Fixes & Improvements in Existing Elements
Bricks Ultra version 1.8 brings important updates to improve performance and user experience. This update includes bug fixes, better functionality, and smoother performance to make building websites easier and more efficient. Let’s explore the key improvements in this release!
New Features in Woo Products Element
Bricks Ultra version 1.8 introduces two exciting new features for Woo Products:
- Low Stock Badge – Now, you can display a badge on products that are running low on stock. Customize the badge with your own text or use the {{stock_left}} shortcode to show the exact stock count, like “Only {{stock_left}} items left.” This helps create urgency and encourages customers to buy before the stock runs out.
- Infinite Scroll – We’ve added an infinite scroll feature to enhance product browsing. Products will load automatically instead of loading pages manually as customers scroll down. You can customize the loader animation and end message or add a “Load More” button with different styling options for a smoother shopping experience.
Improved Woo Product Badges Element
In Bricks Ultra 1.8, we’ve enhanced the Woo Product Badges element by adding a new Stock Status badge. Now, you can easily display a badge on products that are in stock, out of stock, or on backorder.
You can also customize the badge labels for each stock status and style them to match your store’s design. This update makes it easier for customers to see product availability at a glance!
