MoxKit Addons for Elementor

Changelog

1.2.0

• New: Vertical Accordion with editable nested Containers: expanding desktop panels that work like tabs (or a stacked layout), responsive mobile headers on the Elementor breakpoints, per-device spacing, single or multiple open panels, library icons per title and for the open/closed indicators, title-number typography, keyboard controls, and reduced-motion support.
• New: Post Categories widget: categories, tags, or any public taxonomy as a list (optionally nested), pills, cards, or count tiles; one icon for all or an icon, color, and name per term; post counts in three formats; a palette or one accent color; the current category highlighted; lift, slide, fill, or glow hover.
• New: Popular Posts widget: rank by views, comments, date, last update, or random, filtered by category or tag and by publish date; numbered list, ranking, cards, image overlay, or featured layouts, stacked, side by side, or in a swipeable row with previous/next buttons; rank numbers in seven looks and four color schemes (one color, medals, a first-to-last blend, or a palette); date, views, comments, author, category, and reading time.
• New: Post View Counter extension (off by default) that counts post views for Popular Posts; editors, previews, prefetches, and bots are not counted. Other view counter plugins can be used through their custom field.
• Fixed: In the editor, a new Custom Heading text-mask image (or gradient, size, or font) did not show on animated words until the page was reloaded, and the text could stay empty while the image was loading.
• Fixed: In the editor, Process Showcase connectors between rows did not follow changes to their thickness, gap, or speed until the page was reloaded.
• New: Custom Heading rebuilt: the heading is made of parts, each with its own font, color, gradient, image text mask (background image showing through the letters), or outline, a highlighter or underline marker with its own color, height, position, corner radius, and width, and its own animation. Images can sit between words. The whole heading animates as one block or by part, word, letter, or typewriter, with 11 effects, triggers on scroll, every time it scrolls into view, on page load, or on hover, and looping float, pulse, wiggle, wave, flowing fill, shine, or spin. The eyebrow and description are gone (use separate widgets); headings already on your pages keep working unchanged.
• New: MoxKit Waves extension for Containers and Sections (Style > MoxKit Waves): seamless animated wave dividers in six styles with up to three layers, per-layer colors and opacity, flow, flow with rise and fall, or liquid motion, top, bottom, or both. Enable or disable it under MoxKit > Extensions.
• Changed: Each widget now loads only its own stylesheet plus a small shared one (3 KB) instead of one 86 KB file for all widgets.
• Changed: Fewer database queries on every page: MoxKit settings load together with WordPress’s own settings, and the header/footer lookup reads only templates of the needed type.
• Changed: Animated Shape Dividers pause while they are off screen.
• New: Animated Shape Divider extension for Containers and Sections (Style > Shape Divider Animation): a seamless flow (the shape is rebuilt so its ends meet), tide, breathe, or sway per side, with direction, speed, strength, a second layer for depth, and pause on hover. Enable or disable it under MoxKit > Extensions.
• New: Advanced Rating can use any icon from the Elementor Icon Library, with an optional separate icon for unfilled ratings (for example a solid and an outline star).
• New: Chart vertical bars can show the label and value beside each bar, on the right or left: across at the bottom of the bar (label above value, like a vertical progress bar), next to its top, or up along the bar. A track color draws a full-height rail behind each bar, and bars can be as thin as 2% of their slot.
• Fixed: Custom Cursor in the Elementor editor only followed the pointer over widget content, not across the whole Container.
• New: Advanced Rating widget: stars, rounded stars, hearts, circles, or any library icon on a 1–10 scale; exact, half, or whole-icon fill; scores as 4.6, 4.6/5, 4.6 out of 5, or 92%; title and review count; three layouts; fill, pop, and rise entrance animations; icon hover effects.
• New: Custom Cursor extension for Containers (Advanced > Custom Cursor): 18 browser cursors, or a dot, trailing ring, ring, blend circle, spotlight glow, text bubble, or image that follows the pointer, with trailing, link-hover, and click effects. Enable or disable it under MoxKit > Extensions.
• New: Chart horizontal bars with the label left, right, or above the bar and the value at the bar end, inside the bar, on the opposite side, or next to the label; track color, row spacing, and label column width.
• New: Chart value prefix and suffix; value position above the bar or point, inside the bar, above or below the label, or left or right of the label; long labels wrap or are cut off with side spacing; Donut Center shows the total or custom text with a caption and its own typography, colors, and background.
• New: Accordion open/close animations (slide, slide + fade, zoom, rise, drop, blur, 3D unfold) with duration and easing.
• New: Accordion Title box with Normal, Hover, and Open tabs for title color, background, border color, and shadow.
• New: Process Showcase badge border type and an adjustable outer ring.
• Changed: Chart values and labels are HTML text, so they keep their real font size and the Site Settings global fonts at any chart width.
• Fixed: Image Marquee and Text Marquee links did not respond on the repeated copy that keeps the loop seamless.
• Fixed: Chart labels overlapped, and value and label sizes shrank or grew with the chart width.
• Fixed: Icon colors, including the Secondary color on hover, were replaced by the Site Settings link colors when the icon had a link.
• Fixed: Process Showcase badge border stayed invisible until a border color was set.
• Fixed: Navigation Menu was hidden on the live page whenever a pointer effect was selected.

