    Improved
    • Tested compatibility with Elementor 4.4.0
    • Accessibility - All widgets now show the same keyboard focus indicator, a blue outline with a white halo that stays visible on light, dark and image backgrounds. It only appears for keyboard focus, not mouse clicks, and can be restyled for every widget at once with the --pp-focus-color and --pp-focus-width CSS variables
    • Accessibility - Pagination dots in PowerPack carousels now have a 24px click and touch area, without changing their visible size
    • Accessibility - Links set to open in a new tab now tell screen reader users so in How To, Info Box, Info List, Info Table, Link Effects and Login Form
    • How To - Supplies, Tools and Steps are now announced as lists, each step is numbered for screen readers, the total time and cost are labelled, images fall back to the step or guide title for their alt text, and the image lightbox link has an accessible name
    • Icon List, Info List - The items are now announced as a list and decorative icons are hidden from screen readers
    • Info Box - With Link Type set to Icon, the icon link is now named after the heading instead of being an empty link
    • Link Effects - Screen readers now read the link text once instead of twice, and the effects no longer animate when the visitor has asked for reduced motion
    • Login Form - Fields are marked as required, errors are announced and focus moves to the field that needs fixing, success messages are announced, the Show Password button reports whether the password is shown, and the Facebook button now works with Enter and Space
    • Ninja Forms - Added Title HTML Tag option. Errors are now announced and focus moves to the first invalid field, the confirmation message is announced and receives focus, and with Labels turned off the field labels stay available to screen readers
    • One Page Navigation - Added Navigation Label option. The widget is now a navigation landmark, each dot is named after its section, the current section is announced, tooltips also show on keyboard focus, and keyboard focus moves to the section after a jump
    • Table of Contents - The widget is now a navigation landmark, the current entry is announced, Scroll to Top can be reached and used with the keyboard, and keyboard focus moves to the heading after following a link
    • Video - Added Accessible Label option, used to name the play button and the embedded player for screen readers
    • Advanced Tabs - The Left/Right and Up/Down arrow keys now both move between tabs whatever the tab layout, and Left/Right follow the reading direction on RTL sites

    • Offcanvas Content - A trigger chosen by Element ID or Element Class now gets a visible keyboard focus indicator
    • Video, Image Gallery, Album, Image Slider - After the Elementor lightbox is closed, keyboard focus now returns to the item that opened it
    • Charts - The chart is no longer an empty keyboard tab stop. Screen readers still read its label and data table in reading order
    Fixed
    • Link Effects - With no link URL set, the widget was a keyboard tab stop that did nothing
    • Modal Popup - Pressing Tab right after the popup opened moved focus to the page behind it
    • Album - With Keyboard Navigation turned off, pressing Esc in the lightbox caused a JavaScript error
    • Image Slider - After closing the lightbox, keyboard focus was lost instead of returning to the slider
    • Slide Menu - Closing a submenu returned focus to the arrow even when the submenu was opened from its link, and in the accordion layout closing with Esc lost keyboard focus
    • FAQ - In the Grid layout, each question was a keyboard tab stop that did nothing
    • Advanced Posts - The filters and the search form showed no keyboard focus indicator
    • Advanced Menu - The menu toggle showed no keyboard focus indicator
    • The focus outline PowerPack draws on carousel pagination dots was also applied to other carousels on the page

    • Table of Contents - With Minimized On set to Desktop, screen readers announced the list as expanded on first load

  3. 3.1.2

    3 improvements11 fixes2 security3 changes
    Improved
    • Business Reviews - Google reviews now work with API keys from Google Cloud projects that only have Places API (New) enabled. Google no longer lets new projects enable the older Places API, so these keys showed no reviews
    • Business Reviews - Google reviews are now requested without the place details the widget does not use, which lowers the cost of each request on the Google Cloud bill
    • Advanced Tabs, Coupons, Event Calendar, FAQ and Interactive Circle - Added Menu Order and Relevance to the Order By options of the posts source
    Fixed
    • Business Reviews - With Filter By set to Review Date, the widget showed the five most relevant Google reviews sorted by date instead of the five newest. API keys that only have Places API (New) enabled still get the five most relevant, as that API cannot return the newest
    • Business Reviews - Errors from Google, such as an invalid Place ID, are now shown in the editor instead of an empty widget
    • Business Reviews - With Reviews Source set to All, a PHP fatal error occurred when the Google or Yelp reviews could not be loaded

