Sneak Peak: Builder v4
We are now in the final stages of the development and testing of the brand new Builder V4! We're so excited about the release that we've decided to make a sneak peak video demo showcasing its cool new features! The demo includes some of the following features:
- New User Interface: The new interface provides a better user experience. You've got to watch the demo video to see it for yourself!
- Input Slider: Allows you to drag various styling input options (ie. padding, margin, font size) like a slider and see it applied live on your site.
- Row Drag Zooming: When moving and rearranging rows, your screen zooms out of the preview window for a better view.
- Resize-able Responsive Preview Window - Now you can change the size of the preview window when editing using the responsive styling. Allowing you to edit more accurately for various types of mobile or tablet devices.
- Row Frame Styling - Decorate row or column edges with a preset frame or a custom SVG.
- Live Edit Layout Part - This useful feature allows you to edit Layout Parts on the spot without having to open a lightbox or be redirected to another page.
We're so excited to introduce the new Builder V4 and can't wait for you all to begin building even more beautiful sites with it! It's definitely going to change the way you create and design your online presence!

lovely!
June 22, 2018 @ 11:16 pm
Can’t wait to update my websites with the new framework :). Awesome!
June 23, 2018 @ 11:18 am
I love what you do.
I did not find a better builder. This one is the best.
June 23, 2018 @ 7:19 pm
Where is the v3? Skipped?
June 25, 2018 @ 7:55 pm
Thanks for pointing this out. Our framework is currently on v3+, so the next big jump is v4. Note that the Builder plugin version is different than the framework because we release it separately. We will match the Builder plugin version to v4 as well for this release.
June 23, 2018 @ 8:59 pm
Awesome, I canĀ“t wait :D
June 26, 2018 @ 6:25 am
When will this be out of Beta?
June 26, 2018 @ 5:57 pm
The beta version was out. We’ve released it yesterday. You can download it here: https://themify.me/files/themify-beta/themify-beta.zip. After you install it, please go to Themify > Settings > Theme Settings -> Script Minification and disable the minify and Builder cache.
July 19, 2018 @ 9:17 am
I think you may have misunderstood Greg, Nick.
He said when will this be out OF Beta not when it will be out AS beta. He’s asking when it will be released as a stable version – not when the beta version will be released. It’s only a teeny word difference, but it changes the whole question. Hope that helps xx
PS: You’ve now changed my day completely. So much to do – yet I’ll be playing with v4 instead. Dammit! :o)
June 25, 2018 @ 7:35 am
I am happy with this new update. Front end editing became much more easy.
Please also add background image opacity option.
June 25, 2018 @ 7:57 pm
Don’t think there is opacity property in CSS background-image (will double check that with our developers). What you can do is add a semi-transparent row overlay to fake row background image opacity.
June 25, 2018 @ 1:13 pm
Awesome! Will make building beautiful sites even easier than before!
June 25, 2018 @ 1:21 pm
Ultra :-) Can’t wait to Beta-test it!
June 25, 2018 @ 7:57 pm
We are going to send out the beta version shortly.
June 25, 2018 @ 1:24 pm
Excellent! Really looking fwd to it :)
June 25, 2018 @ 1:38 pm
That is really exciting. I hope this gets out of Beta as fast as possible.
June 25, 2018 @ 1:50 pm
Loving this! Can’t wait to get stuck in.
June 25, 2018 @ 2:26 pm
Your interactive features are making a website natural and intuitive to both design and use!
June 25, 2018 @ 7:58 pm
Thank you! We’ve been working very hard for this version. It is going to be our best release ever.
June 25, 2018 @ 6:48 pm
Waitingš
June 25, 2018 @ 7:34 pm
Really? Playing mind numbing music in the background instead of using a voice over to describe the product? That”s something i would expect from a you tube noob, not from a professional company. Even if your product is top notch that demo is enough to make me turn away.
June 25, 2018 @ 10:11 pm
Thank you for your feedback, Mr. Nope. We intentionally did the video without voice over to drive user’s curiosity and anticipation.
June 25, 2018 @ 9:42 pm
Awesome!
You guys are amazing!!
Quick request: Can you make it so that we don’t have to log in for every plugin update? …possibly like a “check it once a week” type of thing? …or once a day at the very least. Whenever I do updates, it takes like 15 times longer because I have to login for each of your plugins.
Keep being the best!!
June 25, 2018 @ 10:05 pm
We are working on that. Will make that as one of our next major improvements.
June 26, 2018 @ 4:32 am
Is there any beta testing going on. Happy to get involved and provide feedback on this exciting phase
June 26, 2018 @ 9:14 am
Finally there it is: ROW FRAME STYLING – thanx in advance! I spent hours to create section/row separators via CSS (before/after elements)… Let’s do it faster then :-) Unfortunately your solution via SVG will not work with all browser :-/
June 26, 2018 @ 10:48 am
Wow Wow Wow! Beta invitation came today – it’s a GAME CHANGER. I love it!!! Thank you so much Themify!
June 26, 2018 @ 11:19 am
Tried installing the new builder but cannot activate the builder. Just adds a “#” to the URL
The HTML shows: Turn On Builder
June 26, 2018 @ 5:55 pm
Are you using this Beta version: https://themify.me/files/themify-beta/themify-beta.zip? Could you go to Themify > Settings > Theme Settings -> Script Minification and disable the minify and Builder cache?
