Notes from the build.
Product updates, build walkthroughs, and guides for shipping Elementor pages and running WordPress with AI agents.

EMCP Tools 3.13.0: finish a theme template without Elementor Pro
Nine new Themer widgets and dynamic data on free Elementor. Pick the post title, featured image or a custom field from the field itself, in Elementor or the block editor. Plus a rewritten read-only SQL guard and a fix for command-line AI apps that could not sign in.

EMCP Tools 3.12.0: back up, migrate, and sync your whole WordPress site
A complete Backup, Sync & Migrate suite. Package your site into one portable file, move it to a live server with no manual upload, and push individual pages you edited to production. Plus fixes for dynamic content in Theme Builder templates and container-off sites.

EMCP Tools 3.8.0: give your AI-built work a home in the cloud
EMCP Cloud lets you back up everything your AI builds in the Sandbox, sync it across every site, and share it on a Marketplace. Plus two OAuth reliability fixes that keep connected AI clients from dropping.

EMCP Tools 3.7.0: your AI builds its own blocks, and remembers your site
Two Pro features. Your AI agent can now author real custom Gutenberg blocks in a safe sandbox, and the plugin keeps a memory of your site across sessions so the agent stops guessing every time.
