Easy UIkit

Easy UIkit is a WordPress plugin that enqueues the UIkit3 library so that it can be used regardless of which theme you're using.

Plugin Description

Easy UIKit adds the UIkit3 library to the asset queue so you can use it even when changing themes. Great for page builders plugins like Beaver Builder. It also includes AlekVolsk's width-ex for extended column support (up to 30 columns).

The CSS and scripts are also loaded on the dashboard, so that you can use them in the Gutenberg Editor as well. Ideal for your occasional blocks development using popular block frameworks like ACF Pro or Meta Box.

Disabling Backend CSS

If you do not need them loaded on the backend, you can dequeue the action:

remove_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts', 'easy_uikit_admin_enqueue', 100, 1 );

or by adding a constant

define( 'EASYUIKIT_ADMIN_ENQUEUE' , false );

UIkit-ex Thanks AlekVolsk

Beaver Builder Flex Modules

Since version 1.4.0 you can also use flexbox inside Beaver Builder Columns. Currently support for uk-child-width-1-x is up to 6 columns, however, individual modules may use any supported uk-width-1-x that is supported.

SVG Background shapes

Row background shapes (SVG's) and Row Shape Effects (UABB addon) have been improved and are working as expected.
