Envo Blocks – Store Templates, Blocks & Layouts for WooCommerce

Changelog

1.4.0

• New: PDF Invoices (Envo Blocks > Invoices) – invoices, credit notes and packing slips for WooCommerce orders, for any country: 18 country presets with the document words, identifiers and tax texts, editable labels, numbers without gaps (yearly, monthly or one series, fiscal year start, start number), issued documents that never change (stored with the order), credit notes for refunds, “Cancel and reissue”, the PDF attached to the order e-mails, a button in My account, an Invoice box and column in the orders, bulk issuing, product fields (e.g. HSN/SAC), the tax summary per rate (also counted once per rate for Japan), the total in words, the payment QR code on unpaid bank transfer invoices, right-to-left documents, and free font packs for Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Indian scripts, Arabic, Hebrew and Thai.
• New: Invoice Download block – the PDF invoice of the order on the order confirmation page.
• New: Store Layouts (Envo Blocks > Store Layouts) – own designs of the product page, the shop and categories, the cart, the order received page and My account, made of blocks, in any theme (block and classic), with ready-made designs in several colours and live demos. New blocks for them: Store Breadcrumbs, Shop Toolbar, Order Received and My Account.
• New: Side cart – a Store Layout of the type “Side cart”: a cart panel that slides in on every page from the WooCommerce Mini-Cart, the cart links of the theme and after Add to cart, with the Cart Items and Cart Summary blocks (quantities, remove, coupon, savings, View cart and Checkout). The cart loads in the browser (Store API), so cached pages stay right.
• Every template recommends the free Envo Blocks Store theme; “Learn more” opens its page. It is not listed when it (or a child theme of it) is active.
• Changed: the plugin is now called “Envo Blocks – Store Templates, Blocks & Layouts for WooCommerce”.
• New: translations into 31 languages are included.
• New: Product Tabs block – replaces the tabs of the product page: Description, Additional information, Reviews, own tabs made of blocks (also only for chosen categories), the tabs of each product and the tabs of other plugins, in any order. Tabs on top, left or right, or an accordion, four styles, icons, colors, an accordion on phones; keyboard and #reviews links work. “Transform to” turns the Product Details block of WooCommerce into it.
• New: Product data > Tabs – own tabs for one product (title + text with the WordPress editor, up to 10). They show in the Product Tabs block and in the WooCommerce tabs of classic themes and of the Product Details block.
• New: Free Shipping Progress block (from Envo Blocks PRO) – the missing amount for free shipping with a bar that follows the cart.
• New: Wishlist Button and Wishlist blocks (from Envo Blocks PRO) – save products for later, for guests and customers, with a wishlist page (WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > Page setup > Wishlist page). Envo Blocks PRO adds hearts on product images, a header icon with a drawer, a share link and “Add all to cart”.
• New: product videos – Product data > Videos adds up to 5 videos to a product (YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion or an own mp4 / webm file) with an own cover image and their place in the gallery (first, after the main image, last). They are shown in the product gallery of WooCommerce with a play button, and the player loads only after the click. An own video file also plays (muted) over the product image in product lists while the pointer is on it. Envo Blocks PRO shows them in its Product Gallery (Vertical) too.
• New: Envo Blocks > Checkout Fields – show, hide, rename, make required or optional and reorder the address fields of the checkout, and add own text, select and checkbox fields (block checkout and classic checkout). Answers are saved with the order and shown with it, in e-mails and in My account.
• New: Payment QR Code block – for orders paid by direct bank transfer (on hold or pending) a QR code for the banking app: QR Platba (SPD) for CZK, EPC QR (SEPA, “GiroCode”) for EUR, with the account, amount, variable symbol and message, and the details for typing them in. For the Order Confirmation template; the customer e-mails get the code too (an embedded PNG). Envo Blocks > Payment QR Code sets the format, account, message and the e-mails and shows a sample code. Made on your site, no external service.

1.3.4

• New: Announcement Bar block – messages that take turns, scroll as a ticker or sit side by side, with links, icons and a close button that the browser remembers. Nothing moves with “reduce motion”.
• New: Countdown block – to a date and time, or every day to a time on the days you choose (“order by 2 pm”), in the time zone of your site; when it ends it hides or shows your text.
• New: Opening Hours block – the week with a live “Open now / Closed · opens …” status (right on cached pages too), today highlighted and special days such as holidays.
• New: Stock Indicator block – “Only 3 left in stock” with a bar, from the real stock of the product; follows the chosen variation.
• New: Order Tracking block – the WooCommerce order tracking form with a heading, a text and your colors. The found order (status, updates as a timeline, products, addresses) is styled to match, only the sent form shows it, the page jumps to it and a “Track another order” link leads back.
• Faster: the check whether the theme has its own canvas template (~50 ms on every page) is kept until the theme or its templates change.
• Stock Indicator: while it shows, the stock line of WooCommerce in the same product is hidden (no stock shown twice).
• Admin menu: Welcome stays the first item of Envo Blocks (items of other plugins, such as the PRO Popups, come after Blocks); the PRO blocks on Welcome have their spacing back.

