Version 5.16 Changelog

Version released on Jun 11, 2024

Added 6

  • Added: 🎨 New Custom color picker allows you to choose from the theme’s color scheme colors, accent and your custom color palette colors from any theme setting. This means you can assign colors anywhere and control them globally! Plus, you can now access alpha transparency colors in the Customizer.
  • Added: You can now select “Transparent” when setting custom colors in the Customizer or WPBakery theme elements.
  • Added: Option to control the max width for the WooCommerce cart thumbnail.
  • Added: New Health Check to ensure your theme license is active and you are receiving update notifications.
  • Added: Customizer option to the Custom Login panel to disable the WordPress Language Switcher.
  • Added: Extra checks to the Font Manager so only users with the “edit_theme_options” capabilities can manage the fonts.

Updated 12

  • Updated: Slider Revolution.
  • Updated: You can now use the theme’s global font sizes (sm,md,lg,xl,2xl,3xl,4xl,5xl,6xl,7x) in the Customizer’s Typography panel to keep consistency across your site.
  • Updated: The Theme Settings meta box now uses the WPEX_Meta_Factory class instead of it’s own separate code for consistency and to keep things DRY.
  • Updated: The Theme Settings meta box now uses buttons for various default/on/off settings instead of the select dropdown.
  • Updated: The theme will no longer apply custom editor styles to all tinyMCE editors to prevent conflicts with plugins such as ACF and Elementor. Styles will only be applied in the post content editor, Gutenberg and the WPBakery editor (there is no way to disable from WPBakery due to a plugin issue).
  • Updated: When modifying the surface 1 and site background colors in the Customizer they will now be applied to the Classic and Gutenberg editors when not using the “Boxed” site layout (so if you make your site background black and your text white it will match in the backend).
  • Updated: When disabling “Editor Styles” in the Theme Panel CSS will still be loaded for the theme’s blocks.
  • Updated: The “Query Specific Posts” Post Cards setting now allows you to drag/drop the selected posts to sort them.
  • Updated: Since Yoast removed their Customizer settings we’ve had to remove the theme setting to enable/disable Yoast for the theme which was located in the Yoast Customizer tab. Yoast has it’s own setting now in their own panel named “Enable breadcrumbs for your theme” which you’ll need to use now to control whether the theme uses the Yoast breadcrumbs or the theme’s breadcrumbs. When updating to v5.16, the theme will automatically enable the Yoast setting if the deprecated theme setting was previously enabled.
  • Updated: The Breadcrumbs element will now display the Rank Math SEO breadcrumbs if enabled via the plugin settings.
  • Updated: The Custom Login logo will now automatically adjust to fit so it always looks good regardless of the selected logo size.
  • Updated: You can now enter any value into the Custom Login width, top margin and logo height options.
