Bricks Builder – The Most Innovative Visual Site Builder

Bricks Builder is a relatively new WordPress offering that has slowly been gaining popularity due to its unique features and ease of use. It was created with the goal of simplifying the process of creating beautiful pages without having to write a single line of code, and therefore helps you to create fast-loading websites that are both efficient and easy to style well.

Bricks Builder includes all of the standard features you would expect from a WordPress page builder, such as drag-and-drop layout editing, custom CSS styling, and support for shortcodes. But it also includes some unique features that set it apart from the competition.

CSS Variables Manager

After introducing the global class manager in Bricks Builder 1.9.5, we now extend the global style management capabilities of Bricks to CSS variables with the introduction of the new global variables manager

Code Element: Support Dynamic Data

The Code element now supports parsing dynamic data. To remain backward-compatible and avoid breaking any existing code with the new parse, you have to explicitly enable the new “Parse dynamic data” setting, as shown in the screenshot.

You’ll also notice another new setting named “Suppress PHP errors”. Enable it if you don’t want any potential PHP errors inside your Code element to be visible on the front end of your live site.

Duplicate Pages/Templates

Do you have an existing page, built with Bricks Builder or Gutenberg, that you want to duplicate, including all its post meta, terms, etc.?

You can now do this with Bricks Builder, either in the WordPress dashboard by hovering over the page title and clicking the “Duplicate” link or inside the builder under the “Pages” panel.

Please use this new built-in duplicator instead of third-party solutions to ensure that unique element IDs are properly generated for your duplicated pages, templates, etc.

The duplicated page/template will be saved as a draft.

Style Tab & Breakpoint Setting Indicators

The trusty setting “dot” indicator was only available next to individual settings. You can now quickly spot if the element or global class you are editing contains settings on any breakpoint. And if any styles are set under the “Style” tab.

Cache remote templates

Previously, remote templates were requested every time you opened the template manager in the builder, which was a bit excessive. So now, all remote templates are cached locally on your machine for seven days via IndexedDB.

More flexible echo function name checks

If you are using a lot of DD echo tags on your Bricks site, you can now take advantage of a more flexible way to whitelist and check the function names you want to call through the echo tag via regex patterns or 100% custom checks.

New custom JavaScript events

We prepared the following three new custom JavaScript events for you:

• bricks/tabs/changed
• bricks/accordion/open
• bricks/accordion/close
