Mute option added to Video addon

Update: SP Page Builder 3.4.5 Pro brings tons of improvements and tweaks

As you may already know, Google Chrome has changed its autoplay policy. To ensure that your video will be auto-played & looped on an intended web page, it’s better to play the video in silent mode. To enable this, we’ve added a mute option in the Video addon. Now you can mute the videos to make sure that the video will autoplay and loop. Please note, you can mute the videos that are hosted on your server only.

Open link in same window in Client addon

Update: SP Page Builder 3.4.5 Pro brings tons of improvements and tweaks

In the previous versions of SP Page Builder, if you put any link on a client image/logo using the Clients addon, the link always opened in a new tab. With today’s update, we’ve added an option to open these links in the same tab. Just turn on the option appears in the client item.

Open link in new window in Icons Group addon

Update: SP Page Builder 3.4.5 Pro brings tons of improvements and tweaks

Yes, it’s exactly that what you’ve guessed. Now you can make the icon links to open in new tabs. Just turn on the Open Link In New Tab option in Icons Group addon and save changes. The Feature Box addon also gets a similar feature today.

Mobile sticky option enabled in Navigation addon

Previously, the Navigation addon’s sticky option was available for desktops and tablets only. Today we’ve enabled it for mobile devices as well. Lots of customers expressed their interest in using this feature on mobile phones. Now they get it.  

Accessibility improved

Icons, Icons Group, Button, and Button Group addons have just received a huge accessibility boost. We’ve added some descriptions where needed in the code, so that the users who need special care will get these additional details. This can be for a button, an icon, and so on.

There’s more

Besides these above mentioned big improvements, there are some other notable enhancements in today’s SP Page Builder update. There are a bunch of tweaks, several bug-fixes and other updates inside.

We hope you’ll find SP Page Builder 3.4.5 Pro significantly useful for your business. Please try it and let us know your feedback. More amazing stuff are on the way. Stay tuned!

Hi! IT will be better if you can create new addon))) caorusel with another addons inside. Sometimes we need this, and need to buy another component such as “smart slider”, and sometimes I need a courusel anything) such as person addon.
And another problem that person addon doesn’t has a URL, only social url. I could make it manually, but better if it will be in the addon automatically

Great work again!

But the "media path change" may still not be applied... Imagine the situation, when over a hundred!!! webs updating (using SPPB) and on most of them changing the media path.. Aaaargh!

Guys, spare my life and mark this at top10 (not only by me asked/wished a pretty long time ago) ;-)

Thanx again for a marvelous work!

Great news, Congratulation.
I want to mention a useful feature :

Most Sp Page Builder Popup windows(in Back-end) has a long height. so user should scroll a lot to reach the top and close it. Can you add "Closing the popup" by click on out of the box? (in dark section)

with best. :)

Thanks, as I know (Cancel) button is on the top and bottom.
But in the future, we will reduce the height of windows in a smart way.

Closing addon configuration by clicking in background might be a bad idea. Users might click there [b]accidentally[/b], and lose their changes.

Congratulations on this wonderful job!
Now the updates are great but we need some tutorials to properly use these new tools! For example, I do not really understand how to deploy the Navigation addon's sticky!

Tutorials! Tutorials! Tutorials! We want tutorials !!!! ;-D

Thanks. We will. Sticky - means "glued" - like [=] menu in helix header.
It's useful if you decided to build OnePage site, and you do not use the Header part from a template.

Congratulations for great work. I only have one suggestion and that is to be able to allow images to be used in the tabs. Since there are several icons in PNG format it would be great to be able to use them in the tabs.

Thanks, do you mean instead the title of the element to use an image?

Hi. Thanks for answering. I mean that you have the option to choose if you want an icon or an image as in the addon feature box.

It's just a snippet that you can add for tracking actions in Google Analytics - it's a crucial thing for anyone with a larger site:
