Download and Upgrade

If you are using our Installer plugin, you should get CRED 1.2.4 automatically to your WordPress admin. You can always download manually from your wp-types.com account.

Coming next to CRED

This updates puts CRED in a much more convenient state for major new functionality. CRED 1.3 will include a new fields library, replacing Zebra forms.

Why should you care? Because Zebra forms adds too much implicit design, making it difficult to style CRED forms and control them. The new fields library will be light and minimalistic. Fields will look nice, but without a ton of CSS.

This new version will go together with Types 1.6 and a brand new API for fields. So, if you want to create your own field types, either completely new or derived from existing Types fields, it will be a breeze.

  2. Hi, glad to see this update :), thanks for keeping the progress going.

    I’m assuming the tinyMCE editor integration will be in 1.3?

    Cheers, mark

    • Not sure. The main focus for CRED 1.3 is a complete rewrite of the fields library. This will make it a lot nicer to style CRED forms and adapt to your site and also create custom field types. We’ll see how this goes and then what we can also include in that release.

  3. Is the new fields api in Cred going to affect field types for the types plugin as well? How far out is types 1.6 roughly?

      • In Types you guys use a modified version of Enlimbo for forms and field types. I’ve built custom field types for Types but I’m wondering if there are going to be further under the hood changes that might break existing code. Is types 1.6 going to be a few more weeks or is it just around the corner?

    • Hi Abdul,
      Yes, conditionals and many other features currently in Types will be coming with CRED 1.3.

  5. Hi, is the thumbnail preview of uploaded images and a progress meter during upload going to be included in CRED 1.3? And is there an estimated timeline for CRED 1.3 release. Many thanks.

  6. Will there be a more “built in” method for group fields? The current method is not user friendly and doesn’t seem to flexible. Thanks.

    • Yes. That’s very much on our todo list. We are working on infrastructure changes for CRED, which will allow it to be much more flexible in upcoming releases. Then, we have a list of CRED features, including simplifying the fields group management.

  7. HI guys,

    great work indeed… any chance to see user fields management with CRED 1.3?
    As I see from old blog posts it’s something people really want to have.

    Thanks anyway for your great job supporting us and developing such fantastic plugins!
    Best regards