    • Advanced Posts, Card Slider, Content Ticker, Magazine Slider, Marquee, Showcase, Tiled Posts and Timeline - Avoid Duplicates only left out posts already shown by these widgets; it now also leaves out posts shown by Advanced Tabs, Coupons, Event Calendar, FAQ, Interactive Circle, Marquee and Showcase higher up the page
    • Advanced Tabs, Coupons, Marquee and Showcase - Query ID had no effect on the posts shown, so the powerpack/query/{query_id} hook could not change them
    • Advanced Tabs, Event Calendar, FAQ and Interactive Circle - With Post Type set to Media, the posts source showed nothing
    • Event Calendar - With Exclude Current Post enabled, the posts chosen to exclude were still shown
    • Interactive Circle - Dynamic tags in the circle items were ignored and the static text was shown instead
    • Info Box - Icon Rotate set before version 2.13.0 was no longer applied
    • Info Box - Inline HTML such as in the icon Text and Button Text was rendered as escaped text instead of being parsed
    Security
    • Security Fix: Info Box Carousel - The item image URL is now escaped in the editor preview
    • Security Fix: Posts, Marquee, Coupons, Showcase, Woo Products, Advanced Tabs, FAQ, Event Calendar and Interactive Circle - The author and post filter types are now limited to their allowed values, so the query can no longer return private, draft, pending or scheduled posts
    Changes
    • Release date: October 22, 2026
    • Development: Advanced Tabs, Coupons, Event Calendar, FAQ and Interactive Circle - The posts source Query section and query now use the shared posts query code, so they get its fixes and options. Existing settings and the ppe_tabs_query_args, ppe_coupons_query_args, ppe_calendar_query_args, ppe_faqs_query_args and ppe_interactive_circle_query_args filters are unchanged
    • Development: Posts query - The Query ID hooks and the Avoid Duplicates list are now handled in one place, PP_Posts_Query_Builder::run_for_display, for every widget with a posts source

    Improved

    Fixed
    • Accessibility - In carousels with Infinite Loop enabled, the slide position read out to screen readers was one slide behind after looping past the first or last slide
    • Advanced Posts - Filters for terms with non-Latin names, such as Greek or Cyrillic, showed every post instead of only the posts in that term, and a link to one of those filters
    • Breadcrumbs - On a tag archive for a tag with no published posts, the tag name was missing from the breadcrumb and PHP warnings were written to the error log
    • Carousels - On some sites the navigation arrows and autoplay did not move the slides, depending on how the spacing between slides had been saved; this affected Image Slider, Advanced Posts, Instagram Feed, Tabbed Gallery, Timeline, Video Gallery, Woo Categories and the other carousel widgets
    • Content Reveal - With Content Visibility By set to Lines, a PHP warning was written to the error log each time the widget was rendered
    • Gravity Forms - Dropdown fields showed two arrows when the form used the Gravity Forms Orbital theme
    • Login Form - The lost password form kept loading forever when the email address did not belong to an account on sites with a security plugin that hides which accounts exist; it now shows the reset email message, and shows an error instead of loading forever if the request fails for any other reason
    • Login Form - The lost password form now passes the same details to other plugins as the WordPress lost password page, so security and captcha plugins that check the request no longer break it
    • WPForms - Since 3.1.0 the form fields were shorter and narrower than the sizes set in WPForms
    • Woo Mini Cart - Since 3.1.0, with Show Cart on set to None, clicking the cart button did nothing instead of opening the cart page

    • Offcanvas Content - Added Title HTML Tag, Toggle Accessible Label and Panel Accessible Label options
