Blocksify – Gutenberg Blocks & Page Builder for the Block Editor

Changelog

1.1.0

Release Date – August 10, 2026

• New: Container Link — turn a whole Container into a link, with overlay or wrapper render modes, custom attributes, nofollow / sponsored / new-tab options, and screen reader text.
• New: Background hover zoom — scale a background image on hover, on both Section and Container, with no extra markup and no JavaScript.
• New: Section Gutter — a responsive control for the space between the section edge and its content.
• New: Dynamic Templates can set their content width to Full, Theme, or a custom value in px, rem, em, or %.
• New: Duplicate a Dynamic Template from the Templates dashboard; the copy keeps every template setting and appears directly under the original.
• New: Post Content is available as a Dynamic Data field on the Text block, rendered as formatted rich content, alongside Product Content for WooCommerce.
• New: Product Gallery swaps the entire image set — main image, thumbnails, and lightbox — when a variation has its own gallery, including galleries added by additional-variation-image plugins.
• New: Form styling adds hidden-but-accessible labels, placeholder typography and color, wrapper and submit layout and position controls, submit CSS classes, and z-index.
• New: Product Add to Cart adds a responsive inline or stacked purchase layout plus margin controls for the label, quantity, and button.
• Improved: The Image block splits horizontal and vertical sizing between the wrapper and the image, and handles dynamic images, attachment metadata, full-size media links, focal points, and caption alignment more predictably.
• Improved: The Gallery inspector was reorganized around a single Settings panel with a larger layout picker and clearer badge controls, and the WooCommerce variation is now named Product Gallery.
• Improved: Gallery navigation is more accessible and no longer flashes chrome it will immediately hide.
• Improved: Product Add to Cart consolidates its inspector into one Settings panel, always keeps linked product blocks in sync with the chosen variation, and defaults the quantity selector to Stepper.
• Improved: Content Loop presets can name their own inspector panel, so a Product Loop reads “Product presets” instead of the generic label.
• Improved: The Product Loop item-hooks toggle was removed from the inspector; saved blocks keep their behavior and the blocksify_woo_loop_item_hooks filter remains available.
• Improved: The Design Library imports pattern media in batches and rewrites media URLs across every background field.
• Improved: Editor block labels use the WordPress system font stack.
• Improved: The package published to WordPress.org no longer contains developer tooling.
• Fixed: The dashboard Forms tab showed a “Coming soon” placeholder on every production install instead of the Forms management screen.
• Fixed: Background parallax and zoom never ran on the frontend when a Container owned the background layer.
• Fixed: A semi-transparent background overlay could paint over text, and a background image could swallow clicks on links inside the block.
• Fixed: A Content Loop set to inherit the archive query listed unrelated posts when the archive itself matched nothing.
• Fixed: Content Loop paging links and requests targeted the wrong site on subdirectory and domain-mapped multisite installs.
• Fixed: Page CSS could go stale after editing widgets, changing widget areas, publishing in the Customizer, or saving shared blocks.
• Fixed: The shadow color picker closed as soon as the alpha value changed.
• Fixed: Margin previews in the editor did not always match the published page.
• Fixed: Dynamic post content previews rendered without their CSS on singular and referenced-post templates.
• Fixed: Theme content and wide widths now match between the Dynamic Template editor and the frontend, including WooCommerce single-product templates.
• Fixed: The gallery lightbox opened underneath the WordPress admin bar, and its thumbnails showed a stray red border.
• Fixed: Galleries with a single image no longer render arrows, dots, or a one-tile thumbnail strip.

• Improved: Text blocks add eight pure-CSS highlight styles, reveal-on-scroll animation with speed control, and toolbar text alignment.
• Improved: Tabs add per-device responsive settings, stack and carousel overflow modes, and adjustable tab spacing.
• Improved: This 1.0 hardening release validates saved CSS values, units, and token names; keeps restricted Content Loop posts private; limits form management to administrators; and keeps reCAPTCHA and Mailchimp secrets server-side.
• Improved: Uninstall cleanup now removes plugin data, with an opt-in setting to also remove saved forms, style classes, and templates.
• Improved: WordPress 6.8 or newer is now required for a consistent, supported editing experience.
• Fixed: Seven editor controls that previously had no effect now work correctly on published pages.
