New in Stackable: Icon Library & Granular Plugin Settings

We’re thrilled to announce the latest Stackable update, bringing you two powerful features that enhance customization and usability: the Icon Library and Granular Plugin Settings.

Let’s dive into what’s new and how these updates can elevate your web design experience.

Icon Library: Save, Reuse, and Customize Your Icons

Icons play a vital role in making your designs visually appealing and user-friendly. With the new Icon Library, managing your custom icons has never been easier.

Here’s what you can do with the Icon Library:

Save Uploaded SVGs: Once you upload your SVG icons, you can save them to the Icon Library for future reuse.

Streamlined Icon Picker: Saved icons will appear first in the icon picker, making them easy to find.

Rename and Update Icons: Assign custom names to your icons, update them with new files, and keep everything organized.

Search by Name: Quickly locate specific icons in the picker by searching for their assigned names.

This feature is perfect for maintaining branding consistency across your projects, saving time and effort in the process. You will find the Icon Library in the Stackable settings in the Block Editor.

Granular Plugin Settings: Full Control, Your Way

We’ve completely overhauled the Settings menu to give you more flexibility and control over how Stackable works. Say goodbye to the old cluttered settings page! With the new tabbed and organized settings, you can now navigate and customize your experience using Stackable with ease.

Right off the bat, when you access the Stackable settings page, you will see that it is now divided into these tabs: Editor Settings, Responsiveness, Blocks, Optimization, Global Settings, Role Manager, Custom Fields, Integration, Miscellaneous

Each tab focuses on specific features, making it easier to find what you’re looking for.

New and Improved Settings

With the new interface comes a new range of updated settings that allow you to fully customize your user experience with Stackable.

Toolbar Settings

Now you can customize the various toolbar buttons that come with Stackable. This is especially helpful if you find that you do not use some of the Stackable toolbar buttons, you can enable or disable buttons that Stackable adds to the toolbar, tailoring the editor interface to your workflow and keeping it as streamlined as you prefer.

Enable/Disable/Hide Blocks

Previously, you could only enable or disable blocks. Now, you can enable, hide or disable blocks completely.

Here’s what each block state does:

  • Enabled – The block is available in the Block Editor as it would normally.
  • Hidden – The block is hidden from the block inserter. However, if you have this block already in the page, then you can still edit / use it.
  • Disabled – The block is not registered in the Block Editor. If you have this block in a page, and edit it, it will show up as an “unsupported” block.

We have “Smart Disabling” built-in our blocks, this means that when you use designs from our Design Library or block variations that use a disabled block, they are automatically substituted with relevant core blocks. This way, disabling a block will still let you use other Stackable features.

Some Stackable blocks need to use other blocks for them to work correctly. For example, the Accordion block uses the Icon Block for it’s toggle arrow (well it does some other things more behind the scenes) – so when you disable the Icon Block, the Accordion block would not function correctly anymore. In essence, the Accordion block requires the Icon block to be enabled, and the new settings inform you of this.

Search Settings

Navigating the settings just got simpler! Use the new search bar to quickly locate a setting. The relevant tab will highlight and other unrelated options will become hidden, guiding you directly to the option you’re looking for!

Turn Off Stackable Settings

For users who do not use global settings or prefer minimizing their editor interface, you can now turn off Stackable settings entirely. However, please note that turning this off will disable access to the global settings, so you won’t be able to make changes to them while this option is enabled.

Why These Updates Matter

These new features are designed to give you greater control, efficiency, and customization. Whether you’re building a personal project or managing a large-scale site, the updates ensure that Stackable adapts to your workflow and preferences.

The Icon Library streamlines the creative process, while the Granular Plugin Settings give you full control and flexibility when it comes to managing plugin functionality.
