Bricks 1.12.2

February 27, 2025

On this page

This is the last scheduled release before we start providing manual downloads for Bricks 2.0 (alpha, beta, RC’s) for testing next month.

The focus was on bug fixes and improvements rather than new features, which there’ll be plenty of in 2.0 🙂

Bricks 1.12.2 comes with the following highlights …

New “Query Results Summary” element & “Results per page” filter action

Displaying your query results just became more powerful thanks to the new “Query Results Summary” element and the new “Results per page” filter action (available for the radio & select filters).

Documentation:

Form: Honeypot spam protection & PHP filter for custom actions

Protect your Bricks forms from unwanted spam by turning any form field into a “Honeypot”. Once enabled, the honeypot field acts as a spam trap. It will not be visible to users, but will capture any bots that fill it out, and prevent the form from being submitted.

Programmatically process new custom actions to your forms using the new bricks/form/action/{form_action} filter.

Various component improvements

Components now support Query Filters, AJAX pagination, Load more. In-builder component performance has been improved. Fixes for component drag & drop, form actions, nested query loops, and component import are included.

Better import experiences

We improved the import capabilities for various aspects.

Need to import the pasted images/SVGs? You can now enable this behaviour under Bricks > Settings > Builder: Import pasted images/SVGs.

Want to import images when importing a template from the admin area (Bricks Templates)? Just tick the new “Import images” checkbox.

The global class importer now also exports/imports class categories.

Remote Templates: Exclude specific templates

There’s a new setting under Bricks > Settings > Templates > Exclude templates where you can select all the templates that you don’t want to expose for remote template access.
