Core Forms 4.8.0

Core Forms now ships minified CSS and JavaScript, and only loads them where a form actually renders.

Changed

  • All first-party stylesheets and scripts are served minified on the front end and in the admin. Across the library that is 716 KB of CSS/JS down to 553 KB. forms.css drops 48%, forms.js 48%, smart-forms.js 52%.
  • Readable sources still ship alongside the minified files. Define SCRIPT_DEBUG or use the new cf_use_minified_assets filter to serve them instead.
  • Assets that arrive already minified (the webpack admin bundle, vendored Prism) are served as-is rather than duplicated in the package.

Added

  • Core_Forms\Assets resolves an asset path to the file that should be served, with cf_use_minified_assets as the escape hatch.
  • npm run build:assets regenerates the minified files; build.sh fails the build when they are stale.

Fixed

  • Page-level form detection now also inspects reusable blocks, widget areas, and block-theme template parts, so a form placed outside post content gets its stylesheets in <head> instead of after first paint. The template-part scan is cached and flushed on part save, delete, or theme switch.
