Zadex

Zadex is a visual, live page builder for WordPress. You edit the real page: click any text to type, drop widgets where you want them, split sections into columns with one click and see every change instantly. The HTML it produces is clean (one element per widget, no wrapper soup) and the CSS is generated once when you save, so pages stay fast.

Editor

• Live editing on the real page with your theme around it, inline text editing and a navigator tree.
• “+” between sections with a column-structure picker; re-split an existing section without losing its content.
• Flex and CSS grid containers, nested columns, boxed or full-width sections.
• Responsive editing for up to seven breakpoints, hover and other states, undo/redo, revisions, copy/paste style.
• Global colors, fonts, spacing variables and reusable classes.
• Components and global widgets: save a block once, reuse it everywhere, edit it in one place.
• Template library with starter sections, saved templates and page/site-kit export and import.
• Arabic translation and full right-to-left support; dark mode for the editor.

Widgets

Headings, text, images, buttons, icons, icon lists, image and icon boxes, videos, galleries, carousels, tabs, accordions, toggles, counters, progress bars, testimonials, star ratings, maps, social icons, forms, price tables and lists, countdowns, slides, flip boxes, call to action, animated headlines, table of contents, share buttons, code highlight, Lottie animations, hotspots, video playlists, login, instant search and more.

Theme builder

Design the header, footer, single post, archive, search results and 404 templates, with display conditions. Theme widgets (site logo, navigation menu, mega menu, post title/content/info, breadcrumbs, archive posts, search form), dynamic content from posts, the site, users and custom fields (ACF, Pods, Toolset and Meta Box when installed), and a loop builder with filters.

Marketing

• Popups with triggers (page load, scroll, click, inactivity, exit intent), targeting rules and animations.
• A form builder with multi-step forms, file uploads, spam protection, email notifications and a submissions screen with CSV export; optional integrations with webhooks and email marketing services.
• Maintenance and coming-soon mode, floating contact buttons, page transitions and motion effects.

WooCommerce

When WooCommerce is active: single-product and shop templates and widgets for product title, images, price, add to cart, cart, checkout, my account, mini cart and products grids.

Source code

All JavaScript and CSS in the build/ folder is generated from the human-readable sources that ship inside the plugin, and the build output itself is not minified.

• src/editor/ (TypeScript and Vue 3) – the live editor: build/assets/editor-*.js and build/assets/editor-*.css, plus the lazily loaded editor chunks in build/assets/.
• src/frontend/ (TypeScript and CSS) – the scripts and styles loaded on the public site: build/assets/frontend-*, motion-*, popup-*, interactions-*, transitions-*, floating-* and the other entry files listed in vite.config.ts.
• widgets/<widget>/Preview.vue, widgets/<widget>/*.ts and widgets/<widget>/style.css – each widget’s editor preview, front-end behaviour and styles: build/assets/widgets/<widget>/*.js (and the shared widget CSS in build/assets/frontend-*.css).
• Bundled libraries (Vue, Pinia, VueUse, nanoid, Font Awesome Free) come from npm; their versions are pinned in package.json and package-lock.json.

To rebuild build/ from the sources: install Node.js 20 or later, then run npm ci and npm run build in the plugin folder. vite.config.ts lists every entry point; build/manifest.json maps each generated file back to its source file.

External services

Zadex does not track visitors or site owners and never sends data to the plugin authors. It connects to the third-party services below only when you add the related widget or turn on the related option.

Remote template library (optional)

The template library uses the starter kits bundled inside the plugin. Only if you enter your own library URL under Zadex > Import / Export does your server download that JSON file (cached for 12 hours). No data about your site or visitors is sent; the service is the one whose URL you entered.

Links to other services

The Share Buttons, Social Icons, Floating Buttons and Blockquote widgets only output ordinary links (for example to facebook.com, x.com/twitter.com, linkedin.com, wa.me / api.whatsapp.com, t.me, pinterest.com and reddit.com). Nothing is loaded from those services and no data is sent to them unless a visitor clicks such a link.

Privacy

• Form submissions are stored in your own database (table zadex_submissions) when the “Collect submissions” action is enabled, together with the submitting visitor’s IP address, user agent and referring page. Uploaded files are stored in wp-content/uploads/zadex-forms/. You can view, export and delete submissions under Zadex > Submissions.
• Editor notes are stored in your database (table zadex_notes); mentioned users receive an email from your site.
• Popups, evergreen countdowns and page views counters store small values in the visitor’s browser (localStorage/sessionStorage) to respect your display rules. No cookies are set by Zadex.
