This release introduces revamped and enhanced WPML integration in LayerSlider to support the latest WPML features.
WPML String Package Support:
Allows you to organize translatable content into individual packages per project for easier management.
These packages can be assigned to translators through WPML's Translation Management and will appear in the Translation Queue.
Enables the use of WPML's AI translation features and the "Translate Everything Automatically" mode.
Added an "Auto Translation Cleanup" option under LayerSlider Plugin Settings → Integration. Enabled by default, this setting automatically removes translations for deleted layers or other unused elements. Consider turning off this option if you wish to retain unused translations to potentially revert to previous project versions.
These enhancements apply only to newly created or imported projects. Your previous translations remain accessible through WPML's String Translation menu, exactly where they were originally located.
Improved Descriptive Naming:
Translation strings now have highly descriptive names, significantly improving clarity and ease of identification. This feature is fully compatible with WPML's Classic Translation Editor, and upcoming WPML updates (version 4.7.2) will extend support to the Advanced Translation Editor as well.
Translation Reminder:
A reminder prompt was added upon publishing a project to ensure all content is fully translated and nothing is overlooked. The reminder includes a button directing users immediately to the appropriate translation page when using WPML or PolyLang.
Additional:
The "Smart Help" + icon at the end of input fields was changed to the ⋮ (vertical ellipsis) symbol.
Other bug fixes and under-the-hood improvements.
Introduced a new "Fix 3rd Party Optimizer Issues" option in Plugin Settings to address common compatibility issues with caching and optimization plugins.
Enhanced the Counter and Countdown widgets by making the "Text Before" and "Text After" options translatable. These options now also support shortcode parsing for dynamic data integration.
Bring your numbers to life with the new Counter Add-On. Whether tracking progress, highlighting statistics, or counting down to key events, this feature adds dynamic animation that’s sure to capture your visitors’ attention. Effortlessly customize the design and watch your numbers stand out in style.
Other changes:
Resolved a rare Google Fonts loading issue when using undo/redo in the editor.
Corrected a slight misalignment in layer selection outlines in rare cases.
Enhanced support for the <picture> element.
Introducing the Maintenance & Coming Soon Add-On: Don’t let maintenance work or site launches be a roadblock for your visitors. Our Maintenance & Coming Soon add-on allows you to turn those static, inactive pages into engaging and informative experiences. Keep your audience excited while your site gets ready behind the scenes.
Other changes:
- The use of rounded corners, set under Project Settings → Appearance, is now visually represented within the Project Editor without entering a preview mode.
- The transformation options under Layers → Style allow using random values like those under the Transition menu.
- On the LayerSlider dashboard, the ‘NEW’ badge on the Add-Ons & Premium button will be cleared once the modal window is opened and will reappear only when new updates or changes are introduced.
- Various under-the-hood bug fixes.
- Fixed a rare issue that might have affected inserting images from the Media Library on certain sites.
- Automatic layer naming now uses title case.
This release contains security fixes.
Text stroke feature was added for richer layer styling options.
Toolbars were added to multiple sections in the project editor for easy copy, paste, and clear actions.

Pasting is now smarter and might not override certain options depending on context.
