Bug Fixes & Code Quality — Site Logo & Text, Tabs, and Text Grid Box widgets

Code Standards & Compatibility
* Fixed: Removed erroneous double backslashes throughout all three widgets (\Elementor\ → \Elementor)
that caused fatal PHP class-not-found errors on strict autoloaders
* Fixed: Renamed deprecated _register_controls() to register_controls() across all three widgets
(the underscore-prefixed method is removed in Elementor 3.x and triggers PHP deprecation notices)
* Fixed: Added PHP 8.x return type declarations (: string, : array, : void) to all public
and protected methods for strict-type compatibility with PHP 8.0–8.4
* Fixed: Replaced all short array syntax [] with long array() syntax to comply with
WordPress Coding Standards (WPCS)
* Removed: Redundant @access phpdoc tags — visibility is already declared by the method keyword

Security Fixes
* Fixed: $title_tag (Text Grid Box, Site Logo & Text) was passed directly to esc_attr() without
being validated first; now allowlisted against a ALLOWED_TITLE_TAGS constant before output,
preventing unexpected tag injection
* Fixed: $wrapper_tag (Site Logo & Text) and $display_type were not allowlisted; both are now
validated against defined constant arrays before use in HTML output
* Fixed: custom_css_class (Text Grid Box) was only run through esc_attr() — added a
sanitize_css_classes() helper that strips non-CSS characters ([^a-zA-Z0-9\s_-]) before escaping
* Fixed: Button link attributes in Text Grid Box had class=”arik-text-box-button” set as a raw
inline attribute alongside print_render_attribute_string(), producing a duplicate class attribute
in the DOM; class is now registered on the same handle via add_render_attribute() and merged correctly
* Fixed: External links in content_template() JS templates were missing rel=”noopener noreferrer”;
a relParts[] accumulator now builds the rel attribute correctly for external and nofollow combinations

Control Registration Fixes
* Fixed: Opacity SLIDER controls (Site Logo & Text, normal and hover tabs) had a flat range array
(range => [min, max, step]) instead of the required unit-keyed structure
(range => [px => [min, max, step]]); the flat structure is silently ignored by Elementor,
meaning the slider had no enforced range limits in the editor
* Fixed: Tabs widget content section was missing an explicit tab => TAB_CONTENT declaration,
causing it to appear outside the Content tab in some Elementor versions
* Fixed: nav_border_radius in the Tabs widget used add_control() instead of add_responsive_control(),
preventing per-breakpoint border-radius overrides on tablet and mobile

Render & Editor Fixes
* Fixed: render() in the Tabs widget output class and data-* attributes via raw string concatenation
inside HTML; replaced with add_render_attribute() / print_render_attribute_string() to properly
integrate with Elementor’s attribute pipeline (CSS animations, dynamic tags, motion effects)
* Fixed: Inline editing in Site Logo & Text used two separate render-attribute handles for the same
element (title_text and custom_text); consolidated into a single title_element handle using
add_render_attribute() array syntax to prevent duplicate or missing attributes on the title tag
* Fixed: Empty $settings[‘text_boxes’] / $settings[‘tabs’] check silently returned with no output;
replaced with a visible printf() editor notice so content authors see actionable feedback
instead of a blank widget in the Elementor panel

New: content_template() — Backbone JS Live Preview
* Added: content_template() to all three widgets (was entirely absent), enabling live preview
updates in the Elementor editor without a page reload
* All three JS templates use view.addRenderAttribute() / view.getRenderAttributeString() — the
official Elementor JS API — instead of manual string concatenation for safe attribute output
* Site Logo & Text: view.addInlineEditingAttributes(‘custom_text’, ‘none’) correctly wires up
double-click-to-edit in the editor (replaces manual data-* attribute strings)
* Text Grid Box: Applies an inline grid-template-columns style in the JS template so column-count
changes are reflected in real time before the Elementor dynamic stylesheet is regenerated
* Tabs & Text Grid Box: Uses _.each() for repeater iteration, {{ }} double-mustache for plain-text
titles (HTML-escaped), and {{{ }}} triple-mustache for WYSIWYG content (raw HTML rendered)
* All JS templates include allowlist guards for title tags and wrapper tags to mirror the PHP
render() security model on the editor side

Refactoring
* Refactored: Monolithic register_controls() split into focused protected helper methods
in all three widgets — register_content_controls(), register_nav_style_controls(),
register_box_style_controls(), etc. — for improved readability and maintainability
* Added: ALLOWED_TITLE_TAGS and ALLOWED_WRAPPER_TAGS as protected const on relevant widget
classes, making the allowlists reusable across both render() and content_template()
