Here’s what we’ve fixed since Hotfix roundup: November 4–6, 2026.
Newspack
- Minimums set on individual Donate blocks or donation products kept reverting to the site-wide minimum, so donors could give less than the publisher intended. Those minimums now stay until someone changes them. The fix doesn’t restore minimums that were already overwritten, so check any Donate block or donation product that should have its own minimum. (newspack@6.56.8, newspack-blocks@4.36.9, newspack@6.56.6)
- On sites running WordPress 7.2, dropdown menus inside modals in the editor and admin didn’t appear when clicked, such as More options in the Edit Media modal. These menus now open when clicked. (newspack-popups@3.20.5, newspack@6.56.5, newspack-blocks@4.36.8)
- Last Donation Date and Last Donation Amount fields ignored a one-time gift made after a recurring donation, so a recent donor could look lapsed to an automation. Both fields now report the reader’s most recent paid donation. (newspack@6.56.7)
Campaigns
- On sites using the Mailchimp donor merge fields setting, signed-in readers with a value in that merge field weren’t counted as donors unless the setting was typed in uppercase, so prompts for donors didn’t reach them. The match now ignores case, and a blank setting no longer counts anyone as a donor. (newspack-popups@3.20.6)
