Spring is approaching with its usual boost of energy and inspiration, but it seems the Crocoblock team didn’t need the seasonal push to roll out a solid batch of new releases and updates. Wonder what’s new in the Crocoblock education hub?
Plugin Releases
JetWooBuilder 2.3.0
Enjoy smarter My Account controls and faster performance, all packed in this release.
Here’s what’s new:
📌 My Account Payment Methods Endpoint
This release introduces support for the Account Payment Methods endpoint, along with a dedicated widget for integrating it into custom My Account page templates.
When creating a fully customized My Account layout, you can now add, style, and manage the Payment Methods section directly within the builder. This ensures complete design consistency across the WooCommerce account area while maintaining full control over its appearance and structure.
📌 Plugin Performance Optimization
This release also includes substantial optimization of JS, CSS, and PHP across the plugin. JetWooBuilder now conditionally loads widget-specific scripts and styles, ensuring resources are included only when required.
