Slider Revolution 7
-
7.1.4
New Features
- Ctrl + Space keyboard shortcut: preview the current slide in a new tab (same as the Slides list preview button)
- Favorite modules from the dashboard and Select Module modal — starred modules are saved across reloads, shown at the top of the list by default, and can be filtered via Filter → Favorites
- Module Position: choose Sticky None, Top (menu overlay), or Bottom (info / add-to-cart style bar) — overflow at the sticky edge can be set to Visible or Hidden; optional Reserve Space keeps page content from sitting under the sticky module
- Drag and drop image, video (MP4), and — when DepthForge is installed — GLB 3D model files from the desktop onto the editor stage to upload them to the WordPress Media Library and add the matching layer type
- Layer 3D rotation gizmo: toolbar toggle enters rotation mode on the selected layer and adds Reset / X / Y / Z controls — drag an axis ring on stage or drag up/down on the toolbar labels to rotate; drag inside the layer for free rotation; toggle again to exit (writes to Extra Style transforms)
- Add-Ons library filter: Enabled in Module shows only add-ons turned on for the current module (editor only); filter options trimmed to All States, Enabled in Module, Global Addons, and Need Attention
- Right-click context menu on the layers list — same layer actions as the stage context menu (edit, copy, paste, duplicate, delete, show/hide, lock/unlock)
- Page Effects recorder: Preview Live opens the current (unsaved) effect in a new tab without writing to post meta
- Chalk Line: draw each segment over or behind the rest of the page content, show or hide the tracking (ghost) path while live editing, and stroke widths up to 500px
- DepthForge: Shift-click to multi-select 3D objects and move, rotate or scale them together around a shared centre — Duplicate and “Put in Center” apply to the whole selection
- DepthForge: texture “Auto Fit to Area” toggle — on by default for artwork authored to the print area, off to reveal manual Transform / Repeat / Offset / Rotation placement
- WooCommerce: dedicated Add to Cart layer action (AJAX, optional quantity) when WooCommerce is active — uses the current stream product
- Simple Link actions: Meta picker for URL-safe dynamic tags (e.g. {{link}}, {{wc_add_to_cart}}, {{home_url}})
- Quick Edit: text layers show a compact font summary under the textarea (family · weight · size · device) as a reference for Bulk Style Editor
Bugfixes
- Custom CSS/JS edits in the module scripts editor now correctly mark the module as unsaved
- Fixed CodeMirror cursor and selection misalignment when re-opening Custom CSS/JS and other code editors after the panel was hidden
- Context menu paste label now shows the correct property name (e.g. “Paste Parallax” instead of “Paste Layers”) when copying partial layer properties
- Fixed properties sidebar inputs not being focusable again after tabbing to the layers list search field
- Fixed Gutenberg block dropdown menus misaligned in the Site Editor (zoomed / iframed canvas)
- Made Gutenberg block flyout menus environment-proof (fixed portal + inline styles, no WP Popover dependency)
- Hardened Gutenberg block chrome with inline layout styles so missing editor CSS cannot collapse header buttons or stretch menus
- Removed overlapping parent-folder subtitles from the Move to Folder dropdown
- Fixed slide Publish/Unpublish button layout breaking after toggle in the module list
- Removed leftover Optimize action from slide menus in the overview (was dropped from modules in Oct 2025 but left on slides)
- Fixed a white block editor screen with Jetpack active — the defer-exclusion filter no longer scans or rewrites inline scripts (e.g. the editor settings JSON), only real script file URLs
- Fixed WooCommerce Add to Cart from product modules — empty {{wc_add_to_cart_button}} in stream data, missing AJAX classes, and same-page ?add-to-cart= links being treated as in-page scroll
- Quick Edit: Meta/Icon inserts into text layers now save correctly (programmatic inserts fire the input event so the save queue gets the updated text)
- Quick Edit: replacing a selected Meta token via the Meta picker now persists; text fields keep literal <br> (Enter inserts <br/>), matching the full editor
- Quick Edit: Cmd/Ctrl+S blurs the active field and runs Quick Edit save (no longer triggers the full editor save)
