What shipped

Element-Level Editing

7 new tools — find_element, update_element, move_element, duplicate_element, remove_element, batch_update, reorder_elements. Target individual widgets by ID, type, CSS class, or content. Works across all 11 builders.

HTML-to-Builder Conversion

convert_html_to_builder — converts HTML/CSS prototypes into native page builder content with CSS extraction, section mapping, style translation, and fidelity scoring. Supports Elementor, Divi 5, Beaver Builder, Gutenberg, and all other builders via fallback. Never returns empty pages.

Build Full Pages

build_page — create a complete page from a declarative structure in one API call. Returns page ID, edit URL, and preview URL. Builder auto-detection picks the right format.

Stock Images via Openverse

search_stock_images and sideload_image — search millions of CC-licensed images, sideload into Media Library with automatic attribution captions. SSRF-protected with domain allowlist.

27 Widget Shortcuts

add_heading, add_button, add_image, and 24 more — one-liner convenience tools for the most common widget types. Data-driven registry with a single dispatch endpoint.

Tool Governance + API Key Access Profiles

Control which tools AI agents can access from wp-admin. Per-category and per-tool toggles. API keys with scoped permissions — Full Access, Read Only, Content Editor, or Builder. Two-layer security: governance (site-wide) + access profiles (per-key).

Elementor Dynamic Schemas + Divi 5 Intelligence

Elementor: reads the control registry at runtime, generates JSON Schemas for every widget, validates settings with “did you mean?” suggestions. Divi 5: 40+ module definitions, 7 page patterns, flex fraction system, design tokens, 13-point payload validation.

Bulk Page Operations

bulk_pages_operation — apply changes across up to 100 pages in a single call. Built-in ops: strip inline styles, find and replace, custom. Rate-limited, mandatory snapshots, concurrent execution lock.

Thank you

This release was shaped by the early adopters whose reports, patience, and challenges pushed Elemental far beyond what we originally planned:

Update from wp-admin → Plugins → Update, or download from your dashboard.
