Bug Fixes

  • Commercial listing showing 0 bedrooms
    Bedrooms will not show on featured commercial listings if the number of bedrooms is set to 0.
  • Clone Tool Stuck
    Updated retrieval of background task records to avoid getting out of synch when the ACNT database is lagging.
  • Legacy Buyer/Seller articles broken
    We are trying to deprecate this legacy content, but unfortunately, there are around 1200 react website accounts (migrations) that still reference it. A redirect table has been put in so that if the blog post versions of the content exist, the old links will point to them. Going forward, react migrations should also make sure blog articles get set up, but care must be taken to NOT accidentally flood their social media accounts while doing so.
  • Slash being added to og title
    Removed unneeded character escaping.
  • Glossary on new default resources
    If the new blog post versions are set up, the links on this old page will redirect to them instead of the old content.
  • Error 500 on sold listings ss page
    Fixed issues with bad sold listing price data breaking search results on legacy templates.