- Quick Edit: bulk font family/weight changes now persist settings.fonts so the frontend loads the new Google/custom fonts
- Frontend: {{home_url}} and {{current_page_link}} basic metas now resolve on the published page — in layer text, inline links, and action URLs (previously only worked in the editor preview)
- Full Height Offset (Decrease Module Height): remeasure and update module height when offset containers (e.g. theme headers) change size after line-wrap or font load, not only on window resize
- Addons library: after Check for Updates, addon preview videos/banners load again without requiring a full page reload
- Add-On install now reports the real reason it failed — a download, permission, extraction or license error is shown instead of a generic “Addon could not be activated”, and a failed download no longer tries to activate the add-on
- Timeline (experimental): Shift+click multi-select layers; drag a frame to move matching frames on all selected layers together (stops at colliding frames)
- DepthForge: 3D object rotation and scale edited on one device no longer leak to all other devices — they are stored per device like position and the camera, and existing modules repair themselves on the next capture
- DepthForge: the 3D world re-renders when switching device or resizing the stage, instead of only after toggling Animation/Editing mode
- DepthForge: fixed the editor view jumping away from the saved framing on the first orbit
- DepthForge: fixed the 3D World group background painting over the Slide Background and any 2D layer placed behind the world
- Featured Slider: fixed a meta box crash in the Site Editor (undefined post meta on templates)
- Filmstrip: full width Filmstrip no longer leaves a gap on the right — the live strip now expands across the theme’s alignfull break-out margins instead of staying pinned to the content width
Changes
- Page Effects device switcher restyled like Quick Edit — icon buttons centred in the recorder top bar
- WooCommerce {{wc_add_to_cart_button}} now always builds proper loop-style markup with ajax_add_to_cart and enqueues WooCommerce cart scripts
- DepthForge: “Put in Center” now moves a 3D object to the centre of the camera’s view and keeps its rotation and scale, instead of resetting it to the scene origin
-
7.1.3
New Features
- Drop-in product branding for GLB objects — the printable label area is detected automatically (by material name) and your artwork fits the print area correctly, with per-material recolor slots for the rest of the object
- 14 new one-click PBR material presets — grass, soil, marble, concrete, fabrics, ice, brushed metal and more — with the full surface look (roughness, displacement, glass/ice settings) baked in
- Studio-grade renders: the built-in studio environment is now true HDR — chrome and metals pick up hot softbox highlights like a real product shoot
- Crystal-clear glass: transparent materials now refract the studio around them, and new Ice controls (volume tint, dispersion) create deep frosted-glass looks
- New “Unlit Glow” material engine — colors glow exactly as picked, no white clipping with Bloom
- Soft real-time floor reflections that stay sharp at the contact point, plus auto-fitted crisp shadows and a punchy “Dramatic” lighting look
- Reorganized, simplified panels: everything light-related now lives in one “Light & Mood” section — from empty scene to premium look in fewer clicks
- Add a module to the Slider Revolution block without leaving the page — import a template as a new per-page module, or pick an existing module, straight from quick dropdowns on the block
- New “Quick Edit” option on the block — swap text, images, videos and slide backgrounds directly in place without opening the full editor, with a slide and layer list to reach every editable element
Bugfixes
- DepthForge: fixed 3D object displacement not showing on the published front-end
- DepthForge: fixed see-through gaps along the edges of displaced Box / Rounded Box objects
- Fixed fullwidth carousel modules being clipped to their container width
- Removed duplicated Space Above / Space Below inputs in the Carousel Settings panel
- Fixed a front-end WebGL crash (“fsQuad.render is not a function”) when a Bloom scene builds before three.js finished loading
- Fixed issues related to WooCommerce metadata retrieval
- Fixed product price filtering in WooCommerce stream-based modules
