Version 6.2 Changelog

Version released on Mar 17, 2025

This update includes a modified version of WPBakery with 2 added fixes. One is to prevent a critical error when previewing posts when revisions are disabled (which is the default for WPEngine sites) and another to prevent issues with the WPBakery design options when using the TranslatePress plugin. If you own your own license of WPBakery I recommend updating the plugin to version 8.3 through the theme and not via the plugin's auto updates.

Added 5

  • Added: Extra settings to the Modern Menu widget (style, highlight active page, show arrows, show descriptions, hide drop-downs…etc) – select the new “Clean” style and enable the new “Hide Dropdowns” option for a design similar to the theme docs sidebar menu. This widget is now also available in WPBakery, Elementor and Gutenberg (Sidebar Menu Widget) – so it can be used without having to create a widgetized area.
  • Added: Animation Trigger option for the WPBakery background slider to choose when the animation should start (Page Load or Scrolled into view).
  • Added: Loop on/off switch for the WPBakery background slider.
  • Added: Backup function to the Import/Export page – when reseting your settings, the theme will save a backup for 24hrs. If the settings were accidentally deleted they can be easily and quickly restored.
  • Added: Typography settings to the Teaser element for use with Elementor.

Updated 8

  • Updated: WPBakery, Templatera & Slider Revolution Plugins.
  • Updated: You can set a single image for the WPBakery background slider and it will work.
  • Updated: Renamed the “Modern Sidebar Menu” to “Sidebar Menu”.
  • Updated: The newly deprecated WPBakery Google Maps element (WPBakery added a new Google map element to replace it) will be de-registered when Slim Mode is enabled and the theme was first installed using version 6.2 or later.
  • Updated: When using a pre-set theme card style for your blog archives, that has a read more button, you can now modify the read more text via the customizer.
  • Updated: When using the milestone element and the animation is disabled you can now enter any character into the number field (not just numbers).
  • Updated: Optimized the demo importer when used to import Elementor demos. The Synergy demo is our first Elementor demo. We’ll be converting more of the older demos and all new demos will be available for both WPBakery & Elementor (we have quite a few new demos coming soon!)
  • Updated: When using the full screen dropdown mobile menu style, background scrolling will be disabled while the menu is open.
