If you’re a photographer, designer, or videographer, you’ve probably looked long and hard for the ultimate portfolio website template. Or if you’re a website designer, you’ve probably tried a hundred different WordPress themes to help satisfy your client’s needs. Well look no further.
The EU’s new data privacy regulations are fast approaching and if you own a website, this could affect you.
In brief, Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will enforce stricter regulations to data collection that impacts any EU citizen, regardless of where you and your website is based. These new regulations take effect on May 25, 2018.
This new regulation could affect the contact or info forms users fill out on your page. To comply with the GDPR, we’ve added an option in our Builder Contact addon. The new option will allow you to display a consent checkbox to your viewers with the text “I consent to my submitted data being collected and stored”, or something to that effect, anytime they fill out a contact form. The checkbox will be a required field that the viewer must select in order to submit the contact form.
In order to take advantage of this new feature, please update your Builder Contact addon to the latest version!

Introducing our new Builder Library, the latest addition to Themify Builder. This new feature allows you to save rows/modules as a library object, giving you the ability to re-use it on any page/row. Now available with the latest framework version, you'll see the Library tab on the module panel. To use this new feature, simply click on the "save" icon found on the modules/rows and it'll automatically save as a re-usable object in your library.
Never miss your contact messages again with the new Builder Contact Submissions feature! You can now enable Contact Submissions which creates and stores all submitted messages in the database. Let’s say your mail server fails for whatever reason or the email goes to spam somehow, you still can access the messages through WordPress admin. Each message will be stored as a post in the database which you can view, export, and delete.
