Well its been 8ish months since release and about 55% of whats been released has been security fixes. I'm usually the first to update (including to beta), but I held back on 9.x, and I'm glad I did - Here we are 8 months on, and from the feedback it seems most are still recommending staying on the 8.x branch till fixes are implemented for all the invoicing issues and concerns. After you take security out, what is left is maintenance: ~1% of all post-GA updates is a new feature ~12% is billing correctness ~10% is making Nexus behave ~20% is module/platform plumbing and deletions What is in each bucket Billing / invoices / credits / reports (11) Downgrade credit calc, invoice chunking, invoice generation errors, cancelled services renewing by mistake, mass-pay late fees, late fees on 9.0 upgrade, admin invoice currency, billing notes excluded from income stats and cashflow, invoice-merge hook, Stripe admin capture logic. Platform / ops / compatibility (10) jms/serializer bump, ClassLoader error on update, Smarty-tag handling, S3 default region, Setup Tasks list, PHP-version health check, deprecated-module health check, Recaptcha error handling, activity-log error handling, persist Sign-In Integration notice. Nexus / theme / cart (9) Inclusive tax, renewals visibility, product deletions, domain addons, URL rewrites, path references, cart error handling, session handling in the Nexus theme, 360 Monitoring landing-page crash. Modules / integrations, not security (8) Plesk integration, suspend/unsuspend, and change-password updates; Enom variable name; Digicert SSL expiry; Stripe + Invisible reCaptcha errors; OAuth call errors; Sign-In Integrations handling. Removals (2) HipChat notification module; Asiapay, Gate2shop, Inpay, and Paypoint dropped from the package. New feature (1) Stripe Dynamic Payments in 9.0.3. If I had to guess, your development team is flat out using AI to plug all the big holes. If this is the case, great - Let us know. If this isn't the case, then very little has been done in the way of meaningful changes to the GA release. How bout decent passkey support - There is NO WAY im buying a third party addon for this.

Just a quick update, Lara v9.0.1 is fully compatible with WHMCS v9.0.8 (security update).

Interested in experiences migrating from self-hosted to cloud, especially regarding avoiding downtime, etc. Who's done this and can you share lessons learned? Thanks!

Hi @azzepis, We have indeed included some maintenance updates to the Plesk module to address this in 9.0.8: WHMCS-27532 — Update Suspension and Unsuspension in Plesk WHMCS-27812 — Update Change Password in Plesk Whilst older versions won't be getting a similar update, you can grab the following files from the 9.0.8 patch set and upload them, overwriting the existing files: /modules/servers/plesk/templates/api/1.0.0.0/webspace_set_status.tpl /modules/servers/plesk/templates/api/1.0.0.0/webspace_set_password.tplwebspace_set_status.tpl These files aren't tied to a specific version of WHMCS, so will work with EoL and LTS versions.

Oh, sure. Why not, people don't need fully functional billing system, they need safe one! Good work, as always

Hi @azzepis, We do not currently plan to make these updates to the Plesk module in 8.13. 8.13 is currently in Long Term Support, meaning it receives critical security updates. Maintenance occurs in the General Availability release (currently 9.0). New features and continued compatibility updates - such as these - are, as much as possible, planned for new feature releases (9.1, 9.2 etc.)

WGS PROXMOX VPS for WHMCS v1.0.1 is now available! We've released PROXMOX v1.0.1 with several bug fixes and improvements to make provisioning and VM management more reliable.

📢 PayPal Buy Now Pay Later (paypalbnpl) V1.0.3 Released We’ve released a new update with: • WHMCS 9.0.8 compatibility • Improved license verification and validation The latest version is now available for download. Please update to the latest release to benefit from these improvements.

Not only did they not provide this patch for 8.x, the update they did provide overwrites the plesk module changes from manually patching it, so we had to manually apply the fix again after the update.

what about 8.x?

Hi @websavers, Yes absolutely! We have ensured that the upcoming v9.1 release will be ready for this deprecation. The case ID is WHMCS-27404.

This really should be core WHMCS functionality.

