Long community discussions often have great insights, but reading through all of them takes time. With SureDash 1.12.0, members can now get a quick AI summary of long discussions, so they can understand the key points and decide if they want to read the full thread.

Summarize Posts gives members a short recap with one click on a sparkle button. The summary is created once and shown to everyone, and it updates automatically whenever the post is edited. This helps members stay in the loop while spending less time scrolling through long threads.

This release also brings accessibility improvements across SureDash, including better keyboard navigation, clearer focus outlines, screen reader support, and more accessible controls across both Core and Pro features.

Core Changelog

• New: Introducing Summarize Posts. A sparkle button on long discussions gives members a short AI-written recap with the key points, so they can decide in seconds if they want to read the full thread. The summary is created once and reused for everyone, and it refreshes automatically when the post is edited. It’s off by default: connect an AI provider under Settings > Connectors, then turn it on under SureDash > Settings > AI Features & MCP. Requires WordPress 7.0 or higher.
• Improvement: Improved accessibility across the portal. Search and the sort menu now work fully with a keyboard; focus outlines are visible again on tabs, lists, and controls; tabs and dialogs have proper accessible names, and decorative avatars and icons are now hidden from screen readers.
• Fix: Launching the Beaver Builder editor on a space now opens the builder with the content area, instead of an empty portal layout.

Premium Changelog

• Improvement: Improved accessibility across Pro features. Leaderboard tooltips and the points help icon can now be reached by keyboard, and leaderboard progress and course toggles are now announced correctly to screen readers.

This is one of the most requested features on the SureDash product ideas board. Collections can now show pricing for the spaces inside them. Visitors instantly know what’s free, what’s paid, and how to buy it, right from the collection view.

You can mark each space as Free or Paid, set a price and currency, and add a checkout link. If a visitor doesn’t have access yet, they see the price and a Buy Now button instead of a plain locked space.

This turns a Collection from a simple content organizer into a sales tool. For example, group a set of courses or communities into one collection, and clearly show which ones are free and which need payment. Visitors can compare their options and go straight to checkout, no extra digging required.

This release also improves discussion controls and comment visibility, so day-to-day community interactions work more smoothly.

Core Changelog

• New: Collections can now show Free and price tags on the spaces they list, with a Buy Now button for visitors who don’t have access yet. Requires the SureDash Pro add-on and SureMembers Core. [Read more]
• Improvement: Added a filter to control whether replies stay open on discussions submitted from the front end. This lets you keep replies working without turning on comments site-wide.
• Fix: Lesson, event, and resource pages now show all comments, not just the first two.

Premium Changelog

• New: Free and price tags for collection cards. Turn on Display Pricing for a collection, then tag each space as Free, or as Paid with a price, currency, and checkout link. Visitors who are locked out see the price and a Buy Now button instead of a locked card. Tag colors are set per collection.
• Improvement: Space cards in collections now show the space description. If no description is set, the space type shows instead.

This update makes the AI assistant in SureDash (the WordPress Abilities/MCP integration) work more smoothly and predictably. It also makes content management safer and improves how errors are handled when something goes wrong.

The AI assistant now checks information more carefully before saving anything, and it has a clearer picture of your spaces and groups. Creating events and quizzes through the AI assistant is also more accurate now. On top of that, we fixed a few bugs around saving content and showing errors when a request gets blocked.

Core Changelog

• Improvement: The AI assistant now checks requests more carefully. If something is incomplete or doesn’t match up, it will show a clear message instead of saving broken content.
• Improvement: The AI assistant now gets more accurate information about your spaces and groups, including spaces that aren’t part of any group.
• Fix: Content created using the AI assistant now saves properly every time and can be edited later.
• Fix: If a firewall or network issue blocks a post, profile update, or registration, you’ll now see an error message and can try again, instead of it failing quietly.

Premium Changelog

• Improvement: The AI assistant now checks event and quiz details more carefully. If a schedule is incomplete or a quiz is missing the correct answer, it will show a clear message instead of saving it.
• Fix: Removing a lesson from a course no longer deletes the lesson itself, unless you choose to delete it on purpose.

This release brings a better way to manage and deliver resource files, along with important improvements to content protection and the admin experience.

Store & Deliver Resources with Bunny.net

You can now connect Bunny.net cloud storage to the SureDash Resource Library and serve your files through Bunny’s global CDN.

This is especially useful if your portal contains videos, PDFs, documents, images, or other downloadable resources and you want to improve file delivery for users across different locations. You’ll need a Bunny.net account to use this feature.

With Bunny.net integration, you can:

• Connect your Bunny.net account directly from SureDash.
• Select your preferred storage region.
• Serve resources through Bunny’s global CDN for faster delivery.
• Protect downloads with secure, signed links.

This gives you a more scalable way to manage resource files while providing a better experience for your portal users.

Stronger Content Protection

We’ve also strengthened access checks across several SureDash features:

• Events: Protected events can no longer be accessed through public calendar URLs.
• Lessons: Course access is now verified before users can complete lessons.
• Resources: Download permissions are checked every time a resource is requested, even when the file is referenced from multiple posts.

These improvements help ensure that users only access content they are authorized to view.

Core Changelog

• New: Added a “What’s New” popup in the admin dashboard. It appears after every release, right after logging in, and highlights the latest features and improvements.
• Fix: Emojis added in the admin editors are no longer converted to images, so they are preserved correctly in email content.

Premium Changelog

• New: Bunny.net integration for the Resource Library. Connect your account, pick a region, and deliver files through Bunny’s CDN with secure signed links. [Read more]
• Improvement: Strengthened access checks across events, lessons, and resources. Protected events can no longer be fetched through public calendar URLs, lesson completion now validates course access, and resource downloads verify permissions on every post referencing the file.

This release focuses on making everyday community interactions more seamless while giving developers greater flexibility to extend SureDash. Members can now access notifications more quickly on mobile, and the onboarding experience has been refined to help new communities get started with ease.

For developers, SureDash Pro introduces new hooks and helper functions to manage member points and badges programmatically, making it easier to build custom gamification workflows and integrations. We’ve also improved the experience for dripped content by clearly indicating when lessons and spaces are scheduled to unlock.

Core Changelog

• Improvement: On mobile, the bottom bar notification bell now opens your notifications in a popup right above the bar instead of loading a separate page, matching the in-place Search and Post overlays. The active bottom bar tab is also highlighted.
• Improvement: Polished the onboarding flow with interface and behavior refinements and updated starter space templates.
• Fix: Fixed errors that could occur when liking a post or adding a comment.
• Fix: Fixed plural labels for lessons, quizzes, threads, and modules so their spacing and wording stay correct in translated languages.

Premium Changelog

• Improvement: Added developer hooks and helper functions to award or deduct member points and assign or revoke badges, plus a filter to customize the points awarded for reactions.
• Improvement: Improved support for dripped (scheduled) content. Dripping lessons and spaces now appear locked with a clock icon until they become available, instead of showing as unlocked or with a generic lock icon.
