20267 releases

  1. Qi Blocks 1.5.4Latest

    • Fixed saved block styles (widgets, templates, posts) not printing on the front

  2. Qi Blocks 1.5.3

    • Improved grid editor styles
    • Fixed canvas clicks on nested Qi text blocks (Advanced Text, Section Title) selecting the parent Advanced Column, then fighting the column on further clicks
    • Fixed Single Image, Image Gallery, and similar Qi blocks not selectable on the Appearance → Widgets screen (and Customize Widgets), where the editor has no canvas iframe and selection was never bound
    • Fixed Widgets clicks on Qi blocks selecting the whole widget area (core/widget-area) instead of the nested Qi block

  3. Qi Blocks 1.5.2

    • Fixed nested core blocks (Paragraph, Heading, Image, and other non-Qi blocks) inside Advanced Columns not selectable in the WordPress 7.0 editor canvas, patterns, and synced pattern edit mode
    • Fixed editor canvas click handler selecting the parent Advanced Column when clicking nested core block content
    • Fixed Qi blocks (Image Slider, Image Gallery, Timeline, and others) not selectable inside third-party layout blocks (Stackable columns, Blocksy content blocks, and similar) when editing patterns in the WordPress 7.0 editor canvas
    • Fixed Advanced Column not selectable in the editor canvas when it contains Qi content blocks (e.g. Section Title, Single Image); layout blocks now stay with Gutenberg while only content blocks use the uniqueClass selection helper
    • Fixed Advanced Column / Columns selection being stolen by nested RichText fields (Section Title, Advanced Text, etc.) after selecting the column from List View in the WordPress 7.0 editor canvas
    • Improved Advanced Column editor to use useInnerBlocksProps() for correct inner block markup and selection in the canvas iframe
    • Improved Qi-only editor canvas click handling so the selection helper runs only on Qi content block markup and ignores core/* blocks via data-type
    • Improved editor canvas click handling to resolve Qi block selection via uniqueClass even when the nearest data-type ancestor belongs to another plugin’s container block
    • Improved uniqueClass to clientId resolution to prefer the innermost Qi content block before any ancestor data-block (e.g. Image Slider inside Advanced Column)

  4. Qi Blocks 1.5.1

    • Improved WordPress 6.3+/7.0 editor canvas iframe compatibility (blob editor-canvas iframe)
    • Improved editor canvas asset loading via lightweight editor-canvas.js bundle and localized qiBlocksEditor.vars inside the iframe
    • Improved qiBlocksEditor runtime helpers available in the editor canvas (qodefGetCurrentBlockElement, qodefSetEditorLinkBehavior)
    • Improved block selection for static blocks (Image Slider, Image Gallery, Masonry/Pinterest Gallery, Timeline Showcase, and others) by resolving clientId from uniqueClass when data-block is not present on the canvas markup
    • Improved editor context detection (isQiEditorContext) for iframe bodies (block-editor-iframe__body) instead of relying on wp-admin alone
    • Improved deferred editor block-selection binding (DOM ready, iframe load, and canvas mutations) so listeners attach after React portals block content
    • Improved Swiper behavior in the editor (disabled autoplay, touch/drag, and click prevention so blocks remain selectable)
    • Improved editor styles for image, gallery, and slider blocks inside .block-editor-iframe__body (pointer-events and swiper navigation)
    • Improved iframe discovery in editor helpers for WordPress 7.0 layout (.editor-visual-editor, direct iframe[name="editor-canvas"] lookup)
    • Fixed blocks without useBlockProps() not opening the block sidebar on first click in the editor canvas
    • Fixed editor-canvas.js block-selection init running in <head> before body exists, which prevented click handlers from binding
    • Fixed Masonry gallery re-init when uniqueClass was passed without an event argument
    • Fixed Parallax Images, Product List, and Table of Contents editor scripts using wp-admin body class checks that fail inside the editor canvas iframe
    • Fixed Follow Info hover script running in the editor on gallery blocks
    • Skipped lightbox popup initialization in the editor to prevent click interception on image blocks

  5. Qi Blocks 1.5

    • Improved all blocks to Block API v3
    • Improved block save/edit output to include correct wp-block-qi-blocks-* wrapper classes
    • Improved SVG sanitizer library PHP 8.4 compatibility
    • Fixed Block validation errors after apiVersion 3 migration (counter, button, column, columns, and others)
    • Fixed Site Editor getAttribute error when interacting with column/columns layouts
    • Fixed Full Site Editor stability improvements in global editor helpers (null-safe iframe/parent access)
    • Fixed unauthorized global styles save/read
    • Fixed a performance issue where Qi Blocks could cause heavy wp_options write churn on frontend requests due to a broken block template HTML transient cache
    • Reduced frontend overhead by registering 3rd-party block asset hooks once instead of per block instance
    • Skipped block template HTML resolution on non-block themes to avoid unnecessary work on classic/Elementor setups
    • Removed legacy manual iframe stylesheet injection from the block editor script
    • Improved frontend performance by loading main/grid/animate assets only when Qi Blocks are present on the page
    • Improved global styles frontend handler to skip processing when no styles are configured
    • Improved 3rd-party block script detection with per-request caching instead of repeated has_block() / option lookups
    • Improved block template HTML caching for empty results to reduce repeated template resolution
    • Moved Animate.css registration to init and limited enqueue to editor/frontend pages that actually use Qi Blocks
    • Registered should_load_separate_core_block_assets once instead of per block instance
    • Minor fixed
