β π Elementor v3.5.0 Beta 6 Release π #16840
Comments
excellent. It would be great if the transform feature worked for sections and columns as well. Currently only works on widgets. There seems to be a problem using the inner section widget : Untitled.Project.mp4 |
Please see : #16793 |
Hi @rodolphebertozzo - thank you for reporting, we will investigate this on @79ho3ein - thank you for your feedback. There is no plan to apply transformation for columns and sections since they are the main blocks for the page layout, and other elements are relative to them. As for the inner section: we will investigate. |
Hi! Yes, that's all very nice. CSS transform and text stroke are very useful for the design, but the other things are probably not that important in my eyes and especially not at this point in time. But still nice that Elementor is being improved in small steps in some places. There is a video from Elementor that I think was released in the summer with an announcement of features that should appear in 2021. Will we actually see all of the announced features in Elementor in 2021? I think time is getting scarcer, especially considering the beta lead time and only one milestone is removed from the list in this version. What can already be seen in Dev or Beta Edition is marked in bold and what is already included in the official release is ticked off. There is still a lot (important) missing. You also posted this picture on Twitter. Is that a serious picture and if so, when is this new surface planned for? Thank you in advance for your feedback and wish you a good start to the week. |
Hi @fabianenzensperger
We encourage you to activate the experience and improve your page performance. Thanks |
hi @DorShahar, Will neew editor ui be released in 2021? |
Hi all Thanks |
Hi @DorShahar, |
Hi @DorShahar, OK, thanks for the info and sorry that I mentioned it above. If you need help in this regard, I am happy to offer it via a different communication channel. But from now on it's only about this beta, sorry. π Greetings |
Hey @DorShahar, you are definitely right and the performance is actually noticeable! I am aware of these things, I just didn't tick it off because there were always improvements over the year and one or the other thing has not yet been completed or there could be further improvements right now with regard to "Div / Container Widget", "Flexbox Container" and "Nested Elements". That should again ensure performance, I think. π€ |
Hi @fabien, I agree with your state of mind! |
Hi, the rotate feature is difficult to use as there is no adjustment of the point of rotation (which should be in the center of the element). The element would disappear in the layout very often (eg with the title widget). |
Hi @DorShahar, based on the post here: https://developers.elementor.com/v3-5-planned-deprecations/ it seems that Elementor 3.5 has introduced some fundamental changes in managing the widgets and controls (registering, unregistering, etc.). Many methods related to creating the new widgets are now softly deprecated since 3.5. The problem is, that the developers docs still doesn't reflect this change (see: https://developers.elementor.com/add-custom-functionality/#Registering_New_Widgets). The new method Could you please clarify us these new changes and how do they affect creating custom widgets and controls? Thanks. |
wow - thanks to everyone for their hard work! Elementor is a phenomenal tool. |
In connection with Multi-Select ... Untitled.Project.mp4 |
Hi @DorShahar and @shilo-ey, Thoughts on text stroke and borderIn the (for example) design and prototype tool "Sketch" and also in the Affintity / Adobe programs there is the following function: Namely, the possibility of displaying the frame or the text stroke (which is nothing more than a frame) "inside", "center" and "outside". I think something like that should be adjustable with this function, because most of the time the text stroke or the frame in Elementor looks very curious and this is probably due to the standard alignment "center" that Elementor uses. I would like some feedback on that. Because this could also be integrated into Elementor for all types of border or stroke. Suggestion to favoritesAnd in addition to the favorites function, I also notice that this group, like the search function, should be pinned to the top. So adhesive, so that you don't have to scroll back up to find your favorite widget. Good idea? |
CSS Transform problem in EditorTransform a button in the editor is a little bit buggy. In Front end it looks "good" (of chourse not, because it's a test with weird combination of tranforms π ). Editor: Frontend: Maybe you should test the individual behavior of the various widgets again, because I haven't checked all of them. π |
We are planning to release the new developers docs before the final release of Elementor 3.5. You will find there all the changes, with new tutorials. Meanwhile, check the deprecations post in the developers blog. Also, keep in mind that deprecated methods won't break your code. Soft deprecation last 4 major version, then you have another 4 major version of hard deprecation. Only after 8 version we delete the old code. Theoretically, you can use the old methods until Elementor 4.3.0. |
Hi @momo-fr, thanks for reaching out. Can you share a video that explains why it is difficult to use? Hi @79ho3ein , thank you for your feedback. However, I couldn't reproduce the scenario in your video. @fabianenzensperger , as for your comments:
Hi @Kishorchandth , thank you for checking our beta.
