Winden — Tailwind CSS Compiler with Full WordPress Integration

Changelog

2.0.2

• Tested up to WordPress 7.1.3

2.0.1

• Tested up to WordPress 7.1.2

2.0.0

• Added: Winden Classes panel, a visual class helper in Gutenberg. Autocomplete in a textarea, a colour swatch beside every colour class, hover a class to read its CSS, and classes that compile to nothing are flagged.
• Added: HTML editor. Edit any block as HTML from its toolbar; the editor docks beside the canvas and follows your selection.
• Added: Paste a Tailwind component and get real blocks that keep their classes, including images, galleries, tables, SVG and links.
• Added: Winden Image, Winden Text and Winden Icon blocks, and the Winden Group and Winden Shape variations for Tailwind markup.
• Added: HTML attributes (aria-*, data-*, style and more) on core Paragraph, Heading, List, Quote, Group, Code, Separator and Preformatted blocks.
• Added: Expand or collapse a whole branch in List View.
• Added: Alt/Option+click a block to jump straight to its Winden Classes field.
• Added: Tailwind plugin management. Search npm for a plugin, add it without writing CSS, and switch it off without removing it.
• Added: Page caches (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, SiteGround and more) are cleared automatically when the compiled CSS changes.
• Improved: The compiler uses native Tailwind v4 APIs, and container queries work through Tailwind v4 itself. Existing Style tabs keep compiling.
• Improved: The editor always compiles on save, even with “Disable Dev Mode” on. The setting now only affects the frontend for logged-in users.
• Improved: A pending CSS rebuild runs the next time an admin opens the editor, the Winden settings or any frontend page.
• Improved: More classes are found: shortcodes and dynamic blocks that depend on the current page, menu CSS classes and widgets.
• Improved: Arbitrary values that contain quotes, such as url() backgrounds and quoted font names, now compile correctly.
• Improved: Faster admin. Monaco loads only where there is an editor.
• Improved: File scanner tri-state checkboxes, file-count badges and a loading spinner.
• Improved: Tailwind CSS v4.3.3.
• Fixed: Undo (Ctrl/Cmd+Z) in the Style Editor could replace a tab with another tab’s content.
• Fixed: An empty Wizzard deleted the whole theme.
• Fixed: After switching blocks, autocomplete could show the previous block’s suggestions.
• Fixed: Autocomplete took focus away from other editor fields.
