With today’s update, both the Lite and the Pro versions are getting multiple improvements including the ability to use WebP images without server-side dependency, and more. I’m sure you’ll enjoy these changes and experience a more enhanced website development.

Excited to find out what you’re getting in this update? Let’s have a look at the changelog.

SP Page Builder 3.7.7 Changelog:

New: WebP & PDF formats are now visible in the browse view

WebP & PDF Visibility in the Browse View

Now, you can upload your WebP and PDF files from the media manager, and it will be visible in the browse view. From the Admin dashboard, go to Media > Browse Folders and just drag & drop your WebP and PDF files to upload. The files are now visible here and also in the All Items list, which was not the case before.

Use WebP Images Without Server-Side Dependency

You all know SP Page Builder has global support for the WebP image format. This file format is really efficient for getting a faster and SEO friendly website. Previously, to use this file format, you needed to have WebP format support in your GD library on your server. But with this update, you have the ability to use WebP images without the GD library support.

Other Notable Improvements

Apart from the newly added features, we have also made some improvements to the existing ones. After updating to a new version, wave goodbye to the browser cache issue as we have added the version number to the CSS and JS files. You will also get to enjoy several fixes on editor issue with the article integration, column option tooltip issue, K2 integration issue, etc.

So what’s the wait? Hurry up! Update your favorite page building tool as soon as possible. I’m sure you’ll love the changes that come with the SP Page Builder v3.7.7, and let us know how you feel about it in the comments. Enjoy!

I love the fact that sppb is improving but what about tables ? The way table is right now it’s too complex even for an experience user, worth looking into. Also good to see some white labelling if possible.

Awesome ... Hope to see Limit Content Block [Load More or See More Button at the end of the page] to hide/control the content of long pages to enhance the load time

#11188

That’s quite a nice idea. We will talk to our developers and see what they think about it. Thanks for your suggestion.

my site complete crashes fter after updating, where can i get the 3.7.6 version to repair my site

#11192

i open a support ticket and hope you can help me out, last time i needed support (and i almost never use your support) it takes 3-4 days to hear from you. But I can't wait that long with this problem, it's about my company website.

After the update, some of our sites are corrupted. I created a support ticket for this

#11196

What exactly did you mean by corrupted?

#11197

I have seen your site. I don't think it's related to the SP Page Builder. Seem JCH caching is causing the problem. You might try to clear JCH cache.

Thanks

#11198

I created a support ticket for this. screenshots are there. If you wish, you can check www.joomlavia.com.

#11200

I cleared the JCH cache problem persists. But when I close the JCH plugin the problem is solved

#11201

The issue could be wrongly configured of the JCH. Page Builder is not responsible for that. Please read their documentation and configure it properly.

Thanks
