202638 releases

  1. Prime Slider 5.1.2Latest

    • Fixed: Slider images of the next slides now preload, so a slide no longer shows blank while its image loads

  2. Prime Slider 5.1.0

    • Fixed: Dashboard Widgets and Extensions tabs shared unsaved changes; each tab now keeps its own

  3. Prime Slider 5.0.0

    • Added: New admin dashboard
    • Added: Up To 86% Off menu in the free version, linking to the BdThemes deals page
    • Added: BdThemes deals notice on the Dashboard, Plugins screen and plugin dashboard; “Don’t Show Again” hides it in every BdThemes plugin
    • Improved: Accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA) of the dashboard, setup wizard and slider controls: contrast, keyboard access and labels
    • Improved: Asset Optimization now refreshes Elementor’s cached asset lists after an update or a widget change, as in Element Pack

    • Improved: UIkit and helper CSS/JS load only on pages that use a Prime Slider widget
    • Improved: Pages without Prime Slider widgets load no Prime Slider assets, lowering Total Blocking Time and speeding up Largest Contentful Paint

  8. Prime Slider 4.6.2

    • Fixed: Blog widget’s Coral skin broke the layout of the rest of the page when the query returned no posts
    • Fixed: Clicking the next-slide thumbnail in the blog widget’s Coral skin did nothing
    • Fixed: Blog widget’s Zinest skin showed ten items in its featured strip, including pages and products, instead of three posts. Selected featured posts now also keep the order they were picked in
    • Fixed: Blog widget showed no categories when the query source was Manual Selection, Current Query or Related
    • Fixed: Blog widget’s Background Image Settings had no effect while the Kenburns Animation was turned on
    • Fixed: Blog widget’s Default skin showed an empty image for posts without a featured image
    • Fixed: Dynamic tags in Social Link items were ignored by the blog widget’s Default, Coral and Zinest skins
    • Fixed: The Scroll Down button did nothing when the Section ID was entered with a leading “#”
    • Fixed: Clearing the Autoplay Interval made the slider change slides non-stop
    • Fixed: A Text Limit that cut through a shortcode left part of the shortcode in the post text
    • Fixed: A widget’s Query ID filter also ran for every other query on the page instead of only the widget’s own query
    • Fixed: The Current Post option under Exclude By did not work when Ignore Sticky Posts was turned off
    • Fixed: Titles containing characters such as “&” or quotes were shown as HTML entities in the query search fields
    • Fixed: Saving a page with the blog widget logged PHP warnings when WPML was active
    • Fixed: The blog widget’s Size Ratio control had no visible label, and the Separator Color label was misspelled
    • Fixed: The query search fields showed Contributors the titles of other authors’ drafts, and let users without the List Users capability search people by e-mail address or list users who have never published anything
    • Changed: Blog widget no longer shows different posts on the second and later pages of a paginated archive
    • Changed: Blog widget shows a notice in the editor when its query finds no posts, and nothing on the live site
    • Improved: Blog widget’s Coral skin runs its post query once per render instead of four times
    • Improved: The blend type, Section ID and Text Limit settings only accept valid values

  9. Prime Slider 4.6.1

    • Updated: System improved

  10. Prime Slider 4.6.0

    • Fixed: The System Status charts on the dashboard never appeared, and the browser console reported “Cannot use import statement outside a module” and “Chart is not defined”. The bundled Chart.js was the module build, which cannot run as an ordinary script
    • Fixed: Every template on the setup wizard’s last step failed with “Invalid Import URL”. The template files were missing from the plugin, and the release build excluded them as well
    • Fixed: The Activate button on the dashboard’s Other Plugins tab led to “The link you followed has expired”. The link’s separators were HTML-encoded inside a script, so WordPress never received the plugin name or the security token
    • Added: The Other Plugins tab and the setup wizard’s integration step now show each plugin’s own logo instead of a generic placeholder icon
    • Changed: The Other Plugins tab lays its cards out in three columns and uses the same card design as the setup wizard’s integration step
    • Changed: Removed the plugin description from the Other Plugins cards
    • Improved: The client IP helper no longer trusts forwarding headers supplied by the caller. Sites behind a reverse proxy or CDN can opt back in with the new prime_slider_trusted_proxies filter
    • Changed: Removed the unused uglify build dependency, clearing every critical advisory reported against the development toolchain