Thanks again to everyone. |
@DorShahar, see here, if we can select the origin point of the element (in my case top/left) we can rotate title correctly in editor i think. Another point seems to me to be missing for drag & drop function in the editor: being able to drag a plain text file (.txt). |
@momo-fr - thank you for the video. There is no bug. As for D&D a Thanks. |
Thank you @DorShahar, I have missing this settings. |
@DorShahar Thanks for the answers. Should I open a thread with this feature request or have you already made a note of it? |
@fabianenzensperger - please open and connect to this issue, so it will be easier for us to track. |
I think it would be great if the Drag from Desktop feature also supports the lottie widget. Dragging the json file into the editor, adds the Lottie widget. |
Hi, I've came accross quite important change in legacy css file "elementor\assets\css\frontend-legacy.css". For some reason the predefined column padding settings were moved from Why have you done this? I would expect legacy mode should provide flaweless experience for older sites, but this one broke all my custom settings. BTW, using those settings I tried to deal with this problem: #452. Unfortunatelly, every new update makes my custom solution more and more complicated: first you have removed the Is there a reason for this or is this some kind of overlook? Thanks for the info. |
Ok, thanks, unfortunately in the last few weeks of a beta we usually don't get any more regular information from the developers. πββοΈ Well, they must have a lot to do.. π |
DoesnΒ΄t converting eicons into inline SVG increase the size of the DOM? |
HI @black-eye
You are correct - and indeed we need to give an option for backward compatibility.
Hi @ROGMARQ14 - this is an experiment. You can activate or deactivate it. There are pros and cons for each side. |
This update seems to introduce a lot of changes, and many hard deprecated (removed) code. Please, before releasing or pushing the update make sure to prepare the public accordingly by releasing a post way before the version is available, explaining what is new and how people can prepare for this update to avoid the obvious public outrage when things go wrong. Especially since many users have add-ons installed that will probably break with this release if they aren't compatible. Make sure the changelog is updated before releasing. Make sure to let us know it will be released before it does, instead of simply closing the issue saying it was released 3 days after people already started updating through WordPress. Let's avoid doing the same mistakes of the past ok? This will be highly appreciated! |
Yes, it will increase DOM size a bit but you also save 80KB from eicons, more than 150KB from FontAwesome icons. |
Well, by inspecting the original problem, it seems that in 4.4.5 you've released a "feature", which broke the existing absolute possitioned layouts. So you have decided to fix this issue by breaking yet another part of the design. What was the purpose of the original change in the first place? There is no reply from the devs in the original thread to this question and the users there don't seem to understand why this change has been introduced and why it wasn't mentioned in the change log. Wouldn't be the best solution to roll back the change in 4.4.5? Maintaing Elementor sites has become huge pain, especially when you've done this big mistake of customizing it to your needs. It's like patching the patches that fixes the patches over another patches. Unfortunately we need these custom enhancements to achieve basic stuff which isn't provided by default. |
Hi @zeinnicholas - regarding your comment. For each version, we are releasing deprecations blog post. Also to this one. See this link at the end of the first post (end of the changelog). @black-eye - the fix was part of the Rescue DOM elements experiment. During the experiment, we harmed sites in v3.4.5, and therefore, we fixed it. |
Hi All, This version is the release candidate (RC) and includes the following change:
Thanks |
Hello @DorShahar thanks for the response. Let me be more clear, perhaps you didn't understand what I meant: At this point, it's common practice of Elementor to push releases (especially Core releases) before making any announcement to the general public. The releases are pushed by Sunday and an announcement is only made in Elementor's blog 3 to 4 days later. For us, beta testers, we are aware of the changes. But for the general public this adds confusion, followed by frustration when things go wrong. I'm asking if you can please do the other way around:
This new version will inevitably break some sites, most likely because of cache, but probably also because of incompatible add-ons. I'm asking you to be preemptive. Not just for devs like us, but to the general public. Thanks for your hard work. |
Hi @zeinnicholas - thanks for clarifying this one! |
So 3.5.0 is rolling out? π€ |
Hello All! Core v3.5.0 has been officially released! Thank you all! |
@DorShahar With pleasure, I'm looking forward to 3.6! Can we expect a beta this year? What happens to the rest of the things that have been announced for 2021? Will they come in 2022? I mean Mega menu, Nested Elements, Flexbox Container, Elementor Presets and Page transitions.. |
What happened to the Container widget? It's not available in 3.5.0π€¨ |
It's not in 3.5! it's in dev Beta 3.6.0 |
Beta 6 UPDATED - PLEASE READ BELOW!
Hi Elementor Beta Testers,
We are incredibly excited to introduce our new beta version, Elementor v3.5, which is all about increasing your design capabilities and improving your workflow.
The new design features will allow you to elevate the appearance of your website and achieve visual effects that previously would have required additional coding or 3rd party plugins.
