What's new in Saddle

Every release of the Saddle plugins, newest first. Saddle needs WordPress 6.9 and PHP 7.4 or newer.

Saddle 1.7.2

9 November 2026

  • Saddle Pro, Saddle Analytics and Saddle Rank activate when Saddle sits in a folder with another name, such as saddle-2 after a second upload.

Saddle 1.7.1

9 November 2026

  • Saddle finds Divi 5 in any theme folder, such as Divi-2 after a second upload, so your AI agent gets its Divi tools.

  • Page check no longer calls Divi 5 presets and column widths ignored.

Saddle 1.7.0

6 November 2026

  • Connect your AI agent two ways: all your sites through Saddle Cloud, or just this site at its own address.
  • Run without asking, for an agent you trust to manage the site. It is off until you turn it on.
  • Ask first is off by default. You choose which tools ask you first.
  • Your AI agent can make a new menu and put it in the header or footer.
  • Get Premium shows the four plans, each with unlimited sites.
