Feb 22, 2023 - v1.7

This release focuses on tying up a lot of loose ends, third-party plugin compatibility issues, general bug fixes, and improvements. Plus, of course, a few new handy features.

Builder Lag On Complex Pages
Users working on complex pages (plus a lot of global classes) often experienced a serious lag while editing in the builder. 1.7 comes with a completely overhauled logic of how the state of elements and classes in the builder is updated, which should remedy this sort of lag.

Due to the nature of this change, please inform us immediately (via email or the forum) if editing elements or global classes in the builder, or using the undo/redo feature is causing any issues.

New Experimental Setting: Disable Chaining Element & Global Classes
When working with global classes on a Bricks element, the element class is chained to the global class like this .brxe-heading.my-global-class.

The reason for this default is to ensure a global class with styles defined on different elements does not cause any conflicts. This can occur as the CSS selector of a styling control is set on the control itself.

The possibility of this happening is rather low. But still, it is there, which is why we introduce this setting as an experiment first.

You can enable this setting under: Bricks > Settings > Performance > Disable chaining element & global class

Once enabled global classes are output without the element class like: .my-global-class

Meaning you can use your global classes on non-Bricks elements too.

If the feedback is positive, the next step is to provide one global class CSS file (when using the external file CSS loading method) rather than loading those rules inline.

Prevent Deleting All Global Classes By Accident
This bug, despite multiple reports, we were never able to replicate.

1.7 addresses it by only updating the global classes in the database if not empty.

The only minor downside is that you’ll always have at least one class in the global class dropdown. You can always manually delete by removing the bricks_global_classes entry from the wp_options table.

If you still experience global classes being wiped, please email us immediately.

Same if you notice any .undefined class names on an element. It’s crucial that you stop working on this site immediately, and email us right away (incl. temporary admin login details if possible, so we can debug it properly).
