Version 5.10 Changelog

Updated 36

• Updated: The WPBakery and Slider Revolution bundled plugins have been updated.
• Updated: The theme now uses css hover as the default option for the Header Menu Dropdowns Method instead of superfish js.
• Updated: The “Heading” element has been updated to use the default font-weight used for headings instead of using a normal font weight by default for consistency.
• Updated: You can now display term based meta on archive dynamic templates assigned to taxonomies. This will work automatically when using the theme’s custom field element or displaying meta via other elements (heading, image, etc).
• Updated: The custom field element will now return a comma separated string for any custom fields that return an an array value (useful for multi select ACF fields).
• Updated: The Image Element has been updated so you can define your fallback image when displaying dynamic images such as the post thumbnail.
• Updated: The Color Palette color picker has been updated to use hex values by default instead of rgb.
• Updated: The on-the-fly image resizing theme class has been updated to support the next version of the ShortPixel plugin.
• Updated: The “Alternate Thumbnail Position” setting for the Post Cards element has been updated to work with custom cards created with WPBakery.
• Updated: The Post Cards “Flex Items / Horizontal Scroll” Display Type has been renamed to “Horizontal Scroll” and a new “Flex Container” Display Type has been added which will allow for “flex-wrap” so that items will stack vertically only if needed. This display type is intended mainly to work with the new “Button” card style so you can essentially display a navigation bar for your posts.
• Updated: The Business Info widget has been updated so links added to the phone/email match your defined link colors and underline settings.
• Updated: You can now enable the “Metabox Media Tab” in the Post Types Unlimited plugin settings when editing your custom post type independently from the “Theme Settings Metabox” setting.
• Updated: The [[highlight]] shortcode has been updated to prevent issues when used on columns or rows with backgrounds.
• Updated: The [[highlight]] shortcode now accepts a “bottom” attribute so you can adjust the bottom position.
• Updated: When using the Post Types Unlimited plugin fields will now hide if they are not needed.
• Updated: The Theme Panel has been updated to hide any settings that require the Total Theme Core plugin if the plugin is disabled.
• Updated: The Theme Panel has been updated to remove the opacity added to disabled settings for accessibility reasons.
• Updated: When setting the Page Header Title to display the first category for custom post types it will now display the text “Uncategorized” if the post doesn’t have a category instead of reverting to the post title.
• Updated: The feature box element has been updated to allow you to select the image source (featured/custom field/external)
• Updated: The theme’s Gutenberg integration has been updated to remove all the useless CSS files added by WooCommerce if you aren’t using Gutenberg.
• Updated: The theme will now always load the utility framework CSS in the Gutenberg editor regardless of the “Editor Styles” Theme Panel setting so you can make use of the utility classes and properly render theme blocks.
• Updated: The equal heights option in the customizer for the blog, staff and portfolio entries now uses CSS flex styles instead of javascript.
• Updated: The equal heights option in the customizer for the portfolio and staff post types will now apply to related items as well for consistency.
• Updated: The footer callout now has a role attribute value of “region” when giving it a custom aria label via the theme’s accessibility panel.
• Updated: You can now use custom fields for the Social Links element.
• Updated: The Image Banner element is now available when creating custom cards.
• Updated: The Video element has been updated so you can now define your banner image from an “external” source.
• Updated: When using the [[vcex_social_links]] shortcode outside of the WPBakery page builder the social links will now display in the order in which they are added in the shortcode.
• Updated: The Post Content element has been updated so it won’t display the “Blocks” option by default (it’s not really needed anymore because Total has an element for everything). There is a new on/off switch you can use to enable this function and of course if you had previously enabled other blocks the setting will display.
• Updated: The wpml-config.php file has been updated to include the Image element title and caption fields for translation.
• Updated: The Teaser element will no longer fallback to the heading text for the image alt tag because it causes accessibility issues.
• Updated: The Video element will now add the loading lazy attribute (setting added to disable).
• Updated: The Video element now supports sharing of YouTube shorts.
• Updated: When adding custom field based dynamic variables in dynamic templates, custom cards or Templatera they will display as simple text in the front-end editor for easier editing.
• Updated: When using the Post Cards element and ajax filtering or ajax based pagination the theme will no longer wait for the images to load via the imagesLoaded script unless the grid is using a masonry layout. This can help make it seem like the items are loading faster because they don’t need to wait for images to load fully.
• Updated: The WPBakery Round and Line Charts have been enabled for use with “Slim Mode” because the elements are useful and don’t require any extra CSS.
