Breakdance 1.7 includes a number of important new features, and a large number of tweaks, enhancements, and general quality of life updates.

We’re very excited to announce that the first beta of Breakdance 1.7 is now available for testing. You can find the beta download in the customer portal.

Read on to find out more about what’s in store in Breakdance 1.7!

Build Massive WooCommerce Stores with Breakdance

New in 1.7, we’ve heavily optimized Breakdance to operate on WooCommerce stores with enormous product inventories and extremely large taxonomy term counts. Stores with huge numbers of products or those dealing with a large number of category and tag combinations can now operate smoothly without any performance hiccups. This is achieved through improved data handling and query optimization, ensuring that large-scale operations do not compromise the site’s speed and user experience.

This makes Breakdance an ideal solution for high-volume online retailers seeking a robust and reliable e-commerce platform. Looking ahead, this update positions Breakdance not just as a tool for current needs but as a future-proof solution for expanding online stores. As businesses grow and diversify their offerings, Breakdance will continue to provide a stable and efficient platform, adaptable to evolving market demands and customer expectations. Our commitment to scalability and performance makes Breakdance a valuable asset for ambitious WooCommerce store owners aiming to scale their operations seamlessly.

Introducing The Template Marketplace

We’re super excited to foster a rich ecosystem around Breakdance. One of the first steps toward that is the new Template Marketplace, which is launching alongside the first beta of Breakdance 1.7.

The Template Marketplace is a complete list of community-created and native templates available for use via Breakdance’s design library.

You can browse the list of templates and find beautiful designs to propel your site to the next level instantly.

To further enable the distribution and sale of third-party templates, we’ve introduced a few enhancements to our design library features.

Hide The “Copy Section” Button

On sites designated as design sets, visitors are presented with a convenient “copy section” button while browsing the site on the front-end.

For premium template sellers, this needs to be hidden for any users who haven’t already paid for the design.

In Breakdance 1.7, we’ve made this button optional and disabled by default.

Password Protect Your Design Sets

Previously, it was difficult to protect premium design sets from non-paying customers.

In Breakdance 1.7, you can password protect access to your design sets easily.

The password you designate can then be distributed to paying customers via your sales platform or other means.

Add Alternate & Static Items In Repeater Layouts

Breakdance features stellar support for repeatable content from plugins like Advanced Custom Fields and Meta Box via its Repeater element.

In Breakdance 1.7, you can now designate alternate Global Blocks and even static content to be shown interstitially within your Repeater element, enabling a vast array of creative and effective layouts.

Edit Rich Text Your Way

In Breakdance 1.7, we’ve introduced the ability to edit Rich Text elements with the TinyMCE editor.

This feature was highly demanded and provides an incredible amount of flexibility when authoring rich text content in Breakdance.

Developer API For Global Settings

Developers rejoice! You can now add your own Global Settings to Breakdance’s Global Settings areas via our new Global Settings API.

You can learn more about the API and view examples at https://breakdance.com/documentation/developers/global-settings-api/.

Enhanced Search with WooCommerce & Custom Post Type Support

In this update, we’ve supercharged the Breakdance’s Search Form element.

Search WooCommerce Products & Custom Post Types

Now, you have the power to refine your search results even further. With the new update, you can add an option in the Search Form element to display results from a specific post type. This means if you want your users to only see blog posts or product listings or any other custom post type in their search results, you can easily set that up.

Combine search with Breakdance’s elements for WooCommerce filtering

The Breakdance Search Form element seamlessly works hand-in-hand with our specialized elements for WooCommerce filtering. When users navigate through your WooCommerce store, they can effortlessly filter and refine their search results. Whether they’re looking for a particular product category, price range, or other attributes, our search functionality streamlines the shopping experience, guiding users to their desired products with ease.

In our recent update, we’ve bolstered the connection between the Breakdance Search Form element and our specialized elements for WooCommerce filtering. This enhancement ensures that when users browse your WooCommerce store, they can effortlessly filter and refine their search results. Be it a specific product category, price range, or other attributes, these filters can be integrated with the search results page users are taken to after searching with the upgraded Search Form Element. Our upgraded search functionality streamlines the shopping experience, making product discovery straightforward and efficient.

