Changelog
See the latest Basker releases, website builder updates, integrations, and CMS improvements.
A More Consistent Admin
Buttons, typography, and spacing across the admin now follow one design system
Collapsible Groups in Block Editors
Long block forms are now split into collapsible sections, one open at a time, so editing a busy block means less scrolling and less hunting.
Image Size Overrides at a Glance
Media fields show when an image has a custom version for a specific size, and a new permission controls who can manage image sizes.
Translatable Booking Button Labels
The Book Button Label on events and event instances can now be translated per language, and Booking app fields make clear whether they apply to the event or a single instance.
Calendar Views and Themed Modals
New calendar, What's On, and Featured Calendar blocks, themeable modals, and better mobile spacing for Website Builder sites.
Subsites
Give a section of your site its own layout, navigation, and logo, while it stays part of the same site and shares the same content.
Stronger Firewall Protection Across Every Site
Basker's web application firewall now covers media and theme delivery as well as public sites, and enforces a broader set of rules against exploit scanners.
Steadier Sites Under Heavy Automated Traffic
A regional cache layer, cache headers on every public API response, and strict limits on page and list parameters keep sites fast when bot traffic surges.
Performance Images In The Event Instances API
The event instances list endpoint now returns each performance's own main image alongside the parent event's artwork.
Onboarding Improvements And Page Previews
Onboarding gains a live preview of the pages you have chosen, along with clearer selection controls and easier navigation through every step.
Screens Brings Digital Signage Into Basker
Basker now designs, schedules, and plays the content on your foyer and box office displays, using the same events, seasons, and venues that power your website.
Richer Social Sharing Cards
Shared links now present a purpose-built social image crop that respects focal points, a clean single description, and assets served from the right addresses.
Broken-Link Reports for Your Site
Basker now tracks page-not-found responses across every site and emails a report of the top missing paths, so teams can fix broken journeys with redirects.
Timezone-Aware Date Attributes Show Local Time
Datetime custom attributes with a timezone now render in their configured local time on public pages, matching what editors set in the admin.
Redirects That Scale to Tens of Thousands of Rules

A broad round of performance work makes pages render faster, deliver fully styled from the first paint, and pick up published changes promptly.
Direct Collection Lookups in Theme Templates
Load only the posts and categories a theme needs by filtering their real relationships instead of fetching heavy linked structures.

Give AI agents your site's visual language with a style-profile endpoint, then capture existing web pages as Basker blocks through the Builder API.
Image CDN Background Colour Controls
The image CDN now accepts a background colour that fills letterbox bars and flattens transparency, so logos and artwork render consistently in every format.

Storage Usage Now Appears in Settings
A new Usage settings view shows storage against plan and add-on limits, so teams can understand capacity before it becomes urgent.
Default Media Upload Folders

Redirects can now be exported from the admin as CSV files, so teams can audit, share, and reconcile redirect rules without manual copying.
Clean, Stable Addresses for Event Instances
Give every event instance a semantic web address and durable short link, consistent with works, people, and seasons even after renaming.
Warnings for Oversized Image Uploads
