Release: 1.3
Bricks 1.3 brings a lot of major new functionality to Bricks. It's probably our most feature-rich release to date.
If you are running Bricks 1.2.3 you should see an update notification in your WordPress dashboard. If you are on a version older than 1.2.3 you first have to manually download version 1.3 from your
Bricks account.
Please note that updating from a version prior to 1.2 you have to
run the migrator in order to convert your existing section, row, column pages to the
new "Container" element structure.
Let's have a look at the highlights of this release ...
WooCommerce Builder (Phase #1)
This release marks the first step to our vision of providing you with a visual WooCommerce builder (right within Bricks). In Bricks 1.3 you can visually create your entire single product page & product listing pages (such as your shop page and shop archive pages like your product categories & tags).
The remaining Woo-related pages (cart, checkout, account, thank you, etc.) will be added in multiple future releases prior to Bricks 1.4.
Accessibility
Better accessibility has long been on our roadmap, and we can finally announce that Bricks 1.3 has received some major a11y upgrade. You can find a lot more details about accessibility in Bricks over at

Custom Attributes
You can now add your own custom attributes to any Bricks element. When editing an element go to "Style > Attributes" to set your custom attributes. The official Academy article with all the details can be found here

Template Shortcodes
We've introduces the "Templates" element in the last release. Having the ability to insert templates via the
bricks_template="ID" shortcode anywhere on your page, give you even greater freedom & possibilities.
Better Builder Preview
To allow for a more real-world preview inside the builder we've updated the device aspect ratios of all mobile breakpoints. Plus, you can now set not only the preview device width, but also height.
