Performance Improvements
With more and more options available in WPBakery Page Builder core there was a need to work on performance in a more detailed manner. Each of WPBakery Page Builder releases had improvements in terms of performance, nevertheless, we felt that more detailed work must be done in this area.
WPBakery Page Builder 4.7 offers significant performance improvements by incorporating lazy type initialization of parameters. These changes have given so necessary boost to performance to experience the fastest page-building process out there.
Enhanced User Interface

Now you can resize the WPBakery Page Builder window for example while working with the WYSIWYG editor which has been constantly requested by WPBakery Page Builder users.
Element Presets/Templates
This is the feature you have been waiting for a long time and we are very pleased to finally offer you the option to save chosen element parameters as a preset and even set them as default values. Now there is no need to style the same type of buttons again and again every time you add them to your WordPress site. With Element Presets you will need to build preset only once and then apply it either as default or with one click only.

Such an approach will surely save you tons of time and can be surely considered as a feature that is not available in any other page builder on the market as it combines a well-known template mechanism with element styling options.
More Predefined Layouts
Thanks to huge popularity we have decided to update the list of predefined layout templates available to users out of the box by including 20+ new templates. As always we have attracted pro web design experts to offer flexible and multidisciplinary designs that can be used by different businesses and individuals. New templates are based on the latest trends in web design and incorporate all hot features available in WPBakery Page Builder.
Images and Galleries
We have introduced full standardization of Single Image and Image Gallery elements in order for both of them to offer the same applicable options. Both elements now include captions resulting in better SEO which is a must for modern WordPress business sites.
Another huge improvement for Single Image and Image Gallery elements is an option to accept external images from any Internet resource by providing a direct link to desired content blocks.
Design Options and Border Radius
Based on user requests and usage statistics analysis we have added the Design Options tab to all WPBakery Page Builder content elements. Such a step allows even more styling and manipulation options for the elements that did not have such functionality before.
In addition to standard Design Options features, we have decided to enhance it by incorporating a border radius parameter which will allow you to create more visually appealing layouts and content blocks.
Other Release Features
As always there are plenty of minor things that we have improved during release like adding more width options to Separator elements, allowing usage of the H1 tag in Custom Headings, Zoom option for Single Image, and so on. Even if those are really small things we are sure you will find them useful for your WordPress site.
A lot of ideas included in this release are coming from user requests so we would like to thank all of our users who are constantly sharing their thoughts on how to make WPBakery Page Builder better.
