New:
- Full support for WordPress 5.0+ new Block Editor (Gutenberg) – set as default “Page Builder” integration (for Toolbar); also supported are popular plugins like “Classic Editor” and “Disable Gutenberg”
- Lots of additional resource links for Block Editor (Gutenberg) added (can be disabled like other resources)
- Support for dozens of Block Editor specific Gutenberg Add-On plugins and themes now built-in – see appropriate changelog sections below — the add-on support can be disabled via plugin’s settings
- You can now set a default Page Builder (in General settings tab) – perfect if you are using the new Block Editor (Gutenberg) for posts but Elementor Page Builder for everything else – this is also in preparation for upcoming Add-Ons for other Page Builders
- Add new items to the WP Comments Group – as well as the popular newcomer “Thrive Comments” plugin – additional items can be disabled via plugin’s settings
- Add plugin support for “Thrive Comments” (Premium, by Thrive Themes) – if active it replaces the comments moderation link in the Toolbar with the Thrive Comments Moderation queue, which is only logical (and natural then) – of course this integrates with the before mentioned WP Comments Group support as well 🙂
- Customize the Howdy/Welcome item on top right corner – replace “Howdy” word, or use complete custom strings; set custom URL
- Greatly enhanced the “Fallback” item (instead of Main item, in “Build” Group) – if no supported Page Builder active, you can now still set a different icon, name and even URL
- For Main Item (Build Group) you can now optionally set a custom URL, including the URL target
- Added more detailed help tabs and enhanced help content throughout – also improved user guidance on different areas of the plugin
- On user profile pages added short info/description and link to plugin’s settings page (to adjust more stuff for the Toolbar)
- For Dev Mode – add additional sub page under “Appearance” for the Theme Installer ZIP Uploader – more convenient for admins and site builders testing themes during development phases for example 🙂
- For Dev Mode – add additional sub page under “Plugins” for the Plugin Installer ZIP Uploader – more convenient for admins and site builders installing and/or testing (premium) plugins
- For Dev Mode – added (optional) “ID” sub item for viewing Archives, Singles, Taxonomies – makes it easier to determine the ID of a given object/item – and avoids yet another plugin
- For Dev Mode – added “Newest Plugins” to the plugin installer sub items in the Toolbar (developers often need to test new plugins, this new item saves them a few clicks!)
- For Dev Mode – added “Newest Themes” to the theme installer sub items in the Toolbar (developers often need to test new themes, this new item saves them a few clicks!)
- Prepared plugin internally for its first (upcoming) Add-On plugin
- Added full support for newest features and changes coming with Elementor v2.4.0+, including Elementor Pro v2.4.0+
- Added “Toolbar Extras” integration with “Elementor Finder” feature – the interactive search since Elementor v2.3.0+
- Added official and third-party external “Elementor Resources” to the Elementor Finder feature
- Added the Elementor Tools tasks for “Regnerating CSS” (clear cache) and re-syncing the (external) Template Library to the Toolbar – Note: this is only available within the Admin context, not on the Frontend Toolbar!
- Added full plugin support for Yoast SEO and Yoast SEO Premium, including re-hooking from the top-level to the Site Group (optional Smart Tweak)
- Added “Toolbar Tools” submenu to “Tools” (currently pointing to our “Smart Tweaks”)
- Added CSS styling to fix the overflow issue from WordPress Core, with too many top-level Toolbar items, for screens/viewports equal or wider than 783px
- Added full Theme support for “Suki” (free), including all current features of the optional Suki Pro Add-On plugin (Premium) (both by SukiWP/ David Rozando)
- Added plugin support for “Easy Updates Manager” (free, by Easy Updates Manager Team) – plus a Smart Tweak to remove the top-level Toolbar item of the plugin
- Successfully tested with latest WordPress versions 5.0.3 and 5.0.2 before
Tweak:
- Updated and further improved the styling of the plugin’s settings page: easier to visually distinct various settings sections and fields – also included: better support for the “Dark Mode” plugin
- Added new external site check service “Load Impact” to the Web Group (optional Smart Tweak)
- Added submit/test Site URLs or Singular URLs for “GTmetrix”, “Google PageSpeed Insights” and “Load Impact” for the Web Group (optional Smart Tweak)
- Again, greatly enhanced plugin support for “Genesis Design Palette Pro” – with sub section links, plus Customizer deep links (if enabled)
- Greatly enhanced “Customify” Theme support – added more Toolbar items, as well as all new Pro Modules (via Customify Pro Add-On plugin)
- Improved and updated “OceanWP” Theme support, including some Add-Ons (Demos, Wizard, Posts Slider etc.)
- Enhanced “SEOPress” plugin support with re-hook setting feature (optional Smart Tweak) to move items from top-level to the Site Group
