What changed

The conditional-logic panel offers lists of courses, lessons, memberships and groups to pick from. Those lists were being built on every request, including front-end page views that never show the panel, with unbounded queriesQuery Query is a term used to describe the act of selecting, inserting, or updating data in a database.

The lists are now built only when the Elementor editor loads.

Access-plan lookups had dead code that loaded the entire access-plan table on every call when resolving a course’s plans. On one page with the Access Plans widget we measured twelve whole-table queries in a single render. That code is gone.

Course, lesson, membership and plan lookups no longer bulk-prime post meta and term caches. On large catalogs that priming produced one oversized query that some hosts’ query limits reject, so it cost more than it saved.

For developers: the le-conditional-fields filter now fires only on Elementor editor initialisation, no longer on every request. If you hook it to add options to the conditional-logic panel, nothing changes for you; if you were relying on it running on the front end, it no longer does.

Full changelog

1.7.3

Release Date: 2026-08-22

Conditional logic: build the editor’s condition field options only when the Elementor editor loads, instead of running unbounded course/lesson/membership/group queries on every request — fixes killed queries / slow requests on large sites behind host query limits
Access plans: removed dead code that loaded the entire access-plan table on every call when resolving a course’s plans (measured: 12 whole-table queries in a single render of a page with the Access Plans widget)
Course, lesson, membership and plan lookups no longer bulk-prime post meta and term caches, which on large catalogs produced a single very large query that some hosts’ query limits reject
Developer note: the le-conditional-fields filter now fires only on Elementor editor initialization, no longer on every request

If a page is still slow with this release, get in touch with support and tell us how many courses and plans the site has.
