May 2026 was a big month for The Plus Addons for Elementor. WordPress 7.0 shipped and we landed compatibility two days later. The MCP Abilities Catalogue went live — so if you build with Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor, your AI agent can now drive 100+ widgets directly. And I flew to Kraków for WordCamp Europe.
Here’s everything that shipped this month, what’s coming in June, and what V4 plus Angie mean for your client work.
🎉 What shipped in May
- MCP Abilities Catalogue Is Now Live: Every widget our MCP integration exposes is documented at theplusaddons.com/mcp-abilities. Point your AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any MCP-compatible flow) at the page and it can build Elementor layouts with our widgets directly. 100+ widgets across Essentials, Creative, Sections, Forms, Page Scrolls, Social, and Listing.
- WordPress 7.0 Compatibility: Fully tested against WordPress 7.0, including the new core Accordion, Breadcrumbs, Icon, Math, and Term Query blocks. Update WordPress first, then the plugin. Your existing widgets keep working without any changes.
- Off Canvas: Modal Popup Border (Pro): Modal popups now take a configurable border. Small touch, big difference for premium-looking announcements on product pages.
- Stylish List: Gap and Alignment: Independent control over spacing between list items and how each one aligns inside its container. Cleaner long-form layouts without negative-margin patches.
- Info Box and Number Counter: Responsive Title Spacing (Pro): Title top and bottom space now have responsive controls. Tighten the gap on mobile without breaking your desktop rhythm.
- Blog Listing Style-5 and Post Comment: Global Button Style on Submit: Both submit buttons now follow your site-wide Global Button Style. Set the style once, every form looks consistent.
For all the changes, check out the complete changelog here.
What’s coming in June
June is about performance and motion. Here is what is on deck:
- Performance, Caching, and File-Structure Improvements: A focused pass on how widgets load and how assets are served, aligned with the Elementor V4 atomic architecture. Faster editor builds, lighter production pages.
- New GSAP Animation Widget with Transition Styles and Repeater Support: A dedicated animation widget built on GSAP. Multiple transition styles, plus a repeater so you can sequence animations on a single timeline without writing code.
- HTML Accessibility Tags Across All Widgets: Semantic HTML tag controls on every widget. Set the right heading level, landmark, or region per widget and stop hand-patching markup before every accessibility audit.
- WebGL Animation Widgets: A new class of widgets built on WebGL for higher-fidelity scroll and interaction effects. The kind of motion that used to need a custom Three.js script.
- Login and Register Widget Improvements: Cleaner styling controls, better field validation, and tighter integration with conditional display for gated-content flows without needing a membership plugin.
📍 WordCamp Europe 2026 Recap
Just got back from Kraków. Three days at WordCamp Europe 2026 walking through Elementor V4, the new Angie agentic AI, and Sticklight. A few moments from the trip:
Three things I took home as a builder:
1. Angie is real, and the sandbox model is the right one. It generates production-ready WordPress assets, widgets, customisations, frontend code, all inside an isolated sandbox before anything reaches the live site. Safe-by-default AI is what makes this usable on client work, not a hobby project. Our MCP catalogue (above) sits on the same lane, on the addon side.
2. V4 is past the early-adopter phase. The atomic editor (Variables, Classes, Components) is the default story Elementor leads with now. Build new sites on V4 correctly and you spend less time on global design changes because Components do the heavy lifting. Existing V3 sites have no migration pressure. V3 widgets and V4 atomic elements run side by side on the same page, no conflict.
3. The community read on the year is clear. AI inside the build flow, not bolted on. Performance and accessibility as defaults. Independent tooling that survives platform shifts. Our June roadmap (performance pass, accessibility tags, WebGL widgets) maps directly onto that direction.

🗞️ WordPress & Tech Bytes
- WordPress 7.0 has officially shipped on May 20. Native Accordion, Breadcrumbs, Icon, Math, and Term Query blocks now in Core, with Pattern Overrides and Block Bindings improvements. Real-Time Collaboration was pulled at the last minute over stability concerns. The foundation is solid. If you have not pushed the WordPress update to client sites yet, this is the month.
- Elementor launched Angie at WordCamp Europe. Free, on the WordPress plugin repository, sandbox-first by design. Point your AI agent at theplusaddons.com/mcp-abilities and our widgets become callable from the same AI build flow.
- Sticklight launched at WCEU too. Elementor’s second AI announcement, this one for turning ideas into production-ready apps and dashboards. If Angie is the inside-the-editor AI, Sticklight is the build-something-from-scratch AI. Worth watching where the two meet over the next two quarters of client work.
- Automattic shipped Telex, an AI block authoring tool. Describe the block you want in plain English and Telex builds the WordPress block for you. Early signal of where Gutenberg block creation is heading, especially for designers who do not write JavaScript.
- Pressable, WordPress VIP, and several WP Cloud partners earned Secure Hosting Alliance certification on May 28. For agencies recommending hosting to clients, this is a real third-party audit, not a self-graded claim.
- WordPress Core’s AI plugin reached 0.9.0. The Core AI team continues laying the groundwork for native AI inside WordPress, including a connector approval system and tighter API-key security.
- Google’s mobile-only indexing deadline is July 1, 2026. From that date, sites without a working mobile version drop out of the Google index. June is the month to audit any legacy client portfolio and fix what fails.

🗣️ Word of the Month
Amazing Support and Great Features
“This support team is incredible. Fast response, actually investigates the problem and provides in-depth instructions and patches issues when required. Been using this plugin for years and highly recommend it!”
🤔 Founder’s note
One thing I keep telling builders after Kraków: the moat is the relationships, not the widgets. The reason The Plus Addons for Elementor ships day-zero compatibility on every Elementor release is that we spend time with the Elementor team before the release lands, not after. WCEU is where some of those conversations happen.
If you build client sites, the practical takeaway is simple. Choose tools whose teams show up to the events where the platform is being decided. That is the cleanest signal of who will still be around when the next big shift lands.
Hit reply on our community channels and tell me what your team is shipping in June. I read every one.
