Elementor continues work on Editor v4 with the 3.31 beta. It includes color and font variables, CSS filters, class manager enhancements, and more.

With the update to Bricks 2.0 CSS cascade layers are enabled by default. This video by Nick Arce explains what is going on and how to fix it. He also provides some insight into cascade layers.

This article makes the point that Cumulative Layout Shift is as much a designers problem to solve as it is a task for the developer. Along the way it mentions some steps for minimizing CLS, but doesn’t go into much detail – i.e. it is not really a tutorial, but it is an interesting read.

Here is a nice short video from Kevin Powell demoing the marker and selection pseudo elements.

Congratulations to the Elementor team. The Elementor CSS only carousel was featured at the Google I/O 2025 event.

This tutorial shows how to style elements using data attributes instead of using a class or the id. It is a useful technique for when you are working with dynamic data. The example uses Meta Box and Bricks, but the idea is the same that could be applied to other builders like Breakdance or Oxygen.

When using Flexbox or Grid you can move elements so that the tab order and visual display don’t match. A new CSS feature, Reading Flow, ships in chrome 137 to address this.

Nice video about CSS layouts, related new features, and approaches.

Option Group Presets for Divi 5 is what Elegant Themes is calling their most important feature in years. It’s essentially their class-based design system and it’s quite interesting. One cool feature is the ability to stack Option Presents on Element Presents.
