Astra Premium Sites 4.7.9

- Improvement:
- Plugin verification retries on time-outs and stray server output, and shows a clear error, not a stuck screen.
- Fix:
- Template library no longer shows a blank list for subsite admins on multisite; every subsite now uses the templates synced on the main site.
- Imports no longer fail with "Importing Customizer failed due to parse JSON error" when template data is lost.
- Import errors now show the real server message instead of "[object Object]" or a blank reason.
- Content import now shows an error instead of hanging forever when the progress stream connection is lost.
- The "Disable Debug Mode" notice no longer appears on sites where WP_DEBUG is defined as false.
- Design Kit: Design Library no longer drops some template kits, such as Law, when the Spectra version toggle is on, as total kit pages are now fetched with the same Spectra version.
- ST Importer: Template import no longer gets stuck in WordPress Playground due to an invalid progress stream header.
- ST Importer: A failed template fetch no longer overwrites the stored template data with empty data.
- ST Importer: Imported template data is no longer lost when the uploads file write fails on hosts with a persistent object cache.

- Fix:
- The Starter Templates page no longer returns a 404 on Apache/LiteSpeed hosts with mod_substitute active, caused by the response exceeding the server's line-length limit.
- Security:
- Restricted the CartFlows, Cart Abandonment Recovery and LatePoint import endpoints and the template data request endpoint to administrators only.
- Image sideload endpoints now download from approved stock image hosts only, preventing server side request forgery against internal network services.

- New:
- Classic Templates: Added a custom color palette generator that creates a full color scheme from a primary color, with live preview and st-color URL parameter support.
- Added deep-link support for inhouse plugins to launch the template import onboarding directly.
- Security:
- ST Importer: Enforced TLS certificate verification on remote image and content downloads during import.
- Fix:
- Security - Elementor: Inserting a template no longer overwrites the layout of an unrelated page, and site wide Elementor settings are now changed by administrators only.
- Imported content restrictions now work without re-saving each memberships in Suremembers plugin data.
- Blocked visitors now get the intended restriction in memberships, on the imported site instead of the demo.
- AI Builder: Template import reported a generic import failure and logged a PHP warning when the site details were not yet stored.
- ST Importer: SureMembers restrictions now work right after import; the skipped access group priority meta is restored.
- ST Importer: SureMembers restriction precedence and rule references now resolve on the imported site.

- New:
- Added SureContact (CRM & Contacts) to the features selection step in the onboarding flow.
- Improvement:
- Template imports are now more reliable on slower or shared hosting — key import steps will automatically retry if the server takes too long to respond, instead of failing immediately.

- Improvement:
- Compatibility with WordPress 7.0.
- Import: Redesigned the plugin install/activation step with per-plugin status, inline retry, and clearer error messages so users can recover from individual plugin failures without restarting the import.
- Prevented Power Coupons from redirecting to its onboarding after template import.
- Logo and other customizer images are now correctly replaced with media library URLs after template import.
- Fix:
- Prevented PHP fatal in filesystem helper when running on FTP-based hosts without WordPress credentials.
- Astra Pro enabled extensions were not being applied after template import.
- AI Builder: Template cards now load with their default color palette instead of a random one; shuffle only applies on button click.
- AI Builder: Temporarily reverted popup-based ZipWP authentication to same-tab redirect to resolve environment-specific issues.
- AI Builder: Logo and other customizer images are now correctly replaced with media library URLs after template import.
- AI Builder: Resolved blank organization and plan name in the Limit Reached modal when connecting ZipWP account mid-flow.
- AI Builder: Resolved a crash on the contact details step caused by invalid saved social media data.
- AI Builder: Custom color palette selection no longer crashes the design step when the default palette has not yet been hydrated.
- Free Images: Improved REST API compliance — return WP_REST_Response/WP_Error, add `sanitize_callback` to route args, and use `esc_url_raw( wp_unslash() )` for URL sanitization.

- Fix:
- Fixed infinite retry loop during template import when Beaver Builder Pro is active instead of Lite.
