Internal Bricks links and external Bricks links now appear under their own submenus.
Fixed CSS Editor: the CSS editor panel now stays fixed at the bottom of the structure panel at all times. The structure tree scrolls independently above it, so the editor is always accessible regardless of how many elements are on the page. Works correctly with Advanced Themer active.
1.1.9 ( May 25, 2026 )
Fixed compatibility issues with Advanced Themer.
Added a setting for Bricks Menu in the WP admin bar.
Separated Admin Bar Menu and Enhancements into separate accordion sections on the plugin settings page.
Added full WordPress JavaScript i18n support (wp-i18n) to BEM Classes, CSS Editor, and CSS Variables Context Menu editor enhancements: all user-facing strings are now translatable via standard wp.i18n.__() calls and wp_set_script_translations().
Added Class Tooltip enhancement (Beta): hold Shift or Cmd/Ctrl while hovering over any element in the Bricks structure panel to instantly see a tooltip listing all active CSS global classes on that element — no need to select elements one by one.
Modernized all JavaScript files to ES6+ syntax: arrow functions, const/let, optional chaining (?.), nullish coalescing (??), template literals, for…of, destructuring, and spread across all six enhancement modules.
1.1.7 ( May 20, 2026 )
Improved CSS Variables Context Menu: added “All / Rel” toggle button to switch between relevant-only and all variables; preference is persisted to localStorage so custom design system users only set it once.
Improved CSS Variables Context Menu: auto-fallback to all variables when category filtering returns no results, ensuring custom-prefixed CSS variables like –utopia-space-xs and –brand-color-primary are never silently hidden.
Improved CSS Variables Context Menu: added unanchored regex patterns for color (-color-, -clr-), spacing (-space-, -spacing-, -gap-), and font-size (-step-) to correctly classify custom-prefixed variables into their categories.
Fixed Auto-select Class: replaced hasOwnProperty check with Array.isArray to prevent a TypeError crash when _cssGlobalClasses exists on an element but is not an array (e.g. after a malformed JSON import).
Fixed Keyboard Shortcuts: native <select> dropdowns inside the Bricks panel are now correctly treated as editable targets, preventing shortcuts from firing while a dropdown is focused.
Removed unused internal constant CACHE_ATTR from the CSS Variables Context Menu module.
1.1.6 ( May 20, 2026 )
Fixed translations not loading: text domain renamed from bricks-navigator to brickslabs-bricks-navigator to match the plugin slug, which is how WordPress names downloaded language pack files.
Fixed translations not loading for users whose profile language differs from the site language: load_plugin_textdomain() moved from plugins_loaded to init (priority 1) so the effective locale is fully resolved before the translation file is looked up.
Fixed BEM Classes dialog styling in Bricks light mode.
1.1.5 ( May 19, 2026 )
Fixed plugin internationalization: added Domain Path: /languages header, created languages/ directory, and generated bricks-navigator.pot so translations from translate.wordpress.org are correctly loaded.
Fixed CSS Variables Context Menu: hovering over a variable now previews the value in the canvas without writing to Bricks undo history (only input event fires on hover; change fires only on click).
Fixed CSS Variables Context Menu: context menu now closes when clicking anywhere on the Bricks canvas.
Fixed CSS Variables Context Menu: variable scanning now reads from the parent document stylesheets (via window.parent.document), picking up all CSS custom properties defined on the page rather than only those visible inside the builder iframe.
Fixed external and community admin bar links to include rel=”noopener noreferrer” on all target=”_blank” links.
1.1.4 ( May 19, 2026 )
Added CSS Editor enhancement (Beta): inline CSS editor panel in the Bricks element panel with two-way binding between CSS and controls. Editable CSS maps back to layout controls; unmappable properties (color, background, border, etc.) are stored in the element’s Custom CSS field.
Added BEM Classes enhancement (Beta): adds a BEM class action to each Bricks structure panel layer to choose a block class, review descendants, exclude specific elements, and assign global classes in BEM format. A checkbox to move ID styles to the class is provided.
Added CSS Variables Context Menu enhancement (Beta): right-click any CSS value input in the Bricks editor to insert a CSS variable from your registered custom properties – live preview on hover.
1.1.3 ( May 14, 2026 )
Refactored codebase to use OOP with namespaced classes (Settings, Admin_Bar, Editor) replacing procedural include files.
Added Auto-select Class enhancement: automatically activates the first unlocked class in the classes panel when an element with a class is selected in the editor.
Added Keyboard Shortcuts enhancement: single-key shortcuts in the Bricks editor to insert elements (S to add Section, C to add Container, B to add Block, D to add Div, T to add Basic Text, H to add Heading, I to add Image, R to add Rich Text, L to add Text Link) and wrap with Block (W); Alt+H to toggle :hover.
Enhancements section added to the settings page with both new features disabled by default.
Fixed unwanted gap in the Bricks editor when admin bar was set to show.
Scoped scrollable overflow CSS to Templates and Pages lists only, fixing Community sub-submenus not opening on hover.
Settings page styles now loaded via an enqueued stylesheet instead of inline output.
Editor layout-fix CSS now attached via wp_add_inline_style() instead of a raw echo in wp_head.
Cached wp_get_theme() and Bricks permission checks for the duration of each request.
Removed dead inc/pages.php file (legacy kn- prefix, never included).
1.1.2 ( Aug 13, 2025 )
Fixed the CSS for making long Pages/Templates lists scrollable.
1.1.1 ( Aug 09, 2025 )
Fixed the plugin settings menu visibility when no third-party plugins are active.
1.1.0 ( Aug 09, 2025 )
Fixed the CSS for the “Show admin bar in Bricks” setting in Bricks 2.0.
Improved performance and reliability. Plugin now gracefully degrades when Bricks isn’t available. Resolved cPanel WP Toolkit SSO login issue and prevents similar problems with WP-CLI, automated backups, or any other tools that load WordPress without themes.
Revamped UI.
Community, Internal and External Bricks links have been disabled by default. They are now opt-in rather than opt-out.
1.0.3 ( Dec 03, 2023 )
Fixed the CSS for the “Show admin bar in Bricks” setting for Bricks 1.9.3.
1.0.2 ( Nov 10, 2023 )
Fixed the CSS for the “Show admin bar in Bricks” setting.
1.0.1 ( Jul 30, 2023 )
Link to WooCommerce Bricks Settings page now appears only if WooCommerce is active.
Added “Add New” link under Templates.
Added “Plugin Settings” node which links to Bricks-specific plugins’ settings pages.
Added a “Bricks Navigator” Settings page under Bricks admin menu. The Settings page has options to show the admin bar in the editor and hide unwanted items.
Added a link to plugin’s settings page in the Plugins list screen.