  11. Prime Slider 4.5.4

    • Fixed: Pagepiling widget did not work on the front end (“pagepiling is not a function” in the console)
    • Fixed: Multiscroll widget did not work on the front end
    • Improved: Both widgets now log a warning instead of throwing an error when their library is missing

  12. Prime Slider 4.5.3

    • Updated: System improved

  13. Prime Slider 4.5.2

    • Improved: Every slider control in this plugin is now fully usable. 116 controls across the free widgets (Show Excerpt, Content Max Width, Offset, Overlay, Swiper Effect, Query ID and others) were previously greyed out with a “PRO” badge and are now available to everyone
    • Changed: Advanced Animation and Reveal Effects moved to Prime Slider Pro, which supplies the GSAP, SplitText, anime.js and RevealFx engines they need. Prime Slider Pro 4.5.2 or later adds them back to these widgets
    • Changed: The Shutters, GL, Slicer and Tinder swiper effects moved to Prime Slider Pro along with the third-party libraries that power them
    • Updated: bdtUIkit 3.21.7 to 3.25.21 and Chart.js 3.9.1 to 4.5.1
    • Fixed: Corrected the Terms of Use link in the readme, which pointed at a page that no longer exists
    • Fixed: Admin notice dismissals are stored under this plugin’s own transient and user-meta prefix instead of a key taken straight from the request
    • Fixed: The setup wizard no longer loads WordPress upgrader files on front-end requests, and only imports the templates bundled with this plugin
    • Improved: Every global function, class, hook, AJAX action, nonce, option, transient and script/style handle this plugin registers now carries the plugin’s own prefix. The five public helper functions kept deprecated aliases so existing integrations keep working
    • Fixed: The Terms and Authors fields in a widget’s Query section were empty and unusable. The editor registered the search control under a different name than the one the server declared, so no options ever loaded
    • Fixed: A loop variable on the setup wizard’s integration screen shadowed a WordPress global
    • Fixed: Removed unused licence key and e-mail accessors and the Pro renewal redirect from the free plugin; the free plugin no longer reads any licence data
    • Improved: Replaced a direct filesystem write during template import with Elementor’s own uploads manager, and switched a raw json_encode() to wp_json_encode()
    • Fixed: Author name in the blog widget’s folio skin was plain text instead of a link to the author archive
    • Fixed: Flogia widget’s Show Title control also hid the post text when it was turned off
    • Fixed: Isolate widget’s Slice skin sub title was shown or hidden by the Show Title control instead of its own Show Sub Title control
    • Fixed: Isolate widget’s Sub Title HTML Tag control had no effect in the Slice skin, and changing it in the Locate skin broke the sub title’s styling
    • Fixed: Isolate widget’s Wrapper, Navigation and Scroll Down style controls could appear or stay hidden regardless of their related switcher due to a duplicated condition
    • Fixed: Rubix icon hover border color control linked to a non-existent border control
    • Fixed: Sniper fraction pagination heading and typography controls linked to show title instead of show pagination
    • Fixed: Woocircle open/close button hover border color controls linked to incorrect border conditions
    • Fixed: WooCommerce category hover border color control always visible regardless of category border setting
    • Improved: Flogia widget’s slider style controls are now split into separate Title, Text, Category and Author sections instead of a single tabbed group

  14. Prime Slider 4.5.0

    • Compliance: Corrected “Requires at least” / “Tested up to” to major WordPress versions and matched the text domain to the plugin slug
    • Compliance: Documented external services and the source/build process in the readme
    • Compliance: Removed the White Label, Version Rollback and Custom CSS/JS features from the free plugin
    • Compliance: Removed the translation auto-update filter
    • Security: Hardened settings save, nonce and request-input handling; confined the feedback option writes to the plugin’s own namespace
    • Improved: Dashboard now exposes a neutral extension point so add-ons can register their own tabs

  15. Prime Slider 4.4.8

    • Fixed: Slider accessibility tree now uses the standard carousel pattern resolving PageSpeed/Lighthouse accessibility.
    • Added: Accessible names for slider navigation arrows and pagination dots