Smoothly integrate with third-party plugins like FacetWP and WP Grid Builder for added filtering capabilities

The Breakdance Search Form element is designed to integrate with popular third-party plugins, specifically FacetWP and WP Grid Builder. This integration provides users with enriched filtering capabilities, ensuring that they can access more refined and precise search results.

Accessibility Improvements for the Search Form

We believe in creating a web that’s accessible to all. To this end, we’ve addressed and fixed the A11Y issues related to the Search Form, ensuring no duplicate IDs and adding missing a aria-label. This not only enhances the user experience for those using screen readers but also makes it easier to ensure your website is compliant with accessibility standards.

New “WP_Query Found Posts Count” Condition

Ever wanted to display a custom message when no posts match the search criteria? Now you can. With the addition of the WP_Query Found Posts Count condition in the Element Display Conditions, you can set up your website to show a specific message or element if no posts are found. This feature is especially useful for sites with dynamic content, ensuring users always have context, even when their search yields no results.

Duplicate & Active Toggles for Templates, Headers, Footers, & Popups

Creating templates for your website’s headers, footers, popups, and global blocks has never been easier. With the new Duplicate and Active Toggle features, you can clone your templates in a snap and easily switch between them.

Beta Support for PHP 8.2

We’re excited to introduce beta support for PHP 8.2. Although WordPress is still in the beta phase for this PHP version, we’re gearing up to offer full support as soon as WordPress is on board. If you encounter any Breakdance-related issues with PHP 8.2, please let us know.

Enhancing Client Mode

We’ve refined Client Mode in Breakdance 1.6.

We’ve fixed an issue where editors could choose to edit a Breakdance post with the default editor.

We’ve also granted access for editors to manage Breakdance form submissions – even if they don’t have access to Breakdance itself.

Editors will now have a more streamlined experience, ensuring they can’t tamper with your design while still having the access they need.

Enhanced Error Dialogs

Building a website can sometimes be met with unforeseen errors. It could be a wonky plugin, a hosting hiccup, or just some tech gremlins messing around.

With Breakdance 1.6, we’re stepping it up with a snazzier error dialog. It gives you the nitty-gritty details. The best part? If you’re scratching your head, there’s now a one-click button to whip up an email to your hosting provider or support peeps.

So, no more tech-induced headaches. We’ve got your back, helping you sort out those pesky issues in no time.

Bug Fixes

Breakdance 1.1 Beta 1 includes numerous bug fixes. We will provide a complete changelog with the release of Breakdance 1.1 final, and during the beta period we will update the issues on the bug tracker to indicate which issues are addressed in Breakdance 1.1.

Breakdance 1.0.3 is now available.

Changes

• Fix “this link has expired” warning introduced in 1.0.2 that appears when trying to save certain settings

Breakdance 1.0.2 is now available.

We plan to offer time-limited free trials of Breakdance very soon. To facilitate this, we made it so that Breakdance will run in “trial” mode until a license key is entered. If no key is entered, Breakdance will stop working after 30 days.

If you see a message saying your trial is expiring or is expired, go to the Breakdance > Settings > License screen in the WP admin and enter your license key. If your license key is already present, simply going to the screen will be enough to take Breakdance out of “trial” mode.

If you don’t want your license key to be present on the site, you can remove it after you enter it.

Breakdance will know that the license was there previously, and will not go back to “trial” mode even after the license key is removed.

Changes

• Add ability to distribute free trials of Breakdance

Breakdance 1.0.1 is now available.

There were no changes from the release candidate to the final release.

I’m an Oxygen user – can I combine the $149/year special introductory pricing offer with my free year?

Your free year will carry over to year two, so when it’s time for the $149/year package to renew the first time, you simply won’t be billed – you’ll get a free year. The package will then renew as normal in subsequent years.
