Changelog of
Neuron Builder

1.2.0.1 – 03/12/2025

Fixes

• Fixed JavaScript error “Failed to execute ‘observe’ on ‘IntersectionObserver’: parameter 1 is not of type ‘Element'” by adding null checks before calling observer.observe() across all frontend modules (animations, gallery, posts, nav-menu, interactive-posts, animated-heading, and motion-fx).
• Fixed JavaScript error “Failed to execute ‘unobserve’ on ‘IntersectionObserver’: parameter 1 is not of type ‘Element'” in motion-fx base by adding element validation.
• Fixed JavaScript error “Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘getBoundingClientRect’)” in motion-fx scroll handler by adding element validation.
• Fixed JavaScript error “Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘style’)” in motion-fx actions by adding element validation before setting CSS properties.
• Added Motion Effects support for Elementor Containers, enabling scrolling effects, mouse effects, and background motion effects on the new Container element.

1.2.0.0 – 21/11/2025

Critical Updates

• Fixed Display Conditions button not appearing in Elementor’s new top bar (3.16+). Migrated from legacy API to new React-based system. Display Conditions now properly appears in the Publish dropdown menu with the hierarchy icon, ensuring theme builder templates can be configured without accessing the publish modal.
• Fixed Demo Importer plugin installation workflow with complete UI/UX overhaul. Completely rewrote the plugin installation and demo import experience with a modern popup interface that displays required plugins with real-time status updates and individual install/activate buttons. Added “Install & Activate All” bulk action button for streamlined plugin setup that processes all plugins sequentially with visual feedback. Implemented smooth progress tracking system with fixed percentage milestones that displays clearly at each import stage without jumping backwards. Enhanced user experience with clear visual indicators throughout the entire import process, including step-by-step progress display. Progress popup now always displays during import regardless of whether plugins require installation, ensuring consistent user feedback and preventing confusion about import status.

Fixes

• Resolved an issue where product labels were not displaying correctly in WooCommerce Archives.
• Addressed a bug that caused active Elementor Pro widgets to erroneously appear disabled in the editor panel.
• Fixed “Show More” pagination in Posts widget to correctly handle exclude parameter as array from AJAX requests, preventing duplicate posts from loading.
• Fixed License page disappearing when Envato Market plugin is activated by showing a message page that directs users to the Envato Market page.
• Resolved Google Maps API console warnings by adding loading=async parameter and migrating from deprecated google.maps.Marker to google.maps.marker.AdvancedMarkerElement with backward compatibility fallback.
• Updated Google Maps to prioritize Advanced Markers when Map ID is available, with automatic fallback to legacy markers only when Advanced Markers are unavailable or Map ID is missing. Added helpful console warnings to guide users to add Map ID for Advanced Markers support.
• Fixed Google Maps custom styles conflict with Map ID by conditionally applying custom styles only when Map ID is not present, following Google Maps API requirements that styles must be configured via Cloud Console when Map ID is used.

Performance

• Optimized file system operations by implementing transient caching for glob() calls in responsive templates and controls registration, reducing server load and improving page load times.
• Optimized database queries by implementing static variable caching for repeated get_option() calls, eliminating duplicate option retrievals and reducing function call overhead.
• Optimized widget type retrieval by checking individual widgets instead of retrieving all registered widgets, reducing memory usage and processing overhead when unregistering Elementor Pro promotion widgets.
• Optimized autoloader by implementing class file path caching to avoid repeated regex operations and using require_once for better error handling.
• Optimized module loading by implementing static class name mapping, eliminating repeated string operations during plugin initialization.
• Optimized database writes in theme switch handler by only updating options when values actually change, reducing unnecessary database operations.
• Optimized query control performance by implementing transient caching for WP_Query results, reducing duplicate database queries when multiple widgets use the same query parameters. Cache automatically invalidates when posts are saved, deleted, or their status changes, ensuring data freshness while significantly improving page load times.
• Optimized widget settings retrieval by implementing instance-level caching in Base_Widget class, reducing function call overhead for repeated get_settings() and get_settings_for_display() calls within the same widget render cycle. Works transparently with all existing widgets.

Code Quality

• Fixed code style inconsistencies to align with PHP PSR coding standards and WordPress conventions.
• Improved translation support by replacing string concatenation with sprintf() in portfolio post type functions, making strings fully translatable.
• Improved hook registration organization by extracting conditional hooks into a separate method, enhancing code maintainability and following Elementor’s coding patterns.
• Added comprehensive PHPDoc blocks to all public methods with proper parameter and return type documentation.
• Enhanced error handling with try-catch blocks for critical operations including remote requests, database operations, and AJAX handlers.
• Improved error logging with conditional debug logging for better troubleshooting in development environments.
• Fixed PHP 8.1+ deprecation warnings in Envato Market Items class by ensuring array_unique() is only called on valid arrays and correcting property assignment in process_plugins() method.

Security

• Fixed Google Maps security vulnerability by replacing eval() with JSON.parse() for custom style parsing, preventing XSS attacks and arbitrary code execution.
• Fixed security vulnerability in Posts widget by sanitizing and validating all $_GET parameters in show_more_pagination() method, preventing SQL injection and XSS attacks. Added taxonomy and term validation following WordPress and Elementor security standards.
• Fixed security vulnerability in Request Parameter dynamic tag by sanitizing and validating all $_POST and $_GET parameters before output, preventing XSS attacks. Added parameter name sanitization and proper handling of array values following WordPress and Elementor security standards.
• Fixed security vulnerability in Query Control by adding sanitization and capability check for post_id parameter in AJAX requests, preventing information disclosure of posts users don’t have permission to view.
• Added nonce verification and capability checks to AJAX handlers to prevent unauthorized access and CSRF attacks.
• Enhanced security in preset module by adding nonce verification and capability checks for element preset requests.
• Improved input validation and sanitization across all AJAX handlers (forms, WooCommerce, presets).
