Background Tasks Bulk Actions, Lombiq's MSBuild Targets improvements - This week in Orchard (09/10/2026)

Tired of enabling or disabling background tasks one by one? The Background Tasks admin list now has bulk actions, just like the Features list.

Ever changed an email/SMS or any other setting in the admin and wondered why the tenant had to reload for it to take effect? A new IOptionsMonitor refresh pipeline updates site settings-backed options without a shell release.

And how much of your module's project file is the same boilerplate as every other module's? Our custom MSBuild SDKs for Orchard Core handle references and package management for you.

This week's changes come from Mike Alhayek, with a demo by Sára El-Saig.

Orchard Core 3.0, Admin Theme in Orchard Core: The Developer cheat sheet - This week in Orchard (19/06/2026)

We are thrilled to announce that Orchard Core 3.0 is out! Check out this post to know everything about the latest release of Orchard Core. In the coming weeks, we will explore the latest features and additions in Orchard Core 3.0!

New documentation by contributor Quoc Bao An Nguyen covers how to work with the Admin Theme in Orchard Core for building consistent, maintainable custom admin interfaces.

Thanks to contributor ghazi1567, ReCaptcha settings can now be configured via ConfigureReCaptchaSettings(), allowing keys to be pulled from appsettings.json rather than only from the admin dashboard.

A new demo by Mike Alhayek showcases how the AI Suite can route chat sessions to live human agents (e.g., via Genesys), enabling hybrid AI-and-human support workflows.

We attended Digitalk's BeerUP Tech Fest, where we networked and gave a talk on .NET web architecture in regulated environments!
