Every way WordPress builds pages

Respira spoke sixteen page builders. As of 8.0 it also speaks WordPress's own Site Editor: block templates, synced patterns, block navigation and design tokens, readable and writable on the same safety contract as everything else. A navigation link changes by exact block path, not by rewriting the menu. A pattern is created, read back through WordPress, render-checked, then placed by reference. Structural edits can wait for your approval, and every write leaves a snapshot, a normalised diff and a server-render result. The WooCommerce add-on goes to 4.0 alongside it, and its storefront tools now try the native block path first, so a shop built in the Site Editor stops being a place where the store tools quietly go dark. Building all of that meant auditing the safety layer itself, which turned up two places where the safety mechanism was the thing doing the damage: a Divi serialiser rule written for brand-new pages was firing on every write path, and undoing a Theme Builder create could trash a template the agent never created. Both fixed, both pinned by permanent tests.

Same Story key visual

The plugin now tells the same story as your dashboard

The setup and connection screens were rebuilt around one source of truth. You link a site once, then watch the moment your first agent reaches it: the screen updates on its own and names what just happened, for example "connected. Claude just ran update_page on page #42". The plugin, the dashboard and your agent now read the same connection state, so they always agree on whether a site is connected and what access it has. One-click installs (the Desktop app, Cursor, Cowork) lead the way in, with browser sign-in still there for ChatGPT and claude.ai. Sites also arrive in the dashboard with their real WordPress title instead of a bare URL, which matters the moment you run more than one. And seven builder fixes land across Bricks, Divi, Elementor 4.x and Gutenberg.

What the agent writes is what actually lands on the page

A deep pass through every supported builder, closing the gaps where a write reported success but the page stayed stale or blank. Styling now lands on Oxygen, Beaver Builder, Elementor v4 Atomic, Bricks, Divi 4 and Divi 5. Brizy and Visual Composer move from read to write, with their caveats stated. Recovery gets deeper: custom CSS and page settings are captured, and globals are versioned, so deleting a Bricks global class, a Divi preset, or an Elementor kit color leaves a recovery point. And when something cannot be persisted in a way the builder reads, Respira says exactly what did not land instead of reporting success. Every fix verified on a real site by loading the actual rendered page.
