What's new in Craftor

New features, improvements and fixes in every release. Licensed sites update from the WordPress Plugins screen like any other plugin.

  1. 0.2.3

    Latest

    The Flyout Builder, four new widgets and a big forms release — multi-step pages, richer choice fields and new choice styles.

    Added
    • Flyout Builder — slide-in panels from any edge of the screen, built with the full editor and opened from a button, heading, image or icon, or by the same triggers as popups.
    • Four new widgets: Animated Headline, Countdown, LottieFiles and SVG.
    • Transform and Mask style controls on every element.
    • Inline text formatting on the canvas — select text in a heading or text widget to make it bold, italic or coloured.
    • Pages & Steps for multi-step forms: a title, description, step label, conditional visibility and field shuffling per page, plus progress bar types, clickable step labels, a table of contents, a start page and a review step before submitting.
    • Step Mode: show one field per step, or the whole form on a single page.
    • Page dividers and up/down move arrows in the form's field list, so you can see — and change — which fields are on which page.
    • New choice options for Radio Buttons, Checkboxes, Dropdown and Multi-Select: choice order, "Other", "None", "Prefer not to answer" and "Don't know" choices, Select All, selection limits, a Clear button, up to 5 columns and "clears other choices" per checkbox.
    • Pills style for Radio Buttons and Checkboxes — rounded buttons that fill with your accent colour.
    • Image Choice tiles — an icon beside the label, with an optional description under each choice.
    • Form navigation button alignment, including Back on the left and Next on the right.
    • Workflow step names, descriptions and brand-coloured icons for every action type.
    Changed
    • Updated the bundled form engine to its latest long-term-support release.
    • Saving a workflow shows a smooth in-page confirmation, and reports failures clearly.
    Fixed
    • Dropdown lists and inputs keep a solid background when the form sits on a coloured section.
    • Slider-only settings no longer appear on Radio Buttons and Checkboxes.
    • Correct Answer only appears when Quiz Mode is on.
    • The "Top & Bottom" progress bar position now displays correctly.
    • Image Choice labels sit right under their image.
  2. 0.2.2

    Roll back to any previous version in one click.

    Added
    • Rollback to a previous version from Craftor → License — reinstall any earlier published build using WordPress's own plugin installer.
  3. 0.2.1

    Update notices, new-page previews and slider fixes.

    Fixed
    • The "new version available" notice could keep showing after updating.
    • Widgets on a brand-new, never-saved page showed without styling or behaviour in the editor preview until the first save.
    • Slider slides could lose their background colour after the first transition when a Container slideshow background was on the same page.
  4. 0.2.0

    PayPal and Square, six new integrations, smarter Figma import, reCAPTCHA and full translatability.

    Added
    • PayPal and Square payments in the Form widget, alongside Stripe.
    • Six new workflow integrations: HubSpot, Pipedrive, Airtable, Twilio SMS, Google Calendar and Google Drive.
    • Smarter Figma import that recognises buttons, calls to action, counters, forms, galleries, icon boxes, lists, pricing tables, progress bars, social icons and testimonials and turns them into the matching widgets.
    • The cloud template library, plus ready-made form templates.
    • Google reCAPTCHA (v2 and v3) spam protection for forms.
    • Hover states for widget styling.
    • Custom icon uploads, local Google Fonts, and new General and Performance settings.
    • An example add-on plugin for developers.
    • Full translatability — every admin and editor string is translation-ready, with 2,100+ strings in the bundled template.
    • A dedicated Icon Size slider on the Icon widget.
    • A reusable slider control across widget settings, matching the Layout tab.
    Fixed
    • The editor could fail to load on some sites because its script wasn't loaded as a module.
    • Uploaded SVG icons displayed tiny on the live site and ignored Style panel sizing.
    • The Icon widget's dashicons dropdown didn't work correctly in the editor.
    Changed
    • Craftor is now licensed per site under the Craftor Terms rather than the GPL.
