This page mirrors the == Changelog == section of the plugin’s readme.txt and is the authoritative version history for SmartDingo Form Tracker. Versions are listed newest first.

Note The current stable release is 1.9.2. After updating, work through Before you go live — several releases below fix silent lead-capture failures that only surface once you deploy and purge caches.

1.9.2

• Fixed: leads were not captured from WPForms. WPForms fires its success event on the form element with no form-id argument; the tracker expected an id argument that was always undefined, so it never found the form. It now reads the form from the event.
• Fixed: leads were not captured from Gravity Forms (AJAX). Gravity Forms replaces the form with the confirmation message before firing its success event, so the form no longer existed when the tracker looked for it. The tracker now snapshots the form on submit and reads it on confirmation.
• Fixed: leads were not captured from WS Form. WS Form dispatches jQuery events on the document (not native events on the form); the tracker now listens correctly, uses the success-only event, and reads the form from the event arguments.
• Fixed: leads were not captured from Formidable Forms. The form was passed as a raw DOM element and the tracker mis-read it as a form field. It now resolves the form element correctly.
• Fixed: on pages with multiple mapped forms that share a field selector, a lead could be attributed to the wrong form configuration. Lead capture now reuses the same best-match, one-form-per-config resolution used to fill the fields.
• Clarified the lead-retention setting wording (“0” now reads as “never automatically delete leads”) and tidied internal plan/feature definitions so the Free/Starter/Pro tiers match exactly what is enforced.
• Improved plan clarity in the admin: the “Enable lead tracking” toggle now shows a Starter badge and is disabled (and forced off) on the free plan, and the chart-colour customiser clearly shows it is a Pro feature instead of silently doing nothing when saved.

1.9.1

• Fixed: leads from Fluent Forms 6.x were never captured. Fluent Forms 6.x changed its success event to pass a single object ({ form, config, response }); the tracker still expected the older positional arguments, so it read an undefined form and bailed out. The listener now resolves the form element from any of the shapes Fluent Forms uses.
• Fixed: leads were not captured on sites with full-page caching (LiteSpeed, WP Rocket, WP Super Cache, Cloudflare, host-level cache). The submission nonce and one-time token printed inline in the page were frozen by the cache and had expired by the time visitors submitted, so every lead was rejected server-side. The tracker now fetches fresh credentials from admin-ajax (which is never cached) immediately before sending each lead.
• Lead form data is now read synchronously at submission time, before credentials are fetched, so values are not lost when a form plugin resets the form on success.
• Leads are now sent with sendBeacon so they survive the page navigation that redirect (“thank you page”) confirmations trigger, and the beforeunload safety net now fires whenever the lead was not actually sent (previously it was suppressed as soon as capture merely started, which could silently drop leads from redirect-confirmation forms).
• The beforeunload safety net now also respects the consent setting, so no lead is captured for a visitor who has not consented.
