v1.13.1 [03/11/2026]

1.13.2 followed on November 4.

All of WBAMS's own PHP encoded, the language files and the installer's setup steps included, the scheduled tasks running again, the update screen's Release Notes and Changelog fixed, and the Content Manager, language and website fixes listed there. Read the v1.13.2 release notes.

Switch on the ionCube Loader first.

1.13.1 needs the free ionCube Loader, version 15 or newer (15.5 or newer on PHP 8.5), in the server's PHP. Most hosting control panels switch it on among the PHP extensions; ask your hosting provider if yours does not. From 1.13.0, Update WBAMS checks it first and, without it, says so and changes nothing. A site on 1.12.0 comes to 1.13.0 first, because its update screen does not check for the Loader. See System requirements.

  • Updated

    WBAMS's own code is encoded with ionCube. What a site reads or changes stays as it is: its themes, the language files, settings.sample.php, the installer and every third-party library WBAMS ships. Nothing in the database changes.

  • Added

    on a server without the Loader, the installer says on its own page what the server needs before setup starts, and a page of an installed site says in one line that the Loader is needed.