TWO NEW WHMCS MODULE UPDATES We have released new versions of OpenStack VPS & Cloud For WHMCS and Payment Gateway Charges For WHMCS. OPENSTACK VPS & CLOUD FOR WHMCS 3.1.0 The main addition is multi-region support. Separate service endpoints can now be configured for multiple regions within a single server connection, making it easier to manage geographically distributed OpenStack environments through one module setup. Version 3.1.0 also delivers numerous improvements and fixes related to: • Scheduled task visibility and processing • Backup creation and history • IP address and Security Groups management • Virtual machine rebuilds • Welcome email information • Environments without floating IP support View the complete changelog: https://www.modulesgarden.com/products/whmcs/openstack-vps-and-cloud#changelog PAYMENT GATEWAY CHARGES FOR WHMCS 3.1.0 The module now includes the Theme Management Tool, which allows administrators to customize its interface in both the admin and client areas. The latest package also provides a built-in, officially supported Dark theme. View the complete changelog: https://www.modulesgarden.com/products/whmcs/payment-gateway-charges#changelog

We’ve just launched Passkey Authentication for WHMCS, a module designed to bring modern, passwordless authentication to both WHMCS clients and administrators. Key features: Passkey Authentication – Secure, passwordless login using supported devices and authentication methods. Client & Administrator Support – Protect both WHMCS client accounts and admin accounts. Microsoft Entra ID – Allow users to authenticate with their Microsoft account. Faster Login Experience – Reduce dependence on traditional passwords and make sign-in simpler. Additional Account Security – Add another layer of protection to accounts containing customer, service and billing information. Modern Device Support – Works with supported iPhone/iPad, Android, Windows, macOS devices and FIDO2 security keys. The goal is to make WHMCS authentication more secure without making the login experience more complicated for users. We’ve added more details and screenshots on the module page: https://whmcsglobalservices.com/passkey-whmcs-module/ Would be interested to hear how other WHMCS providers are currently handling passwordless authentication and MFA for their client portals.

I've recently had to investigate one of those slightly annoying WHMCS problems: the cron job appears to be running correctly, but some executions never actually finish. This can be surprisingly easy to miss. Having cron.php started every 5 minutes only tells us that cron is starting it every 5 minutes. It doesn't tell us whether the previous execution actually completed. If an automation task hangs — because of an external API, a registrar/module, a network problem, a database issue, custom code, etc. — you may eventually end up with several overlapping cron.php processes without immediately noticing what is going on. I put together a debugging approach that gives visibility into three different levels: whether the PHP cron process actually starts and terminates; whether the WHMCS automation cycle enters and exits normally; which individual WHMCS automation task starts but never returns (or simply takes an unusually long time). The basic idea is to use the PreCronJob / AfterCronJob and PreAutomationTask / PostAutomationTask hooks, combined with a simple external shell wrapper and a check for overlapping processes. Instead of just knowing: "The WHMCS cron seems to get stuck sometimes." you can hopefully get to something much more useful, such as: cron.php started DomainSync started another cron.php process started another cron.php process started DomainSync never returned At that point, at least you know where to start looking. I've written up the complete procedure, including the hooks, shell script, logging examples and some additional notes here: https://eurossl.eu/knowledgebase/whmcs-cron-job-stuck-debugging/ I'm posting this because I'd still like to contribute useful technical information back to the WHMCS community. However, after fighting over the years with the community's occasionally ("creative" code editor, formatting issues, disappearing posts and similar adventures), I've decided to keep the full article and code somewhere I can actually maintain them. 🙂 Hopefully this will save someone a few hours of debugging.

Thanks, but My message is not about self-help.

This should still work for you: Edit: /modules/servers/plesk/templates/api/1.0.0.0/webspace_set_status.tpl Replace the root node (and its closing value) so that instead of <domain> and </domain> they read <webspace> and </webspace>

I just updated to 8.13.7 - and there is no any changes to /modules/servers/plesk/ , so if you're not using 9.x version - you have to mannualy suspend/unsuspend service for clients for a additional few monthes?

There isn't a lot of moderation in this board in general. I assume it's not something they consider a good use of paid staff time, maybe.

Taken directly from the rules: Can you not post the same long, boring advertising post multiple times per week? You post in the same two sections of the community each time, meaning you advertise 5-6 times per week.

Great! They need a month to publish hotfix contains a new word in code 🙂

Just saw that as well. Thanks!

It does look like 9.0.8 was released earlier today. Just had to click the refresh button on the update page. From release notes, it appears that these fixes and the new security fixes are included.

@WHMCS John Any update on this ?

Are they planning on rolling this out in an update? Baffling, they have not yet done so!!
