Planned / Ideas
CSS-only Page Transitions
The View Transitions API is now over 96% support, so is production-ready.
Why CSS-only? – it ensures it works reliably with other WordPress plugins & other custom functionality without requiring custom code (re-initialising JS functions etc), which is often required when using JS libriaries like Barba / Swup to simulate page loads.
Importantly, with CSS-only the page load is preserved and allows the to browser handles the transitions between pages.
Video.js v10
The creators of the current best video libraries available – Vidstack, Plyr, Media Chrome are all joining forces to create a “..more modern, modular, and composable media player framework” called Video.js v10.
We’ll be looking into this when it’s stable (and has feature parity with existing solutions) to see if it’s worth integrating to deliver better video experiences in Bricks.
LifterLMS Conditions
Allow content to be hidden/shown based on the user enrollment / membership status.
FiboSearch & FiboFilters Support
Allow BricksExtras features/elements to be used inside filtered content by FiboFilters.
SureCart Conditions
Build more dynamic pages/templates when building stores powered by SureCart.
In Development
Add to Calendar

– Add support for overlapping / stacking bar charts.
– More control over tooltip behaviour
Full support for Bricks’ dark modes
Including elements that don’t style with CSS ie charts, qr codes, audio waveforms that use canvas where the colors need redrawing as users switching between dark/light modes.

Plugin Scope
BricksExtras, as an addon to Bricks theme, is primarily focused on adding functionality to the ‘presentation layer’ of your site.
We create interactive UI components and advanced display elements for your WordPress content. Think carousels, tabs, toggles, notifications, menus, charts, tables, tooltips, hotspots, calendars, modals, accordions – elements that output your data in different ways or add needed interactions.
Our elements work with your existing content (from custom post types, custom fields) to enhance the frontend experience.
Our features typically center on:
- How content is displayed and navigated
- User interactions and enhancements
What we typically don’t build:
- Backend functionality like ecommerce, taking payments, bookings, membership functionality, or form processing. We recommend using specialized plugins for those needs, which aren’t tied to a specific theme.
