. This is modeled after the Media Modal from WordPress and provides full functionality to Add New related records or edit existing records all from within the parent record of the relationship. This is provided through our new List View field format for relationship fields. To see a demo of this field in action [head on over to our YouTube](https://youtu.be/V8c067GAEcA)
* Add New with Flexible Relationships: The new flexible relationships will automatically enable Add New on all your existing relationships, but you can disable this from the Additional Options tab for each relationship field. You can switch field formats to the new List View from additional options tab as well.
* Dynamic Field Views: The relationship fields and file upload fields have been rewritten to take advantage of "Dynamic Field Views", driven by JavaScript. More technical details about the directions we went towards these field changes can be read about in our ["Pods 2.7: What We Did and Why We Did It"](https://pods.io/2017/12/05/pods-2-7-developer-notes/)

* Fixed: Pods UI 'label_add' wasn't being used on button at top of manage table list

* Added: Option to disable pagination altogether (separate from setting page to 1, but also forces page to be 1) in findRecords $params `'pagination' =&gt; false`
* Added: PODS_GLOBAL_POD_PAGINATION constant to globally disable pagination by setting the constant to false (can be renabled as needed in findRecords $params `'pagination' =&gt; true`)

* Added: Pod :: raw_sql contains SQL without @ table references replaced and Pod :: sql now should reflect the same query as hits the DB (@ table references replaced)
* Added: Pod :: getZebra() which uses a switch (Pod :: zebra) that goes from false to true during fetchRecord loops (initial value is false, first fetch switches it to true and reverses each additional fetch)

* Changed: Pod Page Precode now runs on 'after_setup_theme' action instead of 'plugins_loaded'

* Fixed: Pods &gt;&gt; Setup UI updated with lots of fixes when editing Pods / Columns, and Helpers (no more refreshes needed where they may have been needed before)
* Fixed: PodAPI setting of defaults for $params to avoid isset checks
* Fixed: PodAPI :: save_column now sets pick-related extra data to empty if not a pick column

* Fixed: pods_var bug with strtolower PHP warning when managing content

* Fixed: Pod :: lookup_row_ids now forces (int) on values given, also allows $tbl_row_ids to be array instead of only just comma-separate string as before

* Added: pods_var_set function to set variables, operates similar to pods_var, has three variables ($value, $key, $type) and returns $value on success (if $type is an array or object it will return the updated $type, if $type is 'url' it will return the full updated $url)
