Version: Beaver Builder 2.11

About this Release

Beaver Builder 2.11 includes the following new features and improvements.

🚀 New Features​

The following features have been added:

Popup is a new module that allows you to create dialogs, popovers, and flyouts that appear over page content, making it ideal for newsletter opt-ins, promotions, confirmations, videos, and other content that should appear at the right moment.

See the Popup Module article for more information.

Maintenance Mode​

Maintenance Mode is a new settings tab that allows you to temporarily show visitors a selected Beaver Builder layout while you update, launch, or work on your site. You can choose which roles bypass maintenance mode, schedule it for a specific time window, and return a 503 Service Unavailable status to help preserve search rankings.

See the Maintenance Mode article for more information.

Custom Attributes​

Custom Attributes is a new Advanced tab section that allows you to add HTML attributes to any row, column, or module. You can add attributes to the wrapper element, or, for modules, target an inner element with a CSS selector. This gives you more control over markup for accessibility, tracking, styling, JavaScript integrations, and other custom use cases.

See the Custom Attributes article for more information.

[Post Type] Settings tab​

[Post Type] Setting is a new tab in the Layout Settings (formerly Layout CSS & JavaScript) panel that provides a convenient way to modify your page, post, product, or custom post type data without leaving the builder. It lets you edit key WordPress fields for the item you are currently building, with changes saved directly to the WordPress post rather than to Beaver Builder layout data.

The tab name changes to match the type of content you are editing. For example, it appears as Page Settings for pages, Post Settings for posts, Product Settings for WooCommerce products, and so on.

WordPress Font Library Support​

Beaver Builder now supports the WordPress Font Library, allowing fonts installed or uploaded through WordPress to be used in Beaver Builder typography settings. Once a font is added to the Font Library, it becomes available in modules that include typography settings.

post_id Parameter​

A new post_id parameter has been added to field connections, allowing you to pull content from a specific post instead of the current page, post, or loop item. This makes it possible to display data from another post anywhere in your layout, such as a featured post’s title, image, excerpt, or other connected field.

See the Post ID section for more information.
