===Why aBlocks Is Different from Other Builders===
If you want visual design, you can use Elementor.
If you want speed, you can choose Spectra.
If you want a no-code builder, Divi can work.
If you want something clean and stable, Beaver Builder is ok.
If you only need landing pages, SeedProd is enough.
**But if you want all of these together, in one place, aBlocks is the answer.**
aBlocks brings visual freedom, performance, no-code building, stability, and conversion tools into a single all-in-one WordPress website builder. This is what makes aBlocks fundamentally different from every other builder.
And it doesn’t stop there. aBlocks includes deep customization controls, built-in animation and effects, a powerful dashboard builder, an advanced form builder, dynamic content with loop layouts, modal and popup creation, smart asset generation for fast performance, coming soon and maintenance modes, a large library of pre-made templates, pages, and patterns, plus a built-in demo importer — all in one system. Together, these features replace the need for **20+ separate plugins.**
This all-in-one capability is what truly sets aBlocks apart. If you are choosing a plugin for a startup that you plan to grow and scale in the future, aBlocks is a confident, long-term choice. It doesn’t just give you what you need today — it already includes what you’ll need as your website grows. And with every new release, aBlocks continues to expand these capabilities even further.
===Launch & Visibility Control System===
aBlocks includes a built-in system to control when and how your website is visible — without using a separate plugin. You can enable **Coming Soon mode or Maintenance mode** and design those pages directly inside the gutenberg.
It supports **SEO-safe Coming Soon pages, proper 503 Maintenance mode**, and **page-level visibility control**, so you can launch, pause, or update your site with full control and clean structure.
===GSAP powered WordPress Animation & Motion System===
aBlocks includes a built-in **motion control system** inside the WordPress default editor (gutenberg). Every block supports scroll-based motion, hover and mouse effects, sticky behavior, entrance animations, floating effects, transform controls and more.
For advanced needs, aBlocks adds **native GSAP-powered animation right inside the gutenberg.** You can trigger GSAP effects on scroll, hover, click, or interaction events directly from block settings, without writing code or installing animation plugin.
**Result:** WordPress Gutenberg animation revolution by aBlocks
Professional-grade, smooth, high-performance GSAP animations in WordPress — fully visual, fully controlled, and optimized for speed.
===Dashboard Builder===
aBlocks lets you build real user dashboards, not just styled pages. You can design custom login, registration, password reset, and account pages, then connect them into a **complete frontend dashboard** — fully inside the gutenberg.
With role-based layout control and dynamic content support, you can create **store dashboards, LMS student panels, instructor areas, membership accounts, or SaaS-style user frontend dashboards** that look and work like modern apps — not confusing WordPress admin pages
===Performance by Design (Smart Asset Generation)===
aBlocks is built for speed from the core. It uses **smart asset generation**, which means your website loads only the styles and scripts that are actually used on each page — nothing extra, nothing unused.
Every block generates its own CSS and JavaScript only when needed. Editor assets stay in the editor, frontend assets stay on the frontend. This keeps pages clean, lightweight, and fast, even as your site grows.
👉 What this means for you:
- Faster loading pages
- No builder bloat
- Better Core Web Vitals
- Smooth performance on large sites
You don’t need extra performance plugins just to fix builder overhead. With aBlocks, performance is **designed into the system**, not added later.
===Forms, Popups & Conversion Tools===
aBlocks lets you **collect data, trigger actions, and drive conversions** without relying on separate form or popup plugins. You can build login, registration, contact, lead collection, subscription, survey, and multi-step forms directly inside the gutenberg — with full control over layout, styling, and behavior.
Alongside forms, aBlocks includes a built-in **modal and popup builder** for announcements, offers, gated content, and user actions. You can also add **Stripe and PayPal buttons**, countdowns, notifications, and call-to-action elements to turn static pages into interactive, conversion-focused experiences.

===Templates, Pages & Pattern Library with Demo Importer===
aBlocks includes a complete library of **ready-made templates, full pages, and reusable patterns.** You can import an entire page, a specific section, or a layout pattern with one click, then customize everything freely without restrictions.
Unlike many builders that require separate demo importer plugins or only offer partial templates, aBlocks provides **templates, pages, and patterns together,** with a **built-in demo importer.** This means you can launch full website designs instantly — then adjust structure, styling, animation, and content without adding any extra plugins.
===aBlocks — Blocks That Build Real Websites===
aBlocks includes **100+ powerful blocks** designed to build complete websites, systems, and user experiences — not just page sections.

