10.0.0 [12th October 2026]
Added
- Brand new user-friendly admin dashboard interface
- Elementor MCP & AI Abilities: Build Elementor Pages with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Angie
- AI Tools: abilities registered with the WordPress Abilities API (WP 6.9+)
- AI Tools: MCP server endpoint at
/wp-json/element-pack/mcp for Claude, Cursor, VS Code and ChatGPT - AI Tools: Angie integration
- AI Tools: admin screen with master switches, per-ability toggles and connection snippets
- 31 abilities for widgets, pages, integrations, design system and maintenance
- Accessibility improvements for all widgets
Removed
- 85 deprecated widgets moved to the new "Element Pack Addon" plugin, with the same names and toggles
- Vendor scripts used only by those widgets (darkmode, timeline, slinky, honeycombs)
- Leftover Easy Digital Downloads entry in third-party widgets
- Unused Image Parallax, WC Products table and Text Read More assets
Fixed
- Setup Wizard activate issue fixed
- Elementor editor console errors fixed
- Elementor editor: links in Modal, Coupon Code, SVG Maps and Mega Menu no longer navigate the preview away
- Fixed unescaped output some widgets
- Fixed PHP 8 fatal errors in Content Switcher, Business Hours, QR Code, Modal, Image Compare, Table of Content and SVG Blob
- SVG Image Draw SVG animation now plays in the editor
Security
- UIkit: HTML parsed from a component option or fetched for an inline SVG now drops iframe, frame, form, meta, link, object and embed elements, srcdoc and is attributes, and URL attributes whose scheme hides behind control characters (java	script:); only http(s), mailto, tel, relative and fragment URLs are kept, plus data:image on media elements (reported by nh4tvd)
- Content Guard: a bdt-* / data-bdt-* attribute written after a "/" with no whitespace is stripped too; markup is now walked with the WordPress HTML API, the same parser wp_kses_post() uses to normalise a tag (reported by nh4tvd)
Updated
- Improved: UIkit and helper CSS/JS load only on pages that use Element Pack, cutting frontend CSS by up to 40%
- Improved: Total Blocking Time up to 60% lower on pages without Element Pack widgets
- Improved: Largest Contentful Paint up to 20% faster on pages without Element Pack widgets
- Improved: Asset Optimization loads only the widgets a page uses in one combined CSS and JS file: up to 54% less CSS, pages up to 30% lighter, LCP up to 11% faster
- Clears Elementor's cached asset lists after an update or module change, so "Regenerate CSS & Data" is not needed
- Security improvements for all widgets
Added
- Normal / Hover tab system added to the badge style section in advanced icon box widget, with new hover color, background color, border color and box shadow controls
- Simple Contact Form: new "Receive IP Information" option to include or omit the sender IP address in the notification email
Fixed
- Simple Contact Form: the submitted widget ID is now sanitized before it is used to look up widget settings on the public form endpoint
- Lightbox and Tooltip global styles now live in Site Settings instead of being registered on every page's settings, which is what caused it
- Step Flow widget: the direction arrow was missing in the Elementor editor. The editor draws the widget from its own client-side template, and that template never output the arrow markup, so it only ever appeared on the frontend
- Step Flow widget: the direction arrow and the title separator SVGs are now initialised explicitly each time the widget renders instead of relying on UIkit's boot observer, so they swap in reliably when the widget is inserted or re-rendered in the editor
- Elementor > Tools no longer exhausts the PHP memory limit on sites with a large page template library
Fixed
- Widget CSS was enqueued after on Theme Builder pages because Elementor only enables widget assets for the queried post, never for the template — Mega Menu's mobile/desktop header switch was the most visible case
- Header and footer Theme Builder templates were rendered twice per request, and the discarded first render swallowed once-per-request widget output such as Mega Menu's responsive breakpoint styles
Added
- WooCommerce integration with AJAX add-to-cart added in Price Table widget (footer button turns into a View Cart button after add, matching the EDD flow)
Fixed
- Visibility Controls "Country" condition not working issue fixed
- Calendly widget time control issue fixed
- Text Gradient Background extension ignoring custom gradient colors on headings issue fixed
- Post widgets (Post Grid, Post Block, Post List, etc.) query source and manual selection no longer list internal template post types — Theme Builder templates (
bdt-template-builder), Mega Menu content, and Floating Elements are now excluded so only real content post types can be queried
Updated
- SEO issue fixed in Wrapper Link extension
- Price Table EDD and WooCommerce product selectors now use AJAX search instead of a limited preloaded list
- Security improved
- Breakpoint improved as Elementor in Mega Menu widget
