Hey everyone,

Another quick round of fixes. We hardened things a little more on the security side, sorted out a Scroll to Top button that wasn’t showing custom icons, and fixed a couple of editor preview quirks so what you see while building matches what your visitors see.

What’s Fixed

• Tighter security in the editor preview. We hardened how widgets render in the Elementor editor preview to close off a potential security gap. Nothing changes in how you build, it’s just safer behind the scenes.
• Custom icons for Scroll to Top show up again. If you picked a custom SVG icon through the Icon media type, the button was coming up empty. Now your icon renders properly, and the Size and Color controls work on it the way you’d expect.
• Flexbox headers and footers look right in the editor. Headers and footers built with the Flexbox container were losing their direction and padding in the Elementor editor preview. They now match the live site, so there’s no guessing while you design.

Hey everyone ,

This one’s all about reliability. We’ve fixed a batch of issues that were tripping up saved templates, forms, and carousels across different setups, from multilingual sites to iOS and caching plugins. We’ve also made sure everything plays nicely with the latest Elementor 4.3.

Let’s get into it.

What’s Improved:

• Full compatibility with Elementor and Elementor Pro 4.3. UAE is tested and ready for the newest Elementor release, so you can update both without second-guessing.

What’s Fixed:

• FAQ styling no longer disappears on refresh. Saved sections, containers, widgets, and full pages using FAQ were sometimes loading unstyled after a page refresh. The styling now holds on every load.
• Gravity Forms Styler works with caching and optimisation plugins again. When a plugin like NitroPack replaced the Gravity Forms output, forms could fail to display and conditional logic broke with a “gform.addAction is not a function” error, because the form scripts weren’t loaded early enough. Fixed, and this now also covers forms in headers, footers, and popups, inside saved templates used by other widgets, and saved as global widgets.
• Multi Buttons “After” icon position works now. Setting the icon to appear after the button text had no effect on the frontend, the icon always landed before the text. It now sits exactly where you place it.
• Saved templates render correctly on multilingual sites. On Polylang and WPML sites, the saved template dropdown in Nav Menu, Modal Popup, and FAQ showed only one template, and saved sections came through empty. Both are fixed.
• Nav Menu dropdown width respects your setting on container headers. “Equal to Section” and “Equal to Container” were falling back to the default 220px on container-based headers built with Header Footer Elementor and other non-Theme-Builder headers. The dropdown now matches the width you chose.
• Woo Categories and Woo Products carousels no longer render blank on iOS. When carousel images were lazy-loaded, for example with an Image Gallery placed above the widget, slides were showing up empty on iOS with no image or title. Squashed.

Upgrade to UAE Pro Version 1.45.5 today to keep everything running smoothly.

Hey everyone 👋

Elementor and Elementor Pro just shipped version 4.3, and we’ve made sure UAE keeps pace. If you’ve updated Elementor, or you’re about to, this release makes sure everything keeps running exactly as it should. Quick one, but worth having.

 What’s Improved

• Fully compatible with Elementor and Elementor Pro 4.3. Updated Elementor recently? UAE keeps working without a hitch. Your headers, footers, and widgets behave just like before, on the newest Elementor.

Hey everyone,

We’re rolling out UAE Pro Version 1.45.4. This one brings a new privacy-friendly option for Business Reviews, plus a handful of fixes that clear up display glitches, a couple of frontend styling issues, and two problems that could actually slow down or break sites in specific setups.

If any of the widgets below are in use on your site, we’d recommend updating when you get a chance.

What’s New:

• Store reviewer images on your own server (Business Reviews). Business Reviews now includes a “Store locally” option that saves reviewer profile images to your own server instead of loading them directly from Google. For EU websites, this keeps your review displays GDPR-friendly, and it means your reviews aren’t dependent on an external source to render.

What’s Fixed:

• Gravity Forms Styler button and size styles now show on the frontend. Button styles and the Size control weren’t being applied on the live site with Gravity Forms 3.0+ when the form used the legacy (2.5) theme. Your styling now carries through exactly as set in the editor.
• Nav Menu flyout toggle icon stays put. The flyout layout toggle icon was disappearing once the menu was opened and wouldn’t come back until the page was reloaded. It now stays visible the whole time.
• Posts and Timeline no longer bog down large sites. The Author filter list was being rebuilt from the database on every single frontend page view, which could trigger long-running MySQL queries and serious slowdowns on sites with big user tables. That heavy lookup is gone, so pages stay fast.
• Video Gallery grid no longer overlaps content on mobile. With filterable tabs turned off, the Grid layout was overlapping whatever sat below it on mobile, including when the gallery was placed inside Tabs, Accordion, or nested containers. Everything lines up correctly now.
• Woo Products no longer throws a fatal error on PHP 8. On PHP 8.0+, setting the Sale Flash to Custom on a variable product that had a variation priced at zero could crash the page with a fatal error. That edge case is handled, so those product pages load fine.