- Fixed icon alignment for the Slider Revolution module in Avada Builder
- Fixed Lottie animations occasionally failing to load when the same Lottie library was requested by more than one layer or add-on at once — every request waiting on the shared script now registers as ready, not just the first
Changes
- WebGL framework: Bloom pass now supports tone mapping and exposure (Look / Contrast control for DepthForge scenes with Bloom enabled)
- DepthForge world and object animations can now be driven by a module’s Scroll Based Timeline
- DepthForge: layers placed behind the 3D world are now clickable — clicks and taps pass through the world except when over an interactive 3D object
- DepthForge: GLB objects can now load and save material presets per mesh
-
7.1.2
Bugfixes
- Fixed action panel display errors caused by invalid saved action types
- Restricted deletion of zone row layers
- Compressed migration AJAX responses to prevent response size limit issues
- Fixed issues when copying, pasting, or duplicating layers with an ID attribute set
- Restored a deprecated function to ensure compatibility with the Jupiter theme and WPBakery Builder
- Readded Missing Timing and Flow panel if SlideBg selected in the animation sidebar
Changes
- Improved stability and loading times on frontend and backend
- Page Effects: block inserter icons, hover previews and editor buttons harmonized with the Slider Revolution block
- Reorganized the Hover Style panel into a unified Interaction panel with Cursor Motion and Style & Transform
-
7.1.1
New Features
- Static Slides: optionally show a chosen regular slide’s layers as a dimmed reference behind the static slide while editing, to help align global layers (Static Slide Settings)
Bugfixes
- Fixed an issue causing unnecessary module reloading on WPBakery-built pages
- Fixed initial module rendering in the WPBakery Live Builder
- Prevented the user-select: none style from affecting headings outside the plugin
- Fixed layer list item alignment in name editing mode

Changes
- Added new custom JavaScript examples to the Custom Scripts section of the Editor
- Admin and editor stylesheets are now minified in the release build for faster editor loading
-
7.1.0
New Features
- Smart Spacing Guides: equal-spacing detection while dragging layers – gap rulers with pixel labels show when a layer has the same distance to its neighbours or repeats a sibling gap, with optional snapping (configurable in Global Settings)
- Arrange toolbar for multi-selections: align left / center / right / top / middle / bottom, distribute horizontally or vertically with equal gaps, and one-click Row, Column and Grid layouts
- Stage Zoom: zoom the editor stage in and out for precise editing, with a zoom hint that can be re-shown on demand
- Timeline Zoom for fine-grained keyframe editing on long animations
- Keyboard Shortcuts list: a quick reference of all editor shortcuts
- Custom Shape Builder: create parametric, generative shape layers (blobs, waves and more) directly in the editor, including a reusable Custom Shape symbol
- Layer Interactions: new cursor-driven effects for any layer – Magnetic, Attract, Repel, Squeeze and Tilt – that compose with existing animations
- RTL Support for the backend: the editor, dashboard, popups and panels now mirror correctly on RTL WordPress installs, plus a Use Editor in LTR Mode global setting to keep the default layout while the admin stays RTL
- Move to Folder: organise modules from the dashboard via a new Move to Folder function
- Grouped Add-Ons: Slider Revolution add-ons are now grouped behind a single Slider Revolution Add-ons view in the WP plugins list instead of cluttering it – add-ons with pending updates stay visible, and the behavior can be disabled in Global Settings → System
- Added the ability to import multiple slides at once from other modules
- Liquid Glass: a frosted backdrop-blur glass effect for layers, with blur and intensity controls (Extra Style)
- Progressive Blur: gradient (iOS-style) blur that ramps along a direction – as a backdrop overlay or on image content, with direction, max blur, fade and tint controls (Extra Style)
- Custom Font Upload: upload your own font files (WOFF2, WOFF, TTF, OTF) in Global Settings – Fonts, with automatic weight and style detection and generated font-face CSS, so no manual hosting is needed
- Image Editor: edit layer and background images right in the editor – crop, rotate, flip, light – colour adjustments, curves, blur and filters, plus saveable presets – the result is stored in the Media Library as a new image and applied to the layer
Bugfixes
- Improved layer toolbar click reliability: icons no longer swallow clicks, the toolbar stays in place during consecutive actions, and toolbar presses can no longer trigger an unintended layer drag
- Fixed shape presets, compiler handling and preloading for shape layers
- RTL: fixed dashboard toolbar spacing and notification badge, the layer list panel, and dropdown arrows overlapping their labels
- Fixed the Check for Add-On Updates feature when used from the Editor
- Show “No Title” for page selection options that do not have a title
- Fixed a JavaScript error in the calendar control when used on the Overview page
- Fixed carousel videos failing to autoplay on mobile (muted before autoplay)
- Fixed modals reopening on the wrong slide when the trigger’s target slide is not part of the modal
- Fixed full-height layers rendering at zero height on slow editor loads (e.g. WebGL effect layers staying blank until a slide swap)
- Fixed a 500 error when editing pages in Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, Avada, WPBakery and BeBuilder caused by an asset-timestamp call
- Fixed the editor occasionally getting stuck on Loading Editor Resources on slow connections
- Fixed slides occasionally getting stuck while preparing (no drawing or animations) on slow loads with WebGL effects
- Fixed rapid navigation clicks being dropped when triggered in quick succession
- Fixed add-ons and effects not re-initializing after Ajax / PJAX page navigation
- Accessibility: interactive link and button layers are no longer left hidden from screen readers
- Fixed the dashboard module list loading duplicate entries (and a possible divide-by-zero) on large libraries
- Added SVG sanitization for media uploaded through Slider Revolution
- Module registration errors no longer silently stop the remaining modules on a page from loading
- Fixed a module rendering error caused by Scroll-Based Timeline being enabled for autoplay and multi-slide modules
- Fixed the incorrect navigation style displayed in the Editor when navigation is enabled for the first time
- Fixed Cross Site Scripting vulnerability due to unprotected message content
- Fixed the editor freezing when selecting or adding a layer with the Layers list open
- Fixed Google Fonts not loading (stylesheet MIME type error) when font caching/download was enabled
- Unified the add-on framework so add-ons share one registration, update and resource system; fixed add-on stylesheets not loading on the front end or being left out of HTML exports, and prevented some add-ons from loading their assets twice
Changes
- Dashboard folder listing can now be sorted by Most Recent and by Date
- Extended preset support for add-ons and made the Position and Size panel aware of add-on driven changes
- Eliminated unnecessary re-authentication requests in the Select Module modal for builder integrations
- New Force Swipe over Effects navigation option (Touch settings, off by default): when enabled a horizontal swipe over a WebGL/effect layer changes slides instead of being captured by the effect
- Module imports now include add-on media – add-on file types such as Lottie (.json) and DepthForge (.glb) are allowed
- Reworked the add-on framework for better stability and performance when running several add-ons or WebGL effects together: a shared WebGL rendering budget prevents browser context limits, with unified add-on registration and settings handling
- Updated the bundled 3D / WebGL engine to Three.js r184
- Added an Edit Image pen to the layer toolbar for image layers and image shapes, opening the Image Editor directly
-
7.0.16

Bugfixes
- Fixed horizontal layer alignment and offsets in full width modules using a vertical CarouselX 3D Showcase
- Changed duplicated layers to be inserted above the original instead of at the end of the list

- Fixed overlapping text and slide icons for unpublished slides in the editor sidebar
- Removed global slides from the import slides selection list
- Slide list and dashboard thumbnails now follow the slide background automatically, while keeping manually chosen thumbnails
- Disabled Scroll-Based timeline for autoplay and multi-slide modules to avoid unexpected behavior
