  • Changed how the licensing page works on Multisite. Now it will appear at Settings > iThemes Licensing in the network admin Dashboard and at Settings > iThemes Licensing on sites when the current user is a network admin. This prevents exposing the licensing page to users that don’t are not super users and thus should not be performing updates. As this update makes the functionality of the “Licensing Page Access” setting obsolete, the setting has been removed.

  • Fixed cron hook filter not properly accepting existing incoming cron periods for plugins that run before BackupBuddy.
