New Gallery Layouts

We’ve updated settings for one of the most popular components in custom blocks — Gallery. You can now choose between Grid, Stacked, and Slider layouts to customize your gallery.

With the Slider layout, you can display gallery images in a slideshow format by allowing site visitors to click through items, or making a slideshow play automatically. You can align two images side by side, set the spacing between items, choose slider options, and change the color of controls.

If you pick the Stacked Layout, all images in the Stacked layout are mutually complementary by default, but you can also change the spacing between them.

To test our new layouts, add a Gallery element in a custom block and navigate to the Layout tab in the Gallery settings.

Adding a Facebook pixel via integration

A Facebook pixel is a code generated at your Facebook Events manager. It collects data that is based on the actions that people take on your website.

From now on, you don’t need to know how to insert the Facebook pixel in the code. You can add it via simple integration that only requires you to copy the Facebook pixel in your Facebook Events manager and paste it in the Analytics tab in the site settings.

You can place the code on your website to track and optimize Facebook ads, build lookalike audiences for future ads, and launch remarketing campaigns. 

If you’re ready to check, take a look at Facebook's instructions on how to create and install the Facebook pixel.

Hiding website from search engines

From now on, you have full control of your website indexing. You can allow or forbid search engines to crawl your website with just one click.

Find a magic switch that lets it happen at the bottom of the page in the General info tab in the Settings. 

After toggling on or off the “Visibility in search results” option, don't forget to publish your site for the changes to take effect.

Note that this switch is on by default, which means that your website is indexed in search engines after you publish it for the first time.
