Reel v3.2.0

Reel 3.2.0

New Block Editor Demo

This update introduces a new demo option for the block editor, allowing users to easily set up a complete site design. It also fixes an issue with private and unlisted Vimeo videos not playing correctly in the portfolio and slideshow.

New

  • “Default (Block editor)” demo in the Demo Importer. A version of the default design built entirely with the block editor, with Homepage, About, Services, Blog and Contact pages. The importer installs the Carousel Slider Block and WPZOOM Portfolio plugins it needs

Fixed

  • private and unlisted Vimeo videos did not play in the portfolio video lightbox and the slideshow video popup. Links that carry a privacy hash (vimeo.com/ID/HASH or player.vimeo.com/video/ID?h=HASH) lost the hash when the embed URL was built, so Vimeo refused to play them
Reel v3.1.7

Reel 3.1.7

Improved Vimeo background video handling

This update improves Vimeo video handling, ensuring that background videos from free or legacy accounts display correctly and enhancing user experience by preventing player controls from appearing on hover.

New

  • Added an admin notice in the video metaboxes when the entered Vimeo video is hosted on a free or legacy Vimeo account

Improved

  • Vimeo URLs pasted in the YouTube “Video URL” field (slideshow and portfolio single post video backgrounds) are now automatically played with the Vimeo player instead of failing silently
  • Background Vimeo iframes no longer react to the mouse, preventing the Vimeo player controls from appearing on hover
  • Updated the bundled Vimeo Player JS library to v2.30.4

Fixed

  • Fixed Vimeo background videos loading as a paused player: Vimeo now limits background embeds (background=1) to its current paid plans. Videos hosted on free or legacy accounts are automatically played as a standard muted embed instead, and when Vimeo stops their playback the video fades out to the featured image instead of showing a paused player
Reel v3.1.5

Reel 3.1.5

New

  • Self-hosted video trimmer in the Video Background on Hover feature
  • “Capture frame as Featured Image” tool for self-hosted MP4 videos — pause the preview at any moment and set that frame as the post’s Featured Image (available in Video Lightbox, Video Background on Single Post, Slideshow Video Lightbox, Slideshow Video Background, Posts/Pages “Video Background in Header”, and Video Background on Hover)
  • Added support for custom fonts added using the Custom Fonts and Elementor PRO plugins