1.3.3

• New: “Envo Blocks Canvas (no header and footer)” page template for themes without a canvas template of their own (block and classic themes). Templates with their own header and footer are imported into it.
• New: after activation the plugin opens Envo Blocks > Templates Import (once); the Welcome page has a “Templates Import” button.
• Improved: the template preview uses the page template chosen for the import (the canvas template for templates with their own header and footer).
• Improved: plugins and the theme that are already active are no longer listed next to a template.
• Changed: requires WordPress 6.7 or newer.

1.3.2

• Changed: the “Blocks” tab of the template window is now called “Sections” (page sections such as a header, a hero or a product grid), so it is not mixed up with the blocks of the plugin.
• Improved: the search of the template window also looks in the descriptions, categories and page names of the templates; a section is also found by the description of its demo. Several words are searched together.
• Improved: the left sidebar of the template window keeps the switches and the note in view on low screens; only the list of categories scrolls.
• Fixed: the numbers on the Welcome page count only the templates, sections and presets you can use (without the locked PRO ones when PRO is not installed).

1.3.1

• New: the template window shows a “Contact support” button when PRO templates cannot be loaded.
• Developers: filter envo_blocks_premium_json to hand over the content of premium templates and blocks.

1.3.0

• New: the template library has the 9 free demo stores of demos.envoblocks.com as templates (Stride, Motion, Flexa, Sprint, Gadgetry, Circuit, Couture, Velvet and Fitora, each with its subpages such as About us, Help and Contact), 83 page sections from them in Blocks (headers, heroes, product grids, banners, footers…) and 58 presets made from the examples of the block demos. The earlier sample templates and sections were removed.
• New: entrance animations for every block (WordPress, WooCommerce and other plugins too) – fade, zoom, slide, bounce, flip, rotate and attention seekers, with speed, delay, items one by one (columns, products, gallery images), every time or only the first time, and devices. In the Animation panel of the block, with a preview in the editor. Respects “reduce motion”; the content stays visible without JavaScript.

1.2.0

• New: Map block – Google Maps or OpenStreetMap as a background with any blocks on top, optional loading after a click.
• New: Video Popup block – a play button or an image that opens a YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion or own video in a pop-up window.
• New: templates with several pages – a page picker with a large preview, a live Preview in a new tab, and required plugins, recommended plugins and a recommended theme with one-click install and activation from WordPress.org.
• New: Online Store template with Home, Sale, About us and FAQ pages.
• New: Blocks library – 14 sections to insert into the page you are editing, with a category sidebar.
• New: Presets library – 15 ready-made settings of the plugin blocks, inserted where you are editing.
• New: without Envo Blocks PRO the library also lists the PRO templates and blocks (preview, PRO label, live demo and a “Buy PRO” button); they can be imported only with PRO and an active license.
• Preview images are WebP for a smaller plugin.
• New: template, block and preset previews load from assets.envoblocks.com (300/600 px, blurred placeholder first, only when scrolled to) and are saved on your site after the first view.
• New: without Envo Blocks PRO or without an active PRO license, the PRO blocks are listed in the “Envo Blocks PRO” section of the block inserter with a lock. Inserted, such a block only shows a placeholder with a link to get Envo Blocks PRO, activate or renew the license, and its live demo; nothing is shown on your site.
• New: choose the page template when importing a template (in the editor and on the Templates Import page); a canvas template (without the theme header and footer) is marked and preselected for templates with their own header and footer.
• New: Envo Blocks > Templates Import page – browse the templates outside the editor; Import asks for a post or page and a title, creates a new draft with the template and opens it in the editor.
• New: Envo Blocks admin menu with a welcome page, the list of blocks with guides and live demos, links to all guides and an overview of Envo Blocks PRO.
• New: products, categories and brands chosen in imported templates and blocks are matched to your store (by slug); when there is no match, the block shows your store’s items automatically. “Export as JSON” saves the slugs with the page.
• New: images of imported templates and blocks are copied into the Media Library (once, reused later), so they are not loaded from the demo server.
• New: Import from file – import a JSON file (Export as JSON) or a ZIP file with the images into the page you are editing, or as a new draft on the Templates Import page. Works also when your server cannot reach our demo site.
• New: Export as ZIP (with images) in the editor’s Options menu.
