Bundles v2.1.0 through v2.4.0 — major feature release.

Emmet HTML Expansion (NEW)

Type an abbreviation in the HTML editor, press Tab, get expanded HTML: - div.hero>h1{Title}+p{Body} → nested section with heading and paragraph - ul.menu>li.item\$*4>a[href="#"]{Link} → 4-item menu with auto-numbered classes - img.avatar[alt=""] → self-closing void tag

Supported: tags, .class, #id, [attr="val"], {text}, > child, + sibling, *N multiply, \$ numbering. Cursor auto-jumps to the first empty slot.

Removed: Unreliable HTML class autocomplete (replaced by Emmet).

Frontend CSS Layers (NEW)

Three independent toggles under Page Blocks → Settings → Frontend CSS:

• Semantic Reset (~1KB) — modern reset, accessible images, prefers-reduced-motion
• Typography (~3KB) — system-font stack (zero external requests), responsive headings via clamp(), 65ch measure, styled lists / blockquotes / code / kbd / tables
• Utility Classes — ~330 Tailwind-inspired classes (grid, flex, spacing, typography, colors, borders, shadows, transitions) + sm: md: lg: responsive variants. Frontend inlines ONLY the classes actually used on the page — no bloat. Builder loads the full set for autocomplete.

Top-Level Page Blocks Admin (NEW)

Moved out of Settings to its own top-level menu: - All Page Blocks — list table with bulk actions, search, status filter - Add New — full edit form with Monaco editors, live preview, position picker - Settings — existing settings page - License — license management

Shortcode Library (NEW)

Reusable blocks stored in a custom database table (wp_gt_page_blocks): - [page_block id="123"] — embed by ID - [page_block slug="hero-section"] — embed by slug - Theme-independent position hooks via gt_pb_get_positions() filter (wp_head, wp_footer, the_content, loop_start, etc.)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed cssClasses config being serialized as JSON object (array_unique key gaps) — Array.isArray() now passes on the JS side.

Compatibility

• WordPress 6.0+
• PHP 8.1+
• Works with any WordPress theme
• PHPStan level 5: 0 errors

Critical fix for v2.0.0/v2.0.1.

The builder was stuck on "Loading Page Blocks Builder..." with no errors. Root cause: the v2.0.0 release ported the dropin's JS which expects the app element ID md-pb-builder-app, but the template HTML still used the old ID md-page-block-builder-app. The JS bailed out silently at the missing-element check.

Fix

• templates/builder-shell.php: Updated app element ID to md-pb-builder-app
• Updated wrapper class to md-pb-builder-root and loading class to md-pb-builder-loading to match the new CSS naming

Upgrading from v2.0.x

Just update — clear browser cache to reload the new template.

Internal hardening release. No functional changes.

Fixes

• Fix block_categories_all filter signature mismatch (callback registered with accepted_args=2 but only declares 1 parameter)
• Fix esc_attr() type errors when emitting external asset tags — cast int post_id and int|false filemtime result to string before passing
• Properly escape stylesheet id attribute in external file output
• Remove redundant is_array() / is_string() checks against already-narrowed types

Verification

• PHPStan level 5 passes with 0 errors on the entire plugin
• All previously broken features verified working

Major refactor bringing the standalone plugin to production parity with the MD theme dropin.

Major Features

• AI Chat Sidebar — Multi-turn conversation replaces the inline AI bar. Persistent context, "+ New Chat" button, message history. OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini supported. Theme CSS variables sent as system prompt context.
• Inline Text Editing in Preview — Click any heading, paragraph, link, or list item directly in the preview iframe to edit. Enter commits, Escape cancels.
• Live Preview Patching — No more flicker on every keystroke. CSS/content edits patch iframe DOM in place; only structural changes trigger full reload.
• HTML Snippet Buttons — Quick-insert buttons on the HTML editor title bar: sec, div, h1-h3, p, a, img, ul, ol, span, b, i. Wraps selection or inserts empty.
• Section Renaming — Double-click any section name in the sidebar to rename it inline.
• SVG Icons — Replaces unicode glyphs for hide/duplicate/delete buttons.
• Keyboard Shortcuts Overlay — ? button shows all shortcuts.
• Export/Import — Download/upload sections as JSON, append or replace modes.

Settings

• Preview Customization — New admin fields for custom CSS, head HTML, and footer JS injected into the preview iframe. No PHP filter needed for common cases.
• AI default model changed from gpt-5.2 to claude-sonnet-4-6.

Fixes

• Script injection in preview iframe: Now injected post-load via contentDocument.createElement('script') instead of inline <script> in srcdoc. Fixes SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<' errors caused by </script> parsing in srcdoc HTML.
• SVG icon click delegation: Uses closest('[data-action]') to traverse up from clicked SVG to the button.
• HTTPS enforcement: All preview style URLs forced to https:// to eliminate mixed content warnings.
• AI conversation history: All three providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) properly send the message array.

Removed

• Terminal feature (was beta) — removed for production safety.

Compatibility

• WordPress 6.0+
• PHP 8.1+
• Works with any WordPress theme (no theme dependencies)