With the workflow improvements, you will be able to shave off significant time from your projectβs turnaround by improving productivity and eliminating redundant tasks.
Try out Elementor v3.5 Beta and let us know what you think about our newest additions, including:
Before you test, please make sure you are using:
Enhancing Styling Capabilities
Meet CSS Transform - Animate any Element
Would you like to rotate any element on your page on any axis, or enlarge an element upon hover to achieve highly engaging and trendy effects, but you donβt know CSS?
No problem!
From now on, you can rotate, scale, skew, offset and flip any element on your page, within Elementor, without requiring a single line of code, that way - you gain complete control over your designs and achieve capabilities that werenβt available before.
To take your element design to the next level, you can pair CSS Transform with our Pro feature - Motion Effects, to create incredible designs, without a single line of CSS or an extra plugin.
Following is a list of CSS transformations available:
Hereβs how it works:
a. Make sure you updated to Elementor Pro 3.5.0
b. Apply scrolling effects to this widget via Advanced > Motion Effects > Scrolling effects
c. Play around with the different options and make sure everything works as expected with motion effect as well
Text Stroke
Text Stroke is a styling property that allows you to add a text stroke (outline) to any heading you wish to.
Adding Text Stroke allows you to highlight specific elements on the page by giving them an outline. With this styling option, you can set the font to transparent, and use text stroke to create an outline, or you can choose a color for the text, and a separate color for the outline to make your design stand out.
Text stroke will be available for the following widgets: Icon Box, Tabs, Accordion, and Text Path. It will also be available for the following Pro widgets in the upcoming Elementor Pro v3.6: Posts, Animated Headline, Price List, Price Table, Flip Box, Call to Action, Testimonial Carousel, and Countdown.
Hereβs how it works:
Word Spacing Control
Similar to Letter Spacing, the new Word Spacing control in the typography group control allows you to set the distance between one word and another. Doing so enables you to increase your design customization of textual elements, including but not limited to headings, text editors, buttons, and more.
** Hereβs how it works:**
Improving Workflow and Productivity
Meet Favorite Widgets - Save Precious Time and Pin your Favorite Widgets
As you tend to generate an affinity towards specific widgets and use them often, weβve created a dedicated βFavoritesβ section in the Editor Panel for you to pin your favorite widgets to. While we always encourage you to incorporate new widgets in your websites, when they are appropriate, pinning widgets to your βFavoritesβ section will allow you to work faster by personalizing the Editor to you.
Once you mark widgets as your favorite, they will appear in a dedicated βFavoritesβ section. Widgets added to this section will appear in alphabetical order.
Hereβs how it works:
Multi-Select - Work Faster and Impact Several Elements at Once
As you build out your websites, you may notice that the style of some sections, columns or widgets repeat themselves throughout the page, or that you would like to copy, or delete a number of them simultaneously. To improve your workflow and allow you to scale your website creation, you can leverage multi-select to impact multiple elements at once; including: copy, delete, duplicate, paste, paste style, and reset style.
For example, by clicking ctrl (or CMD in Mac) while clicking a number of widgets, columns or sections in the editor or the navigator, you can delete them instantly, instead of deleting them one by one. Another example is when you have a number of similar elements, such as button widgets in a column, and you want to make them all in one row, you can style one of them to be in-line, and instantly copy that style to all the other buttons, at once.
Hereβs how it works:
Drag from Desktop - Improve your Workflow by Dragging Media Files Directly into the Editor
Skip the: βupload to media library,β drag in a widget ,and select the media file steps, and simply drag media files from your desktop directly onto the page. You can drag one or several media files to the editor, and have them all appear in one section, making your workflow easier, and more efficient.
Dragging a media file onto the page will automatically add the media files to the media library, and create the correlating widget on the page (a dragged image will automatically place an image widget in the section, and a video will automatically place a video widget in the section).
In addition to media files, youβll be able to easily drag any saved templates files (.json) onto your website.
Hereβs how it works:
Tweak: Improved Experiments UI
The improved Experiments user interface makes it easier for you to understand the maturity and status of each experiment. The top section of experiments displays those that are ongoing, and displays their status - alpha or beta, whereas the bottom section displays those that are more stable.
With the new interface, you can also activate and deactivate all experiments in a single-click.
Hereβs how it works:
Eicons library is now supported in the inline SVG experiment
This new experiment achieves faster page load by changing the loading mechanism of eicons into inline SVG. Keeping up with our commitment to simplifying the process and making constant performance improvement so your website can load rapidly, with this experiment turned on, we reduce CSS and Woff size on each page load by up to 111KB. Read more about how Elementor improved asset loading.
Hereβs how it works:
