2.10.0 – 2026-10-13

• New: Multi-step forms. Use “Split into steps” in a form’s Settings (or the Multi-step template) to show a long form one step at a time, with Next / Back and a progress indicator. Next matches your Submit button, Submit takes its place on the last step, and you can set a Progress colour and style each step title. Once the form is sent, only your success message shows. Without JavaScript the form shows as one page.
• New: Form fields can show or hide based on other answers (“Show Company name when Customer type is Business”). Set it under a field’s Settings → Conditional logic. Hidden fields are skipped when the form is submitted, even if they’re required, and steps whose fields are all hidden are skipped too.
• New: Send each form submission to a webhook (Zapier, Make, a CRM…). Set the URL in the form’s Settings panel and a signing secret under DesignSetGo → Settings → Integrations. Failed deliveries retry automatically, each submission shows its delivery status with a Resend option, and the URL field warns you when an address can’t receive submissions.
• New: Export form submissions to CSV from the Form Submissions screen, filtered by form and date range. Columns use your field labels (submissions received before this update use field names), and the form filter names the page each form is on.
• New: Layout overrides for Section, Row and Grid, and for the blocks directly inside them. Under the block’s Settings, set its size, spacing, gap, position and layering separately for desktop, tablet and mobile.
• New: Grid has Tablet and Mobile Column Templates, so tablets and phones can have uneven column widths too, such as a narrow column beside a wide one.
• New: Custom CSS has Desktop, Tablet and Mobile tabs. Tablet CSS applies at 1024px wide and below, and Mobile CSS at 767px and below.
• Improved: Grids set to two or more columns on mobile now keep the column spans you set, instead of forcing every item to one column. Check those Grids on a phone after updating. Single-column mobile Grids still stack as before, and a Grid with Align Rows on still gives each card one column so their rows line up.
• Improved: The submission details screen shows each field’s label alongside its field name, and a ticked checkbox reads “Yes” there and in the CSV export instead of “1”.
• Improved: Bundled patterns use fictional company and person names instead of real brands.
• Security: Your Turnstile secret key and form webhook signing secret are no longer shown to AI assistants connected to your site through DesignSetGo’s settings tools. They stay hidden, as they already were on the settings screen.
• Security: Form email logs no longer record recipient addresses or subjects, and Map error logs no longer record the address you entered. Both can contain personal details.
• Fix: Forms now send when a visitor’s browser has JavaScript turned off or blocked, and show your success or error message afterwards. Before, the answers were lost. If a submission fails, the visitor’s answers stay filled in and the message says what to fix, such as a required field left empty.
• Fix: Typing into a block’s empty Custom CSS box no longer jumps out of the box after the first letter. Before, only that letter was kept as CSS and the rest of what you typed went into the block’s own text.
• Fix: Adding or removing a background video in the editor no longer closes the block’s settings and moves you out of the panel you were working in.
• Fix: Screen readers no longer announce the decorative drawing in Icon, Icon List and Icon Button blocks on top of their label.
• Fix: Hotspot markers in the editor now sit exactly where they appear on your site. Before, every marker after the first was shown lower than its real position.
• Fix: An Advanced Heading’s font size, line height and letter spacing now apply to the heading, instead of being overridden by your theme’s heading styles.
• Fix: Form message boxes, date pickers and dropdowns use your theme’s font instead of the browser’s default.
• Fix: Outline buttons in the bundled patterns show their label instead of a solid dark box. This also fixes buttons already on your pages.
• Fix: Countdown patterns start 30 days out when inserted, instead of showing “The countdown has ended!”.

2.9.0 – 2026-09-29

• Security: Public Markdown, excerpts and generated exports respect visibility for logged-out visitors. Old plugin-owned caches and static exports are invalidated on update. If cleanup cannot write to the filesystem, resolve the administrator notice before regenerating exports.
• Security: Dynamic Query refresh templates stay on the server behind signed, viewer-bound opaque references; hidden block content no longer appears in page-source data.
• Security: Turnstile-enabled forms accept submissions only after successful Cloudflare verification. Missing keys and verification outages stop submissions; forms without Turnstile are unchanged.
• Performance: Load only the icons and extension assets a page uses. Blocks, extensions and icons added by Query load-more or an authorized live refresh initialize without a full page reload.
• Performance: Responsive images and image dimensions reduce unnecessary downloads and layout shift. Countdown updates pause in background tabs; Slider drag listeners exist only while dragging.
• Improved: More native block transforms preserve content and settings. Section and Row orientation changes no longer replace the block automatically. New Maps start with a location search.
• Improved: Clearer block inspectors, a Scroll Accordion Add Item toolbar control, theme-driven icon and marker sizes, and refreshed translations in all nine bundled locales.
• Fix: Browser-valid custom form patterns no longer receive a conflicting PHP interpretation. Supported shared patterns remain enforced on the server; unsupported custom syntax stays browser-only, alongside native field limits.
• Fix: Dynamic icon requests are split into batches of at most 100 names. Incomplete and failed answers remain retryable, so large updates retain every icon.
• Fix: Existing Modals retain their historical white surface and dark default close icon when unset. Editor and frontend use the same explicit background token; authored colors take precedence.
• Fix: Multiple Dynamic Query blocks keep their controls scoped independently, and Timeline marker sizes apply on the published page.
• Fix: Countdown deadlines honor the selected or WordPress site timezone consistently for all visitors.
• Packaging: Include all seven runtime pattern images; exclude development tooling and duplicate marketing assets.
• Before updating: Check countdown deadlines/site timezone and Turnstile keys. Saving/importing blocks without the edit_css capability can remove their per-block custom CSS. Unset visual values can follow theme defaults.
• After updating: Purge page/CDN and Markdown caches. Open WordPress/admin, confirm export cleanup completed, and regenerate static Markdown/llms files if needed. Old cached Query pages need fresh references; keep page-cache lifetimes below 30 days and purge affected pages if Query source transients are cleared.

2.8.2 – 2026-09-23

• Fix: DesignSetGo blocks no longer show as unsupported in the editor after an update. If you had ever switched a block off under DesignSetGo → Blocks & Extensions, blocks added in later versions arrived switched off too, and pages already using one showed “Your site doesn’t include support for this block”. New blocks and extensions now arrive switched on. Anything that was already off stays off, so if a page still reports a DesignSetGo block as unsupported, turn it back on under DesignSetGo → Blocks & Extensions. Your content is safe either way.
• Fix: Switching an extension off under DesignSetGo → Blocks & Extensions now takes effect. Before, only Dynamic Tags respected its switch. A switched-off extension’s controls no longer appear in the editor, and switching off Draft Mode turns it off entirely. Content already using an extension keeps working exactly as it was saved. If you switched extensions off in the past, their controls will now disappear from the editor.
• Fix: Switching off a block or extension, or removing a post type from llms.txt, sometimes didn’t stick after saving. These settings now save exactly as you set them.

2.8.1 – 2026-09-21

• Fix: On a page with an overlay header, the header sits over the top of the hero again, instead of leaving a band of empty space above it. 2.8.0 started adding space above the first section on these pages, which pushed the hero image down and left a strip of plain page background showing under the header.
• Fix: A hero’s own top spacing now shows from the first moment the page appears. 2.8.0 described this fix, but it wasn’t taking effect.

2.8.0 – 2026-09-18

• Fix: Timeline items fade in as you scroll on the published page again. They were appearing all at once, already visible, because a stylesheet meant only for the editor was also being sent to visitors. The same problem put a dashed outline around Image Accordion and a grey border on Scrolling Gallery images. 33 blocks were sending their editor styling to visitors; none are now.
• Fix: A page with an overlay header no longer hides the top of the hero behind the header while the page loads. The hero’s top spacing is now right from the first moment it appears, instead of being corrected a split second later.
• Fix: Form Builder – when two published pages hold forms that share an ID, a submission is now matched to the form that was actually filled in. Forms end up sharing an ID when you insert the same pattern twice or duplicate a form block. Before this fix the notification email could go to the other form’s recipient, or a submission could be refused for a required field that wasn’t on the form the visitor saw.
• Fix: Form Builder – fields laid out in three or four columns fit on one row, and stack properly on phones instead of overflowing.
• New: Section – Content Position puts the width-constrained content column on the left, center or right of the section, instead of always centering it.
• New: Section – Box Width caps the width of the section’s own box, so a section used as a card or panel narrows its background, border, shadow and shape dividers along with it. Until now only the text inside could be narrowed.
• New: Grid – a Column Template setting gives uneven columns on desktop, such as a narrow sidebar beside a wide main column. Tablet and mobile keep their own column counts.
• Fix: Section – the faint horizontal line that could show across a shape divider’s inner edge at certain browser zoom levels is gone.
• Fix: Tabs – tab labels take their color from the text around them instead of a theme preset, so they stay readable on a dark or colored background.
• Improved: New overlays on Section, Row, Grid and Scroll Accordion items start lighter, and an overlay color that already includes transparency now sets its own strength instead of having more applied on top. Overlays already on your pages keep their current strength, even after you edit them.
• Fix: The contact form’s “Select an option” placeholder and other bundled text now appear translated on non-English sites. An older installed language pack could hide newer translations included with DesignSetGo.
• Fix: More blocks added by an AI assistant come out valid the first time you open them, so you no longer see “Attempt Recovery”. This covers images, lists, quotes, headings, captions, icon buttons, modals, cards, counters, form colors and grid ordering.
• New: AI and agent tooling – a designsetgo/add-blocks ability adds several top-level blocks in one step.

2.7.5 – 2026-09-10

• Fix: On some hosts, DesignSetGo couldn’t create the database table that powers Dynamic Query filters, and it tried again on every admin page. That slowed wp-admin down enough for WordPress updates to time out. The table now installs on those hosts, and if it ever can’t, DesignSetGo waits a day before trying again instead of retrying on every page.
• New: If DesignSetGo can’t create that table, administrators now see a notice explaining why, with a Retry now link. You can dismiss it. It stays on DesignSetGo’s own admin pages until the problem is fixed.
• Fix: Shape dividers, SVG patterns, expanding backgrounds and text reveal effects now work on blocks added by an AI assistant. The editor used to flag those blocks as invalid.

2.7.4 – 2026-09-10

• Fix: Dynamic Query — filters, sort, search, Load more and infinite scroll now work for visitors who aren’t logged in. On 2.7.3 the request behind them required a login, so for everyone else clicking did nothing.
• Fix: Dynamic Query — Load more keeps the active filters, search and sort. It used to fetch the next page of the unfiltered results and add it under the filtered ones.
• Fix: Dynamic Query — accordions, counters, flip cards, maps, modals and other interactive blocks inside results added by Load more or infinite scroll now start up. Only the first page’s items used to work.
• Fix: Dynamic Query — the request behind filters and Load more now only renders a query the site itself put on the page, instead of whatever query settings the browser sent. Grouping by a protected custom field (one whose name starts with an underscore) no longer prints that field’s values as headings, and a query on a password-protected page stays locked until the password is entered.
• Fix: Dynamic Query’s editor preview now requires permission to edit posts. Any logged-in account, a subscriber or a store customer included, could use it to list content that isn’t public.
• Fix: Dynamic Query — a user directory no longer lets visitors search or sort people by email address, matching WordPress’s own rules. People who can manage users still can.
• Fix: Dynamic Query filter counts update straight away when a post loses the last category, tag or field value a filter counts. The cached count used to keep including it.
• Fix: Form Builder enforces required fields on the server, so a submission that skips the browser’s own check is refused instead of being stored with the field empty. Submissions for a form that doesn’t exist on the site are refused, and fields that aren’t part of the form are ignored rather than stored. Forms on private pages and in previews no longer accept submissions.
• Improved: Form Builder — one visitor’s IP address can now send at most 20 submissions a minute across all forms on the site, on top of each form’s own limit. Adjust it with the designsetgo_form_global_rate_limit_count and designsetgo_form_global_rate_limit_window filters.
• Fix: Tabs — a Tabs block placed inside another one keeps its own panels. The outer block counted the inner block’s panels as its own and showed or hid them as you switched tabs.
• Fix: Scroll Accordion — an accordion removed from the page, for example when filters replace a Dynamic Query’s results, stops listening for scroll and resize. It kept measuring elements that were no longer there on every scroll.
• Fix: Map — an address containing quotation marks no longer sends the map to New York. The quotes reached the geocoder as stray u0022 text, so the lookup failed and the map fell back to its default location.
• Improved: Pages that don’t use Grid, Row, Icon or Pill no longer carry those blocks’ CSS inline in the page head.
• Fix: More blocks added by an AI assistant now come out valid. A Section that isn’t width-constrained no longer gets an inner max-width, Row and Grid keep their own padding and gap (including zero) instead of reverting to the defaults, Row honours vertical alignment including space-between, Grid honours a minimum column width and matched row heights, and Card keeps its border colour.
• New: AI and agent tooling — a designsetgo/get-design-context ability returns the theme’s resolved settings, global styles and block style variations, so an assistant can build with the site’s own palette, fonts and spacing instead of guessing. It is read-only.

2.7.3 – 2026-09-04

• Fix: Blocks added by an AI assistant now come out valid. When a block was built through the plugin’s Abilities API rather than typed into the editor, the markup it produced did not always match what the editor writes, so opening the page showed “Attempt Recovery” or silently rewrote content the author never touched. Every block is now checked against its own editor output, including at its plain defaults.
• Fix: Section, Row and Grid keep their hover and overlay colours when built this way — the five custom properties behind them were dropped entirely.
• Fix: Modal now uses the label you gave it for screen readers instead of always announcing “Modal”.
• Fix: Form Builder no longer writes email notification settings — recipient, subject, from and reply-to addresses — into the page’s public markup.
• Fix: Icon Button and Modal Trigger apply padding, colour, typography, border and shadow to the button itself rather than duplicating it on the wrapper.
• Fix: Counter Group honours its own column counts, Grid honours its HTML element setting, and Tabs keeps its colour settings.
• Fix: Alignment set on a block built this way is now carried into the markup, for blocks that align left/centre/right as well as those offering wide and full.

2.7.2 – 2026-08-26

• Fix: Advanced Heading — the typing effect no longer hides the last letter of each word. It also now types one character at a time, so short words no longer appear in twelve tiny slivers.
• Fix: Advanced Heading — the typing, clip, and blinds effects no longer shave the tops and tails off letters. Descenders on g, j, p, q, y and accented capitals were being cut.
• Fix: Text Path — turning on Motion now animates in the editor, not only on the published page. The frontend was always animating; the editor just never previewed it, which made the setting look broken.
• Fix: Advanced Heading — segments no longer run together in the editor. Plain segments were missing the spacing the published page gets, so the editor showed them squished while the frontend looked correct.

2.7.1 – 2026-08-26

• Fix: The Chart block works again. On 2.7.0, inserting a Chart showed “Error loading block” instead of the chart — the block’s preview is drawn on the server, and the request that draws it was being rejected. Charts already saved on a page were unaffected; only the editor preview failed.
• Fix: Chart y-axis labels stay inside the chart. Longer labels — anything past about seven characters, which includes any formatted currency — were painted outside the block’s own area, over whatever sat to the left of them. The space reserved for them is now measured from the labels themselves.
• New: Chart — value prefix, suffix, and thousands grouping. Put a $ in front of every value or a % after it, and turn on grouping to read 1,234,567 instead of 1234567. These apply to the value labels, the y-axis, and the data table screen readers use, so the axis matches the bars. Donut slices keep showing their share of the total.

2.7.0 – 2026-08-25

• New: Chart — bar, line, and donut charts drawn as plain SVG, with a colour control per bar or slice. Type the data in by hand or read it from a post meta field. No charting library is loaded, and every chart also emits a screen-reader data table so the numbers are readable without the picture.
• New: Star Rating — show a rating as stars, either a fixed value or pulled from post meta, ACF, or a product’s WooCommerce average rating. Ships with a Reviews pattern, and can feed its value into review structured data.
• New: Hotspot — place interactive markers over an image, each with its own tooltip. Fully keyboard accessible.
• New: Text Path — flow a line of text along a wave, arc, circle, oval, spiral, straight line, or an SVG path of your own, with controls for arc size, rotation, word spacing, and padding, plus an optional motion mode that travels the text along the path.
• New: Animated Headline — Advanced Heading gains two headline modes. Rotating cycles a list of phrases through one of nine effects (typing, clip, flip, swirl, blinds, drop-in, wave, slide, slide-down), forward or in reverse, with duration, delay, and loop controls. Highlighted draws a hand-drawn mark behind or through a phrase — circle, curly, underline, double underline, zigzag, diagonal, strikethrough, or an X.
• New: Interactions — a new extension on every block. Bind a trigger (click, hover, scroll into view, exit intent, keypress) to an action on any other block: toggle a class, set an attribute, scroll to it, open or close a modal, show or hide something, play or pause media, focus a form field, or copy to clipboard. Edited in a modal with a point-and-click target picker on the canvas.
• New: Schema.org markup — opt an Accordion into FAQ or How-to structured data, and a Star Rating into Review or Aggregate rating. Nothing is emitted unless you deliberately choose a type, and password-protected content is never exposed.
• New: Off-canvas panel — Modal gains a panel mode that slides in from any edge, available as its own block variation, with a size control. It keeps the modal’s focus trap, Escape handling, scroll lock, and triggers.
• New: Deeper animations — four additions to the Animations extension: stagger a container’s children, scroll-linked animation that tracks the scroll position rather than firing once, SVG path drawing, and per-word or per-character text reveal with fade and rise. All CSS-driven, no animation library, and every one is fully disabled under “reduce motion”.
• New: WooCommerce — Dynamic Query gains product controls (catalog visibility, featured, on sale, stock status) and reads the URL parameters WooCommerce’s own filter blocks emit, so Woo’s filter UI can drive a DesignSetGo loop. Six new binding sources expose raw product values — price, regular price, discount percent, stock quantity, average rating, and Woo’s formatted price — for text and for dynamic CSS, so a stock bar or a discount badge is just a bound value.
• New: Map — a keyless Google Maps option that needs no API key at all, and loads no JavaScript on the page. The existing keyed Google and OpenStreetMap options are unchanged, and privacy mode still holds the map back until the visitor clicks Load Map.
• New: Loop Carousel — Slider and Scroll Slides now work properly as Dynamic Query layouts. Load more and filters work inside a carousel; infinite scroll, which cannot work inside a fixed-height viewport, degrades to a Load more button, and the editor says so up front with a one-click switch instead of leaving readers stranded on page one.
• Fix: Slider — a batch of fixes that apply to any slider, not just query-driven ones: responsive slides-per-view was read and then ignored; a multi-slide slider scrolled past its own last slide; asking for more slides per view than there were slides broke the block; dragging snapped back to the first slide; a vertical scroll changed slides; autoplay stopped after one tick, and kept running in background tabs and under “reduce motion”; keyboard focus could land on an off-screen slide; a duration entered in milliseconds froze the slider; and every page containing a slider was excluded from the browser’s back/forward cache.
• Fix: One click on Load more no longer fetches and appends the next page twice — eight new posts could arrive as twelve items.
• Fix: A Loop Carousel placed inside another query’s template previewed the outer query’s posts in the editor while the frontend correctly showed the inner one’s.
• Improved: WordPress 7.1 support. 7.1 lets you set per-viewport (mobile/tablet) style values on any block; those values now land on the same element as the desktop value for Pill, Scroll Marquee, Icon, Icon Button, and Modal Trigger, instead of a mobile background smearing across the content column or a mobile margin doubling up. This also corrects where theme.json styles for those blocks apply. Tested up to WordPress 7.1.
• Improved: AI and agent tooling — the Abilities API discovery endpoints now describe the plugin accurately. Categories, block groupings, and the WooCommerce binding group were all reported wrongly, so filtering returned partial or empty results; all 20 abilities now also declare whether they read or write, and the documentation covers all of them.
• Fix: Advanced Heading and Hotspot editing is smoother on long pages, duplicating a Text Path no longer breaks the original’s shape, and hotspot tooltips sit on their markers instead of drifting away from them.
• Fix: Translations — removed a JavaScript translation catalog whose files were keyed so that WordPress could never load them, and regenerated the translation template.
