v1.9.0 — AI Widget Builder + free Brand Kits
Highlights
- AI Widget Builder (Pro). Eight MCP tools let an AI agent design custom Elementor widgets from a structured spec — no hand-written PHP. The plugin compiles the spec + an HTML template into a sandboxed
Widget_Baseclass (35 control types, optional per-widget CSS/JS) that appears under a "Custom (EMCP)" category in the editor. A runtime safety net keeps a malformed widget from breaking the editor. Off-by-default; managed on the new Widget Builder admin tab. - 10 free brand kits. The Brand Kits tab now ships 10 curated color + typography kits anyone can apply for free — one click re-skins your site's global palette and fonts, with backup-before-apply and restore. The full 50-kit library stays Pro.
- Get Support button in the admin header, on every tab, linking to the new support portal at support.msrbuilds.com.
- Pagination on the Prompts, Templates, Brand Kits, and Changelog admin pages (filter-aware).
Fixes
- Prompts page freeze — off-screen 1px-wide copy textareas forced a pathological reflow with 50+ prompts; they're now
display:none. - Atomic (V4) detection (#47, thanks @BenKalsky) — atomic tools register based on whether the atomic element types are registered (or the
e_atomic_elements/atomic_widgetsexperiment is on), not theELEMENTOR_VERSIONconstant, and not on the page-editor opt-in alone.
