Siren

Release 3.0.0

Complete rewrite of the admin interface in React, standalone Collaborator Portal with branding, full REST API, LearnDash integration, and multi-tier plugin availability.

Last updated: April 12, 2026

Siren 3.0.0 is a complete rewrite. Programs, commissions, and payouts all work the same way they always have, but everything around them is new.

New Admin Interface

Every admin screen has been rebuilt in React. Programs, collaborators, conversions, obligations, fulfillments, transactions, distributors, and program groups all run as a single-page app inside WordPress admin.

  • Dark and light themes
  • Collapsible sidebar navigation
  • Help system with tooltips, slide-out drawers, and visual flow diagrams
  • Data tables with server-side filtering, sorting, and bulk actions
  • Detail views with lifecycle flow diagrams
  • CSV export for fulfillment payouts

Collaborator Portal

The collaborator dashboard is now its own standalone portal with separate navigation and branding.

  • Earnings summary (paid, unpaid, rejected) with obligation history
  • Engagement stats by program and time period
  • Referral URL generator with one-click copy
  • Coupon code display for assigned codes
  • Customizable colors via the block editor or shortcode attributes: background, text, accent, and sidebar logo
  • Picks up your theme’s Global Styles automatically

REST API

Every resource now has a full REST API. If you’re building integrations, automations, or headless setups, you can manage Siren entirely through API calls.

  • Full CRUD for all entity types
  • Field selection via fields= parameter
  • Bulk actions for obligations
  • Manual attribution endpoint for crediting collaborators via transactions
  • Event ingestion API for triggering conversions from external systems

New Integrations

  • LearnDash – reward collaborators when learners complete courses or lessons
  • Event Ingestion API – send conversion events from any external system via REST, for headless and hybrid setups

Recipe Import

Siren now supports recipe import. These are pre-built program configurations you can apply in one click. Each import is tracked so you can see which recipe was applied, when, and by whom.

Plugin Tiers

Siren is now available in three tiers:

  • Siren Lite (Free) – unlimited programs, affiliates, and conversions with percentage and fixed-per-transaction commissions
  • Siren Essentials – adds program groups, distributors, the standalone collaborator portal, advanced attribution models, lead tracking, and non-sale conversion events
  • Siren Plus – multi-site support with priority support and early feature access

Internationalization

All frontend strings are now translatable, including the help content throughout the admin interface.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed engagement type format alignment between frontend and backend
  • Fixed line item filter categories to use slugs instead of numeric IDs
  • Fixed distributor schedule storage
  • Fixed program group initializer ordering
  • Fixed conversion event broadcasting on bulk approve/reject
  • Fixed draft obligations appearing in conversion detail views
  • Fixed fulfillment and payout endpoint paths
  • Fixed activity trends chart data mapping
  • Fixed cross-page navigation in WordPress admin

Breaking Changes

  • The admin interface is now React-based. Custom PHP admin screen modifications from previous versions will need to be adapted.
  • The REST API uses a fields= parameter pattern instead of include=extended.
  • The Essentials plugin directory has changed from siren to siren-essentials. If you’re updating from a previous version, deactivate the old plugin, install the new one, and reactivate. Your data is stored in the database and won’t be affected.
