ExtenderX Release History

New (Pro, Beta): Motion & Animations — a new dashboard tab with two site-wide engines. Site-Wide Animations applies one reveal style to your content across every page, with block-type targeting, stagger, and per-page / per-block overrides in the editor. Scroll-Linked Effects adds parallax, scroll-progress scrub, and sticky reveals. Includes import/export of your animation setup. This feature set is in beta — behavior and options may change in upcoming releases.

New (Pro): Advanced seasonal controls — schedule effects by date range, target specific pages, and customize effect colors and themes.

New (Pro): Scroll to Bottom button — a one-click jump to the end of the page, with the same style presets, icons, positions, colors, behavior, and visibility targeting as the Back to Top button. Enable both and they stack neatly in the same corner without overlapping.

New (Pro): Custom Code power-ups — PHP snippets, conditional display logic, and snippet scheduling.

Every seasonal effect automatically honors visitors' "reduce motion" system preference.

Code snippets now live in a dedicated database table for faster, more reliable storage — existing snippets migrate automatically.

The Back to Top settings panel now powers both scroll buttons, so their customization options always stay in sync.

Settings storage is now split per module and no longer autoloads on every page, reducing memory use on the frontend and in the admin.

Expanded and clarified the plugin listing so the free site tools — dark mode, maintenance mode, coming soon page, announcement bar, insert headers & footers, and seasonal snow effects — are easier to discover.

Removed decorative emoji icons across the dashboard for a more professional, accessible interface.

Settings now save in a single batched request when you toggle several options quickly, with a cleaner, non-duplicating "saved" notice.

Consistent notification styling across every dashboard screen, including Custom Code snippets.

The "Upgrade to Pro" button now reflects your license — Pro users see a "Pro active" badge instead.