June 26, 2018 @ 11:57 am
Very nice! When would this release be publish?
June 30, 2018 @ 12:39 pm
Nick,
When will this release coming out?
June 26, 2018 @ 3:42 pm
Wow this is amazing!!! I really hope it’s coming out soon.
June 28, 2018 @ 4:31 pm
This is why I upgraded my account. :)
July 2, 2018 @ 5:46 am
Nice! i’m waiting for the builder publish.
July 4, 2018 @ 3:22 am
Please kindly redesign the menu drop down styling and add shadow options for links and elements if possible..cant wait to see what i can do with those SVG….nice one..big thumbs up
July 4, 2018 @ 7:25 pm
You are right. We’ve been missing out the box-shadow and border-radius (rounded corners) styling options. Will log that.
July 6, 2018 @ 1:27 pm
Wow this is amazing!!! Looking forward for Beta version
July 12, 2018 @ 3:55 pm
Its Amazing! I believe in Themify Team…! We are in a perfect way! Hugs from Ecuador.
July 13, 2018 @ 8:00 am
Awesome!!
Just Amazing, Eagerly waiting for this beta version.
July 13, 2018 @ 9:33 pm
Only question in mind, Dynamic content support?
July 16, 2018 @ 3:08 pm
Noticed that when I use custom svg for top/bottom frame – it gets reversed (upside down)… so I actually had to upload it’s reversed version to get desired result ;)
July 18, 2018 @ 9:56 am
Is it known already when there will be a stable version available for everyone?
July 18, 2018 @ 5:34 pm
The stable beta version is available (read the “Beta Version” in this post). We are doing final testing with all themes and addons. If everything goes well, v4 will be released next week.
July 19, 2018 @ 6:03 pm
How do I set the Row to full width and the column to default? Also can I move around the columns?
Thanks
July 19, 2018 @ 11:03 pm
To set row width options: hover the row > hover the row action button > click “Row Options”, then set the row width.
July 19, 2018 @ 6:37 pm
BTW shortcodes not working with the beta version
July 19, 2018 @ 11:02 pm
Which shortcodes? If it is Themify Shortcodes, you need to install the Themify Shortcodes plugin.
July 21, 2018 @ 3:26 pm
Hi,
Installation went fine but when trying to update to Framework version 3.5.9 gave me next error in both admin panel and website:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Access to undeclared static property: TB_alert_Module::$texts in /home4/digitalh/public_html/bolsaselegantes.com.br/wp-content/themes/themify-beta/themify/themify-builder/modules/module-alert.php:10 Stack trace: #0 /home4/digitalh/public_html/bolsaselegantes.com.br/wp-content/themes/themify-beta/themify/themify-builder/classes/class-themify-builder-model.php(68): TB_alert_Module->__construct() #1 /home4/digitalh/public_html/bolsaselegantes.com.br/wp-content/themes/themify-beta/themify/themify-builder/modules/module-alert.php(437): Themify_Builder_Model::register_module(‘TB_alert_Module’) #2 /home4/digitalh/public_html/bolsaselegantes.com.br/wp-content/themes/themify-beta/themify/themify-builder/includes/components/module.php(140): require_once(‘/home4/digitalh…’) #3 /home4/digitalh/public_html/bolsaselegantes.com.br/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(286): Themify_Builder_Component_Module::load_modules(”) #4 /home4/digitalh/public_html/bolsaselegantes.com.br/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(310): W in /home4/digitalh/public_html/bolsaselegantes.com.br/wp-content/themes/themify-beta/themify/themify-builder/modules/module-alert.php on line 10
July 23, 2018 @ 3:08 am
Did you update the Themify framework via Themify Beta theme? Basically it puts the old framework in the Beta that caused this problem. Could you try to reinstall the Themify Beta theme again?
August 8, 2018 @ 4:39 am
How can we reinstall the beta theme again if im unable to access the admin panel?
August 8, 2018 @ 11:55 pm
Please switch to the latest Themify Ultra theme as we already released the update.
August 10, 2018 @ 4:11 pm
It would be great to know how to fix this. I have this on my test site after updating to the new framework. I can’t get the old version of builder to install to get back to my blog/admin panel? I am all up to date with builder and Metro theme but not getting any help on the forum either. Keep getting told to give you admin access to WP but I can’t because of this error
August 14, 2018 @ 1:11 am
Hi Chris,
Sorry to hear about this. If you can’t access your admin, please follow this tutorial to reinstall the latest version with a FTP software: https://themify.me/docs/theme-update-installation-crash. Don’t downgrade it back to the old version. We will help you to resolve any issue related to the new version.
July 21, 2018 @ 6:05 pm
All very nice. But when will you finally change the update process from manual to automatic?
July 23, 2018 @ 3:07 am
We are working on this. It will be our next goal!
July 24, 2018 @ 8:02 pm
Looks fantastic, but how is the load time? Does this builder version include performance improvements to load faster?
January 22, 2019 @ 10:49 am
What are beta versions that are paid like other products?
January 25, 2019 @ 3:02 am
The beta version is free. :)
March 11, 2019 @ 6:12 am
how long for beta version?
November 29, 2019 @ 1:32 am
when it will be released as a stable version?
November 29, 2019 @ 4:17 am
Hi,
It has been released a while ago. The latest version is stable.
