Announcing the Mirror Widgets Addon

· Announcements, Plugins

We’re excited to announce that version 1.9 of SiteOrigin Premium introduces the Mirror Widgets addon. Create a widget once, use it everywhere. Update it and the changes reflect in all instances of the widget. The Mirror Widget addon is perfect for information or functionality that you’d like to insert in several places but manage in a single location.

Boost SiteOrigin Plugin Performance with Autoptimize

· Announcements

Autoptimize is our preferred plugin for reducing page size and improving load time, we use it right here on test.siteorigin.com/. In our latest release of the Widgets Bundle, version 1.15.6 we’ve added a filter which prevents the exclusion of the /uploads/siteorigin-widgets/ folder, ensuring Widgets Bundle stylesheets are concatenation and minified.

Announcing the Image Overlay Addon

· Announcements, Plugins

Add beautiful, customizable hover text overlays with animations to your images. Hover overlays are great for galleries, portfolios or any image that would benefit from displaying information on hover. Overlays can be deployed in seconds using the predefined light/dark themes or fully customized using the wide array of style and animation options.
