August 2025 Updates: Smarter Tagging, Easier Responsive Control, Learning Resources, Upcoming Releases & More!

Cleaner workflows, better control, and practical fixes, here’s what we’ve shipped in the latest update 👇🏻

• Bricks – WordPress Menu & Nav Menu Tagging Support
  Now you can directly tag navigation menus in Figma, and UiChemy will automatically convert them into WordPress Navigation Menu elements. No need to remove and manually drag-and-drop menus after export.
• Elementor: Button Auto Tagging
  Just like containers, headings, and images, button layouts now get auto-tagged. If you name layers like Button, Btn, div-btn, or div-button, UiChemy will automatically convert them into button widgets.

• Educational Figma File Released
  We published a dedicated Figma file covering the most common design issues and how to fix them. From fixing grouped layers to optimizing media assets, flattening vectors, handling absolute positions, and more, step-by-step examples with screenshots make your workflow cleaner and export-ready.
  
  Topics covered include:
  • Fix Incorrectly Grouped Layers
  • Optimise Media Assets
  • Flatten Vector Layers
  • Crop Overflowing Images
  • Use Container Borders Instead of Lines
  • Convert Shapes to PNG/Container
  • Handle Absolute Positioned Elements
  • Fix Overflowing Sections
  • Remove Fixed Text Heights

• Responsive Manager, Reimagined
  The new Responsive Manager comes with a redesigned interface and improved workflow.
  
  • Static & Range Font Sizes: Easily manage responsive typography with px values or percentage scaling.
  • Laptop Breakpoint: Now supported.

• Automatic Value Detection: UiChemy scans your Figma file and lists all font sizes, line heights, paddings, and gaps, saving manual effort.
• Sorting Support: Sort values by font size or usage frequency for better consistency.

• Smarter Global Styles Sync
  You can now define global container widths for all breakpoints, not just desktop. Whether widescreen, laptop, tablet, or mobile, your layouts stay consistent across every device.

All these updates are live and ready for you. Just update to the latest version and explore.

Smarter Conversions, Less Guesswork

We introduced real-time responsive preview in UiChemy. As you adjust layouts or change screen sizes, you can instantly see how your design will adapt, no need to re-export or re-click anything. It’s all about building with confidence, faster.

Instead of guessing what to do next, you’ll now move through each stage step by step, from prepping your Figma file, tagging widgets, setting up responsiveness, to syncing global styles.

This makes the whole process smoother, easier to follow, and especially helpful if you’re new to UiChemy or want more control while exporting.

No more skipping steps. No more confusion. Just a clear path from design to Elementor.