1.1.0

• New: Icon widget with Elementor library icons in default, stacked, or framed styles; layered filled pulses, outline ring pulses, glow, and a turning dashed ring; looping icon animations and hover effects; full style controls.
• New: Liquid Glass extension for Containers (Style > Liquid Glass) with nine presets, customizable refraction, bezel, blur, edge shine and radius, a frosted fallback outside Chrome and Edge, and per-device options. Enable or disable it under MoxKit > Extensions.
• New: Flip Box liquid morph effect (ripple, melt, or wave), click/tap/keyboard trigger, Front and Back Background and Background Overlay (image, gradient, opacity, blend mode, CSS filters), and full typography, padding, border, shadow, and alignment controls.
• New: Counter (formerly Statistic) with the icon on the left, right, top, or bottom, a styleable content box, ten number animations (count up with easing, odometer, slot machine, scramble, typewriter, wave, flip, drop, blur focus, none), and prefix/suffix styling.
• New: Process Showcase per-step buttons with icons, number or icon + number badge markers with advanced badge styling, responsive columns, connectors that continue, snake, or fade between wrapped rows, animated connectors (light beam, flowing dashes, travelling dot, draw on scroll), and step box width, margin, and styling in every layout.
• New: Chart color modes (single, per item, gradient) with per-item overrides that accept global colors, bar thickness and rounded corners, smooth lines, point styles (hollow, filled, ring, square, diamond, none), area fills (vertical, horizontal, or blended item colors), entrance animations for bars, lines, areas, and donuts, and a chart box.
• New: Accordion icons from the icon library (closed and open), animated plus/minus and chevron indicators, eleven hover animations, and a full Icon style section.
• New: Advanced Image now mirrors Elementor’s Image widget (image resolution with srcset, attachment captions, media file link with lightbox, width, max width, height, object fit and position, opacity and CSS filters for normal and hover), plus Ink bleed and Liquify scroll reveals, Spin 360 loops, and a reveal duration.
• New: Missing style controls added to Countdown (finished message), Steps, Statistics, Team, Video, Pie Chart, and Pricing.
• New: MoxKit widgets show Material Symbols icons and a “mox” badge in the Elementor panel.
• Changed: Button box settings now live inside the Button section as padding and border radius; the padding default is shown and can go down to 0.
• Changed: Chart, Advanced Image, and Icon previews in the editor are rendered by the server so they always match the live page.
• Fixed: Accordion open indicator showed garbled characters.
• Fixed: Chart bar colors ignored Elementor global colors.
• Fixed: Flip Box did not load its script when it was the only MoxKit widget on a page.
• Fixed: Pages kept showing cached widget markup after a plugin update; Elementor’s cache is now cleared once per update.
• Security: Editor previews escape repeater titles and chart colors and only allow safe link schemes.
