Version 5.17 Changelog

Version released on Jun 20, 2024

WPBakery 7.7 modified how field descriptions work in the editor popup window. Previously the descriptions would display under the field, they are now hidden behind a little info icon next to the setting heading.

I customized the icon in theme since their design was horrible, but I still feel like it's very distracting to see those icons everywhere. So I also added a new setting named "WPBakery Field Info Tooltips" in the Theme Panel which you can disable to remove all the info icons from WPBakery.

Added 5

  • Added: Threads, Patreon, OnlyFans and Bluesky social options.
  • Added: New Theme Panel option named “WPBakery Field Info Tooltips” which can be used to disable all the WPBakery setting descriptions (which since WPB 7.7 display a little icon next to the setting heading). If you have experience with the theme and WPBakery and don’t really need to read extra info on each field, disabling the field cleans up the editor so it look much cleaner.
  • Added: Some code to the theme to optimize the new WPBakery info icon so it’s more accessible and looks better.
  • Added: Placeholders for the animated text element to display the default speeds.
  • Added: Image Fit option to the Teaser element for use with the Aspect Ratio setting.

  • Updated: WPBakery to version 7.7.2
  • Updated: Total Theme Core to version 1.8.7

  • Updated: The Under Construction redirection to use the core WordPress nocache_headers() function to help prevent cached redirects once the site goes live.
