Three New Features in Kadence Blocks for Images, Progress Bar and Conditional Form Fields 

Kadence Blocks 3.1.16+ released three new features to make building sites with Kadence Blocks easier. These new features include conditional fields in the Advanced Form Block, a Pexels integration that allows for easier resizing, alt-tagging and importing of royalty free images into the media library, and the addition of shape masks to the Progress Bar Block. In this post, we provide an overview of these new features and how to use them. 

Advanced Form Block Conditional Fields

The Kadence Advanced Form Block now has conditional fields available to show or hide fields based on the input to other forms. We can now show specific fields only if the site visitor completing the form selects a specific option. In the example below, when a user selects a meal preference of “omnivore” the field containing “omnivore preference” is shown, but not shown otherwise. 

For a full video tutorial showing how to use conditional fields, see the YouTube video below. You can also refer to the help documentation for the Advanced Form Block. 

Pexels Integration

You can now easily search and download images from Pexels (a popular free image source) within your WordPress media library when you have Kadence Blocks 3.1.16 or greater installed. 

If enabled you can open the media library modal, and you will see a new tab next to the media library for pexels. Features of our Pexels integration include:

• Search Pexels image library
• Single or multi-select images to download
• Images more optimally sized for web display
• Images downloaded with better file names for search engine optimization

You can refer to our help documentation for the Pexels integration for more details, including how to disable this feature if needed. 

Progress Bar Shape Masks

The Kadence Blocks Progress Bar Block now has shape masks allowing you to add progress bar shapes as creative as stars, cats, dogs, mugs, diamonds, thumbs up, or even a custom image of your choice.

The Progress Bar Block can also be set to have as many mask iterations as desired, and even animations. This is a perfect use for testimonials, rating products, or other implementations.

You can refer to our help documentation for the progress bar block for more details.

Kadence continues to innovate

These new features are just a small set of things that the Kadence team is continuously working on as we build out even more functionality for WordPress site owners looking to create more effective websites.