===aBlocks Replaces Multiple Plugins===
aBlocks is designed to reduce plugin dependency, not increase it. Instead of stacking different tools for design, animation, dashboards, forms, popups, performance, and launch control, aBlocks brings these capabilities into one connected system — built to work together from the start.
With aBlocks, you can replace the need for:
**Page builders** – visual layouts, advanced blocks, responsive control
**Theme builders** – headers, footers, templates, dynamic layouts
**Dashboard plugins** – frontend user dashboards, login, account pages
**Animation plugins** – scroll, hover, motion, GSAP-powered effects
**Popup & modal plugins** – popups, modals, notices, interactions
**Form plugins** – login, registration, lead, payment, survey forms
**Coming soon plugins** – coming soon & maintenance modes
**Performance helpers (partially)** – smart asset generation and optimized loading
The result is a cleaner setup, faster sites, fewer conflicts, and easier scaling.
Instead of managing 10–20 separate plugins, you build everything inside one flexible builder that grows with your website.

== Changelog ==
= 2.12.0 - 03/09/2026 =
* Added – Atomic blocks: a new family of primitives — Text, Div, Flex, Grid, Image and SVG — that render one semantic tag with no wrapper markup, share a single style system, and emit one small stylesheet per unique design instead of one per block
* Added – Reusable global classes: name a set of styles once, apply it to any atomic block, and edit it in one place to update every block using it, with a class manager for renaming, duplicating and deleting across the site
* Added – Interaction states: style Hover, Focus, Focus (keyboard) and Active on any atomic block or global class, and preview each state in the canvas while you edit it
* Added – Custom responsive breakpoints: register your own breakpoints with min and max widths, switch the canvas to them from the block toolbar, and choose whether values cascade down to narrower screens or apply only within their own range
* Added – Interactions for atomic blocks: several animations per block, each with its own trigger, easing, repeat and per-breakpoint settings, including scroll-linked animations that follow the scroll position
* Added – Paste from Google Docs: a pasted document becomes aBlocks blocks — headings, paragraphs, lists and tables — and its images are imported into the media library as WebP, deduplicated and named after their alt text. Pastes from anywhere else are untouched
* Added – Cookie Consent: a consent banner with per-category tag blocking, so scripts you register stay blocked until the visitor agrees, and every form submission records the consent that was in force when it was sent
* Added – Roles and permissions: grant editing, advanced settings or dashboard access per role, so a content-only author gets a content-only editor
* Improved – A page now loads only the global classes it actually uses, rather than the whole library
* Improved – The atomic inspector follows the layout conventions authors already know: panels that hold saved settings are marked, repeatable lists drag to reorder, and units sit on the label row
* Improved – Enable Tablet Hamburger Menu control for the navigation block
* Improved – Updated the StoreEngine SDK to 1.5.6
* Fixed – Global classes could be lost when several were saved at once: each save rewrote the whole library, so a slow request could land last and overwrite every class created while it was in flight. Saves are now serialized and applied atomically on the server
* Fixed – Class edits made just before switching to another class, closing the tab or saving the post were silently dropped
* Fixed – Creating, duplicating or converting a class waited for the server before the editor responded, so on a slow connection it looked as though nothing had happened — and a class could end up applied to a block without ever being saved
* Fixed – Pasting content into an Atomic Text block could replace it with a plain paragraph, losing the block's styles and classes
* Fixed – Nested atomic blocks rendered without their styles on the frontend of block themes
* Fixed – A block's own styles silently overrode the global class being edited, with nothing on screen to say so; the Style tab now names the properties responsible and can clear them
* Fixed – A global class applied to a block did not stay selected after a reload, so the next edit landed on the block's own styles instead of the class
* Fixed – Duplicating a block did not carry its class styles across correctly
* Fixed – Custom width was ignored on Div, Flex and Grid while min and max width worked
* Fixed – A child Div did not fill the available width inside a row-direction Flex container
* Fixed – Div and Flex containers set to the same width rendered at different sizes on the frontend
* Fixed – A single Div or Flex block was hard to select with the sidebar closed
* Fixed – Flex direction was set to row but the Row icon did not read as active
* Fixed – The active class colour did not persist after clicking away
* Fixed – Accordion title index IDs and the font selection UI
* Security – Block attribute values are escaped before being written into a `
