Slider Revolution 7
-
7.1.2

- Reorganized the Hover Style panel into a unified Interaction panel with Cursor Motion and Style & Transform
-
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

Changes
- Added new custom JavaScript examples to the Custom Scripts section of the Editor

-
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 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

- 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
