  1. Bold Page Builder 5.9.11Latest

    • Rank Math SEO: content analysis now reads the rendered page built with the builder instead of its raw shortcodes, so headings (including an H1 set on a Headline element), images, links and word count are detected. The analysis updates while you edit, without saving first, and Rank Math’s Recalculat…
    • Yoast SEO: the analysis now updates while you edit instead of only after saving, and the first analysis on page load waits for the rendered page rather than starting from raw shortcodes.
    • The Yoast SEO integration now loads only when Yoast SEO is active, and no longer overrides the builder’s own AJAX settings.
    • Clicking a duplicated slide in an infinitely looping slider with lightbox enabled now opens the lightbox at the right image; previously those slides did nothing.
    • New “Separator (Medium)” section template, a separator with no line; the existing template is now named “Separator (Solid)”.

  2. Bold Page Builder 5.9.10

    • Security: the Section element’s YouTube video settings are now read into a fixed list of known settings, checked against the type each one expects, and written to the page as data rather than as JavaScript, preventing a stored XSS where a crafted value closed the settings object and ran script for…
    • Security: the bundled YouTube background player no longer evaluates any of its settings as JavaScript.
    • The YouTube video settings field now only accepts the settings the background player actually has, so a misspelled or unsupported setting is ignored instead of being passed on. Values must be written in the form the player documents, for example startAt:20, mute:true, anchor:'center,center'.
    • Note for developers: the new bt_bb_yt_video_settings_schema filter adds a setting to that list, and bt_bb_yt_video_settings adjusts the finished set of settings for an element.

  3. Bold Page Builder 5.9.9

    • Security: the additional settings on both slider elements can no longer carry HTML in any encoding, preventing a stored XSS where an entity-encoded tag survived escaping, was decoded again when the browser read the slider configuration attribute, and was then built as markup by the slider (authenti…
    • The Additional settings field on the Slider and Content Slider elements no longer accepts HTML, so a slider configured with custom arrow markup falls back to the built-in arrows.
    • Note for developers: the new bt_bb_slick_additional_settings filter is the supported way to put markup back into a slider configuration. A callback that overrides it is responsible for escaping what it returns.

  4. Bold Page Builder 5.9.8

    • Security: element link URLs are now checked against an allow list of schemes after control characters are removed, so a scheme disguised with an embedded control character or entity can no longer run script when the link is clicked (authenticated, content-editing users) — reported by Minaruzzaman S…
    • Security: the Section element’s background video settings and the Image element’s content background colour are now escaped before they are written into the rendered markup, preventing a stored XSS via a crafted attribute value (authenticated, content-editing users) — reported by Revanth Hari Naray…
    • Security: the Content Slider element now escapes its additional settings before writing them into the slider configuration attribute, preventing a stored XSS via a crafted attribute value (authenticated, content-editing users) — reported by Luka Zimonjic (CVE-2025-5286).
    • Security: escaped the remaining unescaped element attributes found while reviewing the above — the number of slides in both slider elements, the Post Grid category filter, the Icon element’s text, and the grid pagination class.
    • The publish and expiry dates on elements now use the site’s timezone and the exact minute they are set to; previously they were evaluated in UTC and the minute was read incorrectly. Elements with no publish or expiry date set are unaffected.
    • Note for developers: javascript: URLs are no longer accepted in element link fields for any user. A site that needs an additional scheme can add one with the new bt_bb_allowed_url_schemes filter.

  5. Bold Page Builder 5.9.7

    • Security: the Raw Content element now sanitizes its output with wp_kses_post() unless the post author is allowed to publish unfiltered HTML, so a crafted element can no longer execute script for other users (authenticated, content-editing users).
    • Security: the builder’s save-time element gate now runs after WordPress’ own kses filter and matches the content in its stored form, closing a bypass that hid a restricted element behind markup kses removed afterwards.
    • Fixed the Custom Menu element discarding its responsive parameter overrides, so per-breakpoint values such as font size now apply instead of only the desktop value.

  6. Bold Page Builder 5.9.6

    • Security: the Post Grid and Image Grid elements now build their lazy-loaded images through DOM attributes instead of HTML string concatenation, preventing a stored XSS via a crafted attachment ALT text or title (authenticated, media-uploading users).
    • Security: the Service element now validates its title HTML tag against an allow list, preventing a stored XSS via a crafted tag name (authenticated, content-editing users).

  7. Bold Page Builder 5.9.5

    • Security: escaped the shortcode bb_version attribute before it is written into the rendered output, preventing a stored XSS via a crafted attribute value (authenticated, content-editing users).
    • Security: added a capability check and nonce verification to the builder link-search AJAX endpoint, so it can no longer be used to enumerate posts, pages, and media URLs/metadata by low-privileged or cross-site requests.

  8. Bold Page Builder 5.9.4

    • Fixed colored-icon SVGs being stripped in the front-end editor preview (added inline SVG to the editor re-render kses allowlist).

  9. Bold Page Builder 5.9.3

    • Redesigned the Row “Columns layout” control: row width and column structure are now selected separately, with the column structure shown as layout preview thumbnails.
    • Fixed horizontal page overflow on rows configured with large gaps.

  10. Bold Page Builder 5.9.2

    • Security: hardened the Raw Content save filter against a null-byte / control-character bypass that could allow Contributor-level users to store executable scripts (CVE-2026-5920).

  11. Bold Page Builder 5.9.1

    • Fixed CSS Post Grid not rendering the excerpt, share, date, and super/subheadline when those options were enabled.
    • Fixed category filtering on the CSS Post Grid and Masonry Post Grid for categories with encoded (non-ASCII) slugs.

  12. Bold Page Builder 5.9.0

    • Added 1300, 1500, and 1600 pixel boxed row widths to the Section and Row “Columns layout” / “Row width” dropdowns (alongside the existing 1200 and 1400 options).
    • Fixed an unwanted border that appeared around colored headlines on recent WordPress versions.
    • Fixed Latest Posts author meta rendering as literal HTML markup instead of a clickable author link.

  13. Bold Page Builder 5.8.2

    • Minor bug fixes and improvements.

  14. Bold Page Builder 5.8.1

    • Fixed JavaScript errors triggered by clicks on SVG elements from third-party plugins (cookie banners, social widgets, etc.).
    • Fixed unresponsive Front-end editor clicks on macOS / Safari — the edit drawer now opens reliably on the first click.
    • Publish until / Hide until scheduling now uses the site timezone with minute precision; leaving the field blank correctly means “no limit”.
    • Hardened AJAX input handling, output escaping, and external HTTP calls.
    • Replaced legacy database lookups and cURL calls with WordPress core APIs (wp_remote_*, get_page_by_path) for better compatibility and caching.
    • Improved security.

  15. Bold Page Builder 5.8.0

    • Hardened all plugin PHP files against direct file access.
    • Reduced scroll jitter on parallax background sections in Chrome.
    • Improved security.
    • Renamed text domain from bold-builder to bold-page-builder to match the WordPress.org plugin slug. Existing translations using the old text domain will need to be re-imported under the new domain.

  16. Bold Page Builder 5.7.3

    • Improved security.

  17. Bold Page Builder 5.7.2

    • Minor bug fixes.

  18. Bold Page Builder 5.7.1

    • Improved security.

  19. Bold Page Builder 5.7.0

    • Improved security.

  20. Bold Page Builder 5.6.9
