Beaver Builder October News
October hasn’t been a quiet month in the Beaver Builder world – Fall / Autumn for our northerners, Spring for the southerners, festivals and holidays for all and yet there are still so many great new Beaver Builder goodies to talk about.
Beaver Builder has released more news about their upcoming plugin and theme releases and 3rd party developers have been busy with their own new updates. Here’s a rundown of the latest and greatest…
Beaver Tunnels 2.0
The awesome plugin, Beaver Tunnels just updated to version 2.0 and got a total brand makeover and a new website too. This is one bit of software we could not do without and the new updates extend the power of Tunnels even further. The new Tunnels includes an updated user interface in the admin back end making it easier to define display rules. There are a few new display conditions including page types, cust0m post types and time-based conditionals. If you’re running Beaver Builder in a white label environment, Beaver Tunnels now respects those settings too. More about Beaver Tunnels on our product page and watch David Waumsley’s YouTube review.
