Dating Pro got 20+ fixes and new features in the October 2026 release. Here is what changed and how it helps you earn from your site.

In October, researchers found two critical flaws in PHP, the language most websites, Dating Pro included, run on. The flaws went unnoticed for more than ten years and let an attacker take over a site remotely, without a password. This release includes the security fix.

Also check your server: if it runs PHP 8.1 or older, upgrade PHP too. The PHP team patched only the newest versions. Your hosting provider can tell you your PHP version in a minute.

What it gives you: a hacked dating site loses its members' trust, and their payments with it. The fix keeps your members' data and your income safe.

A new admin panel. The control panel moves to the new Gentelella 4 theme. Dark mode switches on with your computer's setting or with a button. On a phone the menu slides in from the side; on a computer the sidebar folds down to icons. The admin is lighter and faster, works from the keyboard and has 20 chart types for your statistics.

AI analytics on the admin home page. An analytics dashboard tracks 30+ member actions: sign-up, profile completion, search, likes, messages, payments. It builds simple funnels and cohorts and refreshes once a day. The AI analysis button reads the numbers through Claude or ChatGPT and suggests what to fix. Demo: analytics.cust1.pilotbest.com.

Moderation in bulk and with helpers. Everything waiting for review sits in one place, /admin/moderation: profiles, photos, videos, offline payments and reports. For each upload type you choose: review before publishing, after, or not at all. Bad profiles are rejected in bulk. A banned-words filter is added. You can create a login for a helper and tick the sections they may open; payments stay yours.

Password recovery on the website. A member who forgot the password gets an email and sets a new one.

Sign-up without glitches. Fixed: Google sign-up on the first click, photo upload on the website, an over-strict name check, and a clear error in the Telegram bot when a person is already registered on the website.

AI first-message suggestions. In the admin: Services → Customize your service → AI Tools. Paste your own ChatGPT key and switch it on. Members see ready greetings of 1–3 sentences built from the other person's profile.

A more stable site. Fixed: an old video conversion bug, crashes while loading profiles, emails sent to bots, money-transfer notices in the recipient's language, Google Analytics 4 event tracking, virtual currency fixes. The minimum wallet top-up is now 10 instead of 5.

15 site templates. Swipe, First Move, Prompt, Nearby, Open Chat, Long Term, Compatibility, Crossed Paths, Pride, Open, Personality, Classic, Duo, Vow, Evergreen. Each works on the website, iOS and Android. Switch them in the admin: Services → Customize your service → System → Themes. Change the logo, colours, your own font up to 2 MB, the home page and landing pages.

17 ready legal pages. Terms, Privacy, About Us, Advertising and a Help & Safety section replace texts from 2014–2018. You fill in your company details in ready fields like [COMPANY_NAME]. English only for now. In the admin, 86 tip tiles that link to the Help Center were checked: 24 fixed, 11 added.

Instructions for AI coding agents. The source code now ships with AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md. They tell Claude Code, Codex or Cursor how Dating Pro's code is built, so a new feature takes less time.

Help 24/7, now in Telegram too. Our AI assistant Fin answers any time, and since September in Telegram too. If a site on our hosting doesn't open, the server status is shown live.

Help Center rewritten. About 90 articles rewritten shorter and clearer, 7 new ones and 4 on the operator panel. A step-by-step launch checklist: website in 1–2 days, Telegram bot in 5 days, apps in 5–40 days. 131 website add-ons are marked as working with the Telegram bot too. Open the launch checklist.
