What’s New in SP Page Builder v4.0.8?
Apart from sweeping away the pesky bugs, this update caters to useful new features to simplify SP Page Builder 4 further. Here’s what's new:
New Options Introduced for Better SEO
SP Page Builder 4 had already simplified the process of optimizing your website for search engines. Now to let you get a little extra out of your favorite page builder, Open Graph Type and Open Graph Description have been added. Previously, the open graph type was set to "website" by default for all pages. Now, this has been added as a separate option to let you choose from a number of different options like Articles, Books, Profile, and more.
To access these new additions, from the SP Page Builder 4 frontend sidebar, go to the Options and expand SEO. Here you should easily find both options.
Also, the “article: author”, “article: published_time” and “article:modified_time" meta properties have been added to the view page for your convenience.
More Ordering and Visibility Options for Row, Columns, and Addons
The Row and Columns Responsive settings now include the Visibility Options such as Hidden on Laptop, Hidden on Mobile Landscape, and Hidden on Tablet Landscape. Decide which rows and columns you want to display for different responsives with just a simple click! These new options have also been added to the Advanced Settings of all addons.
Introduced Tablet & Mobile Landscape in Column Order
The Column Order Options in SP Page Builder 4 allow you to control the order in which columns are displayed on your webpage on different devices. This feature is useful for creating responsive designs that display content in optimal order on different screen sizes and orientations. By rearranging the order of columns for different devices, you can ensure that your content is easily readable and visually appealing on all devices.
Now with this update, you can specify the order of columns for a tablet and mobile landscape orientation as well.
Get NoReferrer and NoOpener Options for Links
While adding links to an addon, previously, there were no separate options to allow you to choose NoReferrer or NoOpener. With this update, you can easily check or uncheck NoReferrer or NoOpener options according to your needs within any addon that comes with Link settings.
Backdrop Filter Option for Person and Image Layout Addons
After this update, you now have the ability to select from various options to set your overlay filter. The added Backdrop Filter allows you to apply effects such as Blurring, Contrast and brightness adjustments, and more.
Choose a layout for your Person addon where the text overlaps your addon's image and go to Color settings from your addon's inline editor. Then choose the Overlay tab and select Color for Overlay option. You can find your Backdrop Filter here.
For the Image Layout addon, choose a layout where the text overlaps the addon's image. Then go to the addon's General settings and expand Content Wrapper. You will find the Backdrop Filter option here at the bottom.
Fixes and Improvements
This update also includes several bug fixes and improvements for overall refined performance and usability.
With this update, Slideshow Addon, Image Layout Addon, and Feature Addon have improved overall. Previously, the Slideshow addon in the slideshow-based Layout Bundles failed to function properly. This update has now fixed the issue. Also, you can have a better experience with Image Layout and Feature Addon for an overall improved experience.
The Heading addon previously missed out on the Text Shadow option which has now been restored in this update. Plus, in the Opt-in form addon's inline Alignment settings would remain ineffective. After this update, you can find the issue solved. Also, the group item addon like Icons Group had issues while pasting. This has also been taken care of.
Please go through the changelog above to see the entire release note.
