AJAX FILTER UPDATE
* FIX – Filtering or resetting large Archive Loop grids that use the Post Title module in a custom loop layout no longer freezes the browser.
* FIX – Free-text search Filter Parameter tags show reliably after filtering, including when Auto Suggest or live search is enabled, so the search can be cleared with the X without using Clear All Filters.

• FIX – WPML String Translation no longer creates duplicate entries for the same module label when pages load in other languages or render more than once.

• FIX – License keys can be activated and deactivated again on the Divi Engine settings page when Divi Mobile (or another legacy Titan plugin) is active.
• FIX – Custom post type archive pages keep full-width nested rows without swapping Divi’s global CPT stylesheets, so Theme Builder and Divi header and footer design are no longer broken on those archives.
  AJAX FILTER UPDATE
  * NEW – Category and attribute filter counts update faster when using Elasticsearch, Typesense, or Cloud catalog search.
  * NEW – Catalog index settings let you choose a search engine (WordPress, built-in index, Typesense, Elasticsearch, ElasticPress, or Cloud) and configure connection options from Divi Engine settings.
  * NEW – Built-in catalog index stores products and posts locally for faster category, price, and text filters, with a step-by-step setup wizard, one profile per post type, faster facet counts, optional daily rebuild, and automatic updates when you save or publish content.
  * NEW – Cloud index uses Divi Engine’s hosted search with trial, subscribe, and billing from plugin settings, automatic API key setup, and per-site collections.

  * NEW – Typesense and ElasticPress catalog engines power filtered search when configured in catalog settings.
  * NEW – Catalog Sync and Rebuild show live progress (for example 500/5000) and the total indexed when finished.

  * NEW – ACF date sorting option to show today and future events, and keep multi-day events visible until their end date has passed.
  * NEW – Checkbox category filters can automatically uncheck a parent category when a subcategory is selected, so results narrow to the subcategory while still allowing multiple sibling selections.

  * FIX – Load More and filter no longer apply hover or transform styles from one image in a custom loop layout to another image on the page.

VERSION 7.3.1 – 17/07/26

• FIX – Archive Loop Post Type selection is no longer cleared or saved as the invalid slug “off” after a plugin update or Visual Builder save, which previously caused the loop to show no posts on page load.
• FIX – Custom post type archive pages no longer show a critical error from duplicate Theme Builder CSS helpers, and Theme Builder header and footer styling is left to Divi.

• FIX – Divi Machine no longer shows a false update available notice on the Plugins screen when you already have the latest version installed or a newer development build.

  * FIX – Category filters respect Archive Loop include and exclude rules on first load, after reset, and with Hide Empty Values, including correct counts and results when a category is selected.
  * FIX – ACF radio filters whose option key ends with “_filter” again show per-choice counts on first page load.

VERSION 7.0.6 – 27/05/26

• MOD – Divi 4 bundle no longer ships duplicate script, style, and library folders; those assets load from the plugin root only.
• MOD – Packaging now auto-detects the bundled Ajax Filter settings build location, so release builds keep working across the old and new folder layouts.
• FIX – Gallery/Slider (Divi 5): Custom Field Gallery Name and group field dropdowns load ACF options again in the Visual Builder.
• FIX – Divi 4 now shows Archive Loop only once in the module list, so the legacy duplicate option is no longer offered for new layouts.
• FIX – Divi 4 synced filter and order dropdowns now keep the standard Divi select styling and arrow in inline builder CSS, so select fields no longer lose their base appearance after sync.
  AJAX FILTER UPDATE
  * NEW – Filter item fields have border settings in Design, matching Divi 4 input borders.
  * MOD – Filter Posts and Filter Posts Item content and design settings now use Divi 5’s built-in search, with options grouped by tab (Main, Layout, Range, Radio, and more).
  * FIX – Excluded categories or taxonomy terms stay excluded on an Archive Loop after filtering on the same taxonomy.
  * MOD – Divi Machine: Address and map filters work the same on Divi 4, Divi 5, and Gutenberg.
  * MOD – Divi Machine: Address filters search the full place you pick (not partial typing or your browser location), run when expected, and radius searches return matching posts and map pins.
  * MOD – Divi Machine: Maps load reliably on refresh, show pins and cluster counts on first load, stay correct after filtering, zoom cleanly, and clear leftover cluster bubbles after click-to-zoom.
  * MOD – Divi Machine: Map and listing info windows no longer break when titles or content include special characters such as backticks or apostrophes.
  * FIX – On-sale product loops keep showing only sale items after filtering.
  * FIX – Changing sort order while logged out no longer repeats the first page of results.

  * FIX – WPML no longer adds duplicate filter strings when you open a translated page.
  * MOD – Divi Machine: Archive Loop custom layouts with nested repeaters, tabs, or accordions stay intact after Load More or filtering; card layout stays aligned on first load and after loading more (Divi 4).
