### 7.4.6 (2024.10.07) - ASE Free and Pro
* **[IMPROVED in PRO] Log In | Log Out >> Change Login URL**: now respects the recently added feature to Redirect After Login module which allows for separate redirection URL for each user role. With this improvement, if a user role is already logged-in, going to the custom login URL will properly redirect to the URL set in Redirect After Login module for that role, no longer redirecting to /wp-admin/ (the Dashboard). An improvement was also implemented to handle the scenario where the user has multiple user roles. Props to Wence W. for reporting the issue and facilitating the troubleshooting.
* **[FIXED in PRO] Admin Interface >> Admin Columns Manager**: improved mechanism to detect and categorize custom fields in a post type, ensuring they are handled properly based on their handler (ASE, ACF, Meta Box or plain custom field). Props to Stanislaw R. for reporting the issue and facilitating the troubleshooting process.
* **[FIXED in Free and Pro] Admin Interface >> Disable Dashboard Widgets**: fix for certain dashboard widgets not being listed by this module, thus not possible to disable them, e.g. HappyAddons for Elementor. Props to MIRAJA Design for reporting this.

* **[FIXED in Free and Pro] Disable Components >> Disable Smaller Components >> Disable Plugin and Theme Editor**: add a mechanism to check if wp-config.php is writeable. If wp-config.php is not writeable, a warning message will now be displayed in the module description. This will also prevent fatal error on sites where wp-config.php is not writeable. Props to @cvladan, @aguilar1181, @pressthemes1 for [reporting this](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-crash/).
