Schema Support for SP Page Builder Pages
If you've ever wished your SP Page Builder pages could do more for your SEO without touching a single line of code, this one's for you!
Because schema support just landed for your SP Page Builder pages.
Note: Schema support requires the System - Schema.org plugin to be installed and enabled on your Joomla site from the Plugin Manager.
With the new schema support in SP Page Builder pages, you can define exactly what your page represents. Pick a schema type, fill in the relevant fields, and SP Page Builder handles the structured data output in the background.
All you have to do is:
Open Page Settings from your SP Page Builder page
Go to the Schema tab and choose the appropriate Schema Type from the dropdown
Fill in the relevant fields such as title, description, date, author, and more
Save your page and the structured data will be applied automatically
Once you save the changes you won't see anything different on the page itself. But under the hood, SP Page Builder injects a properly formatted structured data block into your page's code to make it more eligible for rich results!
SP Page Builder now embraces the Proof of Work CAPTCHA from Joomla 6.1, adding a smart new shield to keep spam out of your forms.
Getting started is refreshingly simple. Just enable the Proof of Work CAPTCHA from your Joomla plugins, tweak the settings to match your needs, and save. Once that’s done, head over to your SP Page Builder form settings and select it from the CAPTCHA options.
That’s it, your forms are now backed by an extra layer of protection.

Date Offset for Current Date Filtering in Dynamic Content
Tired of manually updating that calendar of events on your site — only to accidentally leave up something that already happened? Yeah, that's not a great look.
Whether you're running a concert calendar, a community events page, a theatre schedule, or anything in between, keeping time-sensitive content accurate is a constant chore. Or at least, it used to be.
Because now, with the Collection addon filters in Dynamic Content, you can define a rolling date range that updates itself. The new Date Offset option dynamically fetches content relative to the current date. So whatever's relevant right now is exactly what shows up. All you have to do is set it once, and walk away.
Your "Upcoming Events" section? Finally living up to its name.

Other Notable Enhancements
On top of that, here are a few more improvements we slipped in:
Numbered-type pagination in dynamic content and dynamic article Dynamic Content and Dynamic Article listings now support numbered pagination, so your visitors get a clearer sense of where they are in a list and easier for them to jump to a specific page directly.
All Slider-type Addons Now Includes Pause on Hover All slider type addons now pause automatically when a visitor hovers over them. This gives users full control to read or interact with the current slide without it sliding away.
Grid Support for Div addon The Div addon now supports grid layout along with max height and max width controls, giving you finer control over how content is structured and constrained within a div container.
Background Image as Title for Accordion Addon You can now set a background image as the title area of your Accordion addon, making your accordions visually richer without needing any custom code or workarounds.
