Welcome to Vector Expressions Pro
Vector Expressions Pro extends the Vector Expressions engine with advanced context roots, third-party field plugin integrations, an expanded modifier library, targeted attribute bindings, and scoped dynamic CSS.
What Pro Adds
Core Expansion (Always Active)
| Feature | Description |
|---|
view Context Root | Page-level context that persists inside Query Loops — adapts to archives, search, taxonomy, author, and 404 views |
query Context Root | Current WP_Query data — found posts, pagination, query parameters |
date Context Root | Current date/time values for time-based expressions |
| Extended Properties | Additional post and user property aliases beyond the free plugin’s core set |
| Targeted Attribute Bindings | Bind expressions to specific HTML attributes — href, src, data-*, aria-*, and more |
| Scoped Dynamic CSS | Write per-block CSS with {{ }} expressions — automatically scoped via @scope so styles never leak to other blocks |
| Extended Modifier Library | 40+ additional modifiers across WordPress, formatting, numbers, and utility categories |
Third-Party Integrations (Conditional)
These activate automatically when their host plugin is detected — no configuration needed.
| Integration | Condition | What It Adds |
|---|
| ACF | Advanced Custom Fields active | acf, acf_option, acf_user, and acf_term roots + ACF media/field modifiers |
| Meta Box | Meta Box active | mb, mb_setting, mb_user, and mb_term roots + Meta Box media/field modifiers |
| WooCommerce | WooCommerce active | woo_product, woo_shop, and woo_cart roots + WooCommerce modifiers |
