Launch candidate
Editly 1.0.0
Initial public-release scope
Version 1.0.0 establishes the complete client-safe editing workflow: supported Elementor text becomes editable in wp-admin while the builder remains outside the routine client path.
Focused content editor
- Page list and search for Elementor-built content in draft, private, and published statuses.
- Editing of supported text, textarea, WYSIWYG, and number controls from wp-admin.
- Progressive page loading for a faster working list.
- Conflict detection when stored content changed after the editing session began.
Safety and access
- Role-based access to the Editly editing surface.
- Optional Use Editly as their only Elementor editor setting for selected non-administrator roles in Free and Pro.
- Dynamic integration with Elementor’s native role-access mechanism without overwriting saved Role Manager settings.
- Administrator safeguard: full Elementor access is always retained, including for accounts with multiple roles.
- Simplified settings wording and removal of the redundant single-tab navigation in Free.
- Optional percentage-based input growth guard.
- Layout, spacing, style, and responsive controls kept outside Editly.
- Per-page WordPress capability checks, REST nonces, and server-side sanitization on save.
Pro agency layer
- Supported third-party widget controls through the registered Elementor control schema, including supported repeater fields.
- Rendered-content visibility matching to keep technical and hidden values out of the routine editing surface.
- White-label menu name, header baseline, logo, and primary accent controls for client handovers.
- Optional change history with user, time, page, field, before/after excerpts, CSV export, and configurable retention.
- Incremental indexed listing and batched rebuilds for larger Elementor sites.
Data and lifecycle
- Content and settings stored in the site's WordPress database.
- Free keeps persistent settings by default; Pro exposes an administrator-controlled uninstall cleanup setting.
- Runtime cache and scheduled-hook cleanup paths for both packages.
- Free-to-Pro replacement flow with settings continuity and collision prevention.
Localization and requirements
- English source interface plus German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, and European Portuguese packs.
- Localized PHP and JavaScript interface strings in Free and Pro.
- Requires WordPress 6.0+, PHP 7.4+, and Elementor 3.0+.
