Bricks 2.3.6

May 28, 2026
On this page

This release focuses on bug fixes and targeted improvements across the builder, WPML, WooCommerce, accessibility, and frontend rendering.

Improvements

  • Scale generators now warn before creating duplicate variables and let you cancel without adding duplicates.
  • Component property reordering is easier to discover in the builder.
  • Read-only Rating elements now expose a single accessible rating label without screen readers announcing each icon separately.
  • Offcanvas interaction toggles now update their aria-label when panels open and close.

Notable Fixes

  • License activation now posts directly to the final API host, avoiding redirect-related 404 failures.
  • Builder searches can now find public posts, pages, and CPT items even when their post type is excluded from search.
  • WPML template selectors now use the edited page or template language instead of the builder UI language.
  • WPML translations now apply correctly to Bricks control text when control keys contain underscores.
  • Slider and Carousel now apply Items to show at the correct breakpoints in mobile-first setups, including custom breakpoints.
  • Dynamic “featured_image” backgrounds now refresh correctly when copied blocks or components are used on another page.
  • Bricks now blocks inserting or pasting a component into itself, including indirect loops that could break rendering.
  • WooCommerce cart templates are updated for WooCommerce 10.8.0.
  • Visual Grid Builder now updates nestable grid item positions correctly after replacing a non-nestable child.
  • Section template hooks with post/page conditions no longer render on term archives just because the term ID matches.
  • SEO analysis now counts full post content correctly when the source post contains a Gutenberg More block.
