| |

| |
− | | |
− | <div class="docs-alert-warning">You will only see the WHMCS 8 updates within the Automatic Updater if you are running on PHP 7.2 or later. If you are running PHP 7.1 or earlier, to update to WHMCS 8 via the Automatic Updater, you will first need to upgrade to PHP 7.2 or PHP 7.3, and then check for updates and perform the update.</div>
| |
− | | |
− | Once you are running WHMCS 8, you can upgrade to PHP 7.4.

− | ===Automatic Updating===
| |
− | | |
− | If you are running WHMCS 7.0 or later, you can use the built-in [[Automatic_Updater|Automatic Update]] utility.
| |
− |
| |
− | Go to '''Utilities > Update WHMCS''' to begin the process.
| |
− |
| |
− | <div class="docs-alert-info"><i class="fa fa-info-circle fa-fw"></i> If the update was released recently, you may need to click '''Check for Updates''' before the update will be available.
| |
− | </div>
| |

| |
− | For more information about updating, refer to the [[Automatic Updater]] documentation.

| |
− | === Manage Stripe and PayPal® Disputes ===

− | === Improved Client Profile Summary ===
| |
− |
| |
− | The client profile '''Summary''' tab at '''Clients > View/Search Clients > Client Profile''' now offers faster filtering, sorting, and pagination tools. This improves the ability to locate products, services, addons, domains, and quotes.
| |
− |
| |
− |
| |
− | === Automated WordPress® Hosting ===
| |
− |
| |
− | You can now easily create WordPress hosting products with full WHMCS automation for cPanel and Plesk servers. Automatic provisioning installs WordPress when the product is purchased, and both clients and admins can create additional WordPress installations on the hosting account from the Client Area and Admin Area.

− | === Affiliate Commission Reversals ===
| |
− |
| |
− | New updates to the affiliate system help you reverse commission payments for disputed or refunded purchases. This ensures that affiliates won't receive a commission if your business did not retain the funds from a given purchase.

| |
− | === Improved SSL Certificate Validation ===
| |
− |
| |
− | WHMCS now supports DNS validation for MarketConnect's DigiCert SSL certificates. Starting in October 2021, certificates will require wildcard certificate validation through either DNS or email. Our changes include interface improvements that allow clients and admins to access validation data for certificates that are waiting to be issued.
