Loop Grid Filter Suite for Elementor

Changelog

1.24.0

• Added a dedicated bilingual Loop Grid Filters dashboard in WordPress admin with plugin details, contacts, support links, and concise descriptions of every widget.
• Added an interactive local demo for search, taxonomy, price, counter, clear, empty-state, and popup behavior without sending external requests.
• Added a one-time welcome redirect to the demo dashboard after the first manual activation.
• Removed Elementor’s Edit with AI button only from this plugin’s widget panels.
• Extended the bundled Russian translation and POT catalog for the new dashboard and demos.
• Hardened AJAX price sanitization and documented the cached WooCommerce catalog-bound queries for WordPress coding standards.
• Replaced the discouraged translation loader while preserving the bundled Russian catalog as a fallback for local installations.

1.23.0

• Added a complete bundled Russian translation for Elementor controls, widget labels, frontend messages, accessibility text, AJAX statuses, errors, and plugin metadata.
• Added a WordPress.org-ready POT template and editable ru_RU PO catalog.
• Added localized JavaScript fallback messages so error and status text follows the current WordPress locale.
• Kept English as the source and default language; Russian loads automatically for Russian-language sites.

1.22.4

• Added responsive nothing-found messages to the taxonomy and WooCommerce price widgets.
• Routed an empty-result message to the widget that initiated the latest search, taxonomy, or price request instead of always showing it below Live Search.
• Suppressed Elementor’s duplicate native empty message after AJAX updates.
• Added proportional slider space derived from handle size and Hover/Focus scale so enlarged price handles are not clipped.

1.22.3

• Prevented global theme input styles from adding a white border, outline, or shadow to price handles during hover, focus, and active states.
• Replaced the fixed close-value threshold with real tooltip-width collision detection, so price labels separate only when they would actually overlap.

1.22.2

• Prevented themes and Elementor styles from adding horizontal padding to the native price range inputs.
• Anchored the visual track endpoints to the exact centers of the minimum and maximum handles.
• Calculated following price-label positions from the rendered track itself so labels remain centered over their handles at every size.

1.22.1

• Aligned the inactive and selected price tracks on one shared center line.
• Kept handles vertically centered for every responsive handle size.
• Matched the track endpoints to the exact centers of the minimum and maximum handles.

• Kept following price labels aligned with the real native handle positions.

1.22.0

• Added responsive track, fill, handle, tooltip, hover, focus, sizing, spacing, typography, color, border, and smooth follow-animation controls.
• Integrated price filtering with live search, taxonomy filters, pagination, duplicate widgets, result counters, response caching, and the global Clear Filters widget.
• Kept the complete core suite available when WooCommerce is not installed or active.

1.21.0

• Added Single and Multiple selection modes to the Loop Grid Taxonomy Filter widget.
• Multiple mode combines selected terms from one taxonomy with OR while separate taxonomy widgets continue to combine with AND.
• Added multi-term URL persistence, duplicate-filter synchronization, prefetching, deselection, All-item reset, and clear-widget compatibility.
• Preserved the existing Single mode as the default for full backward compatibility.

1.20.1

• Added accessible reset status announcements and support for filters that do not display an All item.

1.19.10

• Added a shared in-memory response cache so duplicate search and taxonomy widgets reuse identical Loop Grid results immediately.

1.19.9

• Changed every user-facing animation duration control from milliseconds to responsive decimal seconds.

• Clipped popup transform overflow while preserving panel content scrolling, preventing temporary scrollbars and layout jumps.

1.19.8

• Replayed the selected popup animation immediately inside Elementor whenever its type, duration, or easing changes.
• Reset Editor Popup Preview to Closed whenever the Elementor editor is loaded or refreshed.
• Added an invisible reset frame so every editor replay starts from the full selected motion instead of a shortened reverse transition.

1.19.7

• Added responsive popup animations: None, Fade, four directional slides, Soft Zoom, Float Up, and Blur Fade.
• Added responsive animation duration and easing controls, including Smooth, Snappy, and Soft Bounce motion curves.
• Added matching close animations while keeping modal scroll locking active until the panel is fully hidden.

1.19.6

• Added responsive popup border type and border width controls, including a border-free option.

• Updated Elementor editor templates to preview the selected trigger and close icons immediately.

1.19.3

• Fixed custom Font Awesome colors and responsive sizing for the popup trigger and close icons.
• Isolated the close button from theme button padding, border, sizing, and SVG fill overrides.
• Replaced viewport-fixed placement with a sticky trigger that follows scrolling only inside its Elementor parent container.
• Added an editor-only Open/Closed popup preview so the trigger and nested popup content can be edited separately.

1.19.2

• Registered the popup with Elementor’s NestedElementBase editor model so nested containers are created, duplicated, displayed in Navigator, and accept arbitrary widgets.
• Added compatibility with Elementor optimized markup while retaining the standard widget wrapper when required.

1.19.1

• Replaced removed Elementor Eicons with stable CSS-drawn Show, Hide, Static, and Fixed control icons.
