## Description

Sage Page Builder provides a visual editor for WordPress pages with 14 essential
widgets: Heading, Text, Button, Image, Gallery, Divider, Spacer, Columns, Grid, 
Video, Audio, Icon Box, Icon List, and Social Icons.

The Free edition does not permit creating Pro-only widgets. Compatibility with previously
saved layouts is maintained where supported.

### Release notes

Version 0.4.33 updates documentation and version identifiers only; the runtime program
and assets are otherwise unchanged from 0.4.32. Free 0.4.32 was tested on a new 
local WordPress 7.1.4 installation with PHP 8.2.29, WP_DEBUG enabled, and no Pro
add-on. The user supplied Plugin Check 2.1.0 results without findings and confirmed
that template names and content retained backslashes, quotes and accented text after
saving, deleting another model, inserting the saved model and reopening the page.
Earlier local tests covered layout export/import, history restoration and responsive
editor previews. These are bounded test results, not exhaustive compatibility or
security certification.

Isolated checks cover Free on PHP 8.2.29 and Free with the separate Pro 0.2.6-alpha
bridge on PHP 8.4.4. The Pro add-on declares PHP 8.4 minimum; its PHP 8.2 compatibility
is not claimed. No layout migrations or Pro integration hook changes are included
in this release.

History normally retains the latest 20 snapshots. Malformed history, ambiguous duplicate
rows or failed metadata deletions may retain additional snapshots to avoid unintended
backup loss.

This is a pre-submission candidate, not approved for WordPress.org. Current validation
evidence supersedes historical testing statements for earlier candidates. Plugin
Check results do not guarantee WordPress.org acceptance; manual code review and 
name/ownership checks remain separate.

### External services and privacy

No Sage account, license key or remote activation service is required to use the
Free widgets. The plugin does not include a telemetry client. The editor and its
JavaScript/CSS assets are distributed with the plugin.

The Video widget can display an external player when a page author explicitly supplies
a supported provider URL. The visitor’s browser then requests that provider’s player
and media; the provider receives the connection information needed for those requests,
and may use cookies or other technologies according to its own policies. This plugin
does not provide a visitor consent-management system or guarantee that the external
player is cookie-free. Site owners should review the provider policies before embedding
content.

Supported external video providers:
 * YouTube, including the youtube-nocookie.com
player option: https://www.youtube.com/static?template=terms ; privacy: https://
policies.google.com/privacy * Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/terms ; privacy: https://
vimeo.com/privacy * Dailymotion: https://legal.dailymotion.com/en/terms-of-use/ ;
privacy: https://legal.dailymotion.com/en/privacy-policy/ * VideoPress (Automattic):
https://wordpress.com/tos/ ; privacy: https://automattic.com/privacy/

Self-hosted video/audio use the media URL configured by the page author. Images,
galleries, poster images, caption files and other configured remote media URLs are
requested by the visitor’s browser from their respective hosts. Social widgets render
author-configured links; following a link opens the destination service. None of
these URLs are used to unlock local Free functionality.

### Source code

PHP sources: sage-page-builder.php. JavaScript source files: assets/_.js; expanded,
editable reference copies: source/editor.js and source/i18n.js. CSS sources: assets/_.
css. No webpack, npm, compilation or bundling step is used to create these assets.
The human-readable source/editor.js and source/i18n.js are also used verbatim as
assets/editor.js and assets/i18n.js in the runtime.

Source maintenance: edit the JavaScript files directly. When editing source/editor.
js or source/i18n.js, copy the edited file verbatim into assets/ with the same filename.
No build step is required. Prettier 3.6.2 was used only for development-time formatting
of the 0.4.30 JavaScript sources; it is not a plugin dependency. See source/README.
txt for details.

### Review notes

This is a testing build, not approved for WordPress.org. The Free editor exposes
14 Free widget types. Layouts originally saved with other types are preserved for
compatibility, and rendering of such types is delegated via a filter to a separately
distributed Pro extension, if installed. The Free package does not include Pro widget
renderers. Static syntax checks and Plugin Check results do not replace a complete
WordPress.org code review, dynamic security testing, or a decision on the proposed
name.

Legacy compatibility CSS and interface translation strings may refer to widget names
from older layouts. They do not provide premium widget renderers, license checks,
or an unlock mechanism. Scripts and styles are loaded through the WordPress enqueue
APIs. Per-layout style attributes remain dynamic renderer output; there are no PHP-
emitted script or style elements.

The declared GPLv2-or-later license applies to the distributed plugin sources and
assets. No third-party JavaScript library, bundled font or image binary is included
in this package; WordPress libraries are loaded through WordPress APIs. This declaration
does not establish ownership of the proposed plugin name or of media supplied by
site authors.

## FAQ

### Are saved page layouts preserved when upgrading?

Existing storage formats are retained. Back up your site and verify all layouts 
after updating.

### Can I embed a Sage page in Elementor?

Add an Elementor Shortcode widget containing [sage_page id=”123″], replacing 123
with the ID of a page saved in Sage. The shortcode renders that page’s stored Sage
layout, not its theme header, footer or other editor content. Updating the source
Sage layout updates its embeds.

Published, publicly viewable pages can be embedded for visitors. Draft, pending,
scheduled and private pages require permission to edit the source page; visitors
receive no output. Password-protected pages require their password to have been 
entered. Missing IDs, invalid IDs, non-page posts and pages without a Sage layout
produce no output.

Recursive rendering is stopped, including cycles through Pro rendering hooks, with
a maximum of ten nested Sage pages. Existing Pro content still requires the separate
compatible Pro add-on. The shortcode does not convert Elementor pages into Sage 
layouts.

### Where is the collapsible sidebar?

In the Sage editor, select Sidebar Recolhível under Estrutura. It is fully functional
in Free in addition to the original 14 widgets. Configure title, description, links(
one per line: Label | /path/), side and width in Content. Set background, title,
description, link/hover, border and button/icon colors in Style. The preview responds
while choosing a color; save in Sage Builder before checking the published page.
The button appears on the published page; the editor shows a static preview.

For site-wide display, set Onde exibir to Em todo o site, save the source through
Salvar no Sage Builder as an administrator, and publish it without a password. Only
one global drawer is active. Draft, private, trashed and password-protected source
pages are never used for site-wide output. Imports, restores and old global options
do not activate a new global drawer automatically. Disable it by switching its source
widget back to page scope and saving as administrator.

The recovered drawer uses the original sidebar_drawer field names. Existing opaque
Pro widgets remain delegated to the separate Pro add-on. The editor-panel collapse
button introduced in the locally recovered 0.4.35 test package remains separate 
from the public menu drawer.

### Can I use a card-style menu with a header image?

Select Sidebar Recolhível and choose Premium under Modelo visual. Classic sidebars
remain unchanged until you select the new model. Premium is the visual style name,
not a paid tier. The design is generic and fully functional in Free, with optional
header/background/logo/footer images from the WordPress media library, a configurable
overlay, subtitle/divider, original built-in SVG icons, card colors, radius, padding,
spacing and shadow. No icon fonts or external libraries are loaded. Images are not
bundled; choose media you may use. A built-in decorative wave is used when no footer
image is selected.

Links retain the format Label | /path/. Choose icons per row in Content; their names
are stored separately, without changing the link text or URL. Published and global
rendering share the same markup and security checks. The page shortcode and all 
existing Free/Pro hooks remain available.

   14 widgets.