Hey everyone,

This one is small but worth grabbing sooner rather than later. We tightened up two gaps and fixed an editor hiccup that could leave you staring at a
loading screen. Nothing you have to do on your end, just update and you’re covered.

What’s Fixed

• Protected content stays protected. The [hfe_template] shortcode could show templates that were never meant to be public, drafts, scheduled posts, trashed items, or private content, to people who shouldn’t see them. Now the shortcode respects the same viewing rules as the rest of your site, so only the right people see the right content.
• Safer SVG uploads. We removed our own SVG upload handler, which had an outdated cleanup step that could let a malicious SVG slip through and run unwanted scripts. SVG uploads are now handled entirely by Elementor’s own control and sanitisation, closing that door for good.
• The Elementor editor no longer gets stuck loading. Opening the editor inside another editor window, like when you were editing Premium Addons mega menu content, could leave it hanging on the loading screen. It opens cleanly now.

Hey everyone,

This one’s a quick round of fixes for the small stuff that shouldn’t get in your way. A disappearing menu icon, some template settings that wouldn’t stick, and a
sideways scroll on right-to-left sites. All sorted.

What’s Fixed

• Template Type and Display Rules no longer vanish on unsaved templates. Clicking “Edit with Elementor” on a template you hadn’t saved yet was wiping those
  settings. They’re kept safely now, whether you’ve saved or not.

What’s Fixed

• Your Flyout menu toggle icon stays put now. On the Nav Menu widget, the toggle icon was vanishing the moment you opened the menu and wouldn’t come back until you reloaded the page. It stays visible the whole time now.
• No more sideways scroll on right-to-left sites. The hidden skip-to-content link in the default header was pushing content past the edge of the screen on RTL
  layouts. Your pages stay neatly inside the viewport now.

Hey everyone,

We’re rolling out UAE Pro Version 1.45.3, and this one keeps things tidy on two fronts, one branding update and one important security fix. While we’ve seen no evidence of the vulnerability being exploited, it’s the kind of fix worth applying right away.

If you use UAE Pro anywhere on your site, we’d recommend updating as soon as you can.

What’s Improved:

• Patched a security vulnerability in UAE Pro. We identified and fixed a security issue in the plugin, and that path is now fully secured, so your site stays safe for you and your visitors. Big thanks to Nguyen Ba Khanh from Patchstack for responsibly disclosing this to our team.
• Renamed the Twitter Feed widget to X Feed. We’ve updated the widget name and refreshed the Twitter branding to X across the Integrations settings, so what you see in UAE now matches the platform. Your existing feeds keep working exactly as before, nothing to reconfigure.

We’re rolling out UAE Pro version 1.45.2 with new responsive styling controls for the Cloudflare Turnstile on your Login and Registration forms, a lighter admin
experience built for React 19, and a set of fixes that includes security hardening.

What’s New:

• Responsive Turnstile Styling for Login & Registration Forms – The Cloudflare Turnstile widget now has its own Size (Normal, Flexible, or Compact), Alignment, and Bottom Spacing controls, and they’re fully responsive. You can style the widget independently for desktop, tablet, and mobile, so it fits neatly on every screen without any custom CSS.

What’s Improved:

• Lighter Admin & React 19 Compatibility – We replaced the bundled React runtime with the one WordPress already provides. This reduces the admin script size and makes UAE Pro compatible with React 19, keeping the dashboard fast and future-ready.

What’s Fixed:

• Login Form & Registration Form – Turnstile Missing in the Editor – Fixed an issue where the Cloudflare Turnstile did not appear in the Elementor editor preview, so you can now see and configure it while building your forms.
• Modal Popup – Video Thumbnail Security Hardening – Hardened the video popup against a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) issue when rendering video thumbnails.
• Nav Menu – Mobile Toggle Icon Security Fix – Patched a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the mobile toggle icons.
• Multiple Widgets – Empty Icon Elements – Resolved an issue where an empty icon element was rendered when no icon was selected, which caused alignment issues and inconsistencies in the Elementor editor preview.
• Posts – Infinite Scroll Stopping Early – Fixed an issue where Infinite Scroll stopped loading early when multiple Posts widgets were placed on the same page, as they shared a single pagination counter. Each widget now tracks its own pagination.

Upgrading to UAE Pro version 1.45.2 gives you per-device control over the Cloudflare Turnstile, a lighter and more future-ready admin, and a batch of stability and
security fixes. Because this release includes security hardening, we recommend updating as soon as you can.
