Global Class Manager

While class-based styling has been a pillar feature of building websites with Bricks for a long time, managing those classes hasn’t been easy. Especially if you want to perform any action like renaming or duplicating your classes in bulk. This changes in Bricks 1.9.5, which introduces the global class manager.

Access the global class manager by clicking the “CSS3” icon in the builder toolbar or through the "CMD/CTRL + ." keyboard shortcut.

If needed, you can disable the class manager under Bricks > Settings > General > Disable global class manager.

New interaction: JavaScript function (action)

You can now run any JavaScript function after an interaction has been triggered by selecting the “JavaScript (function)” option from the interaction “Action” dropdown.

Noteworthy improvements & bug fixes

The Nav Menu element supports “advanced menu properties”. The Template Manager now remembers the last selected template source and the “Import image” setting, enhancing user convenience.

Improvements focus on enhanced accessibility, including better label association in the Comments element and improved radio and checkbox field accessibility in the Form element. The Builder’s performance has been optimized, also addressing the search lag in the Elements panel.

Critical bug fixes include resolutions for issues in Coming Soon mode, Infinite scroll, various elements in WooCommerce, and more. The software’s overall stability and performance have also been enhanced through updates to the latest Vue.js (3.4.7) and all other packages.
