- Updated WPBakery and Slider Revolution plugins.
- Updated The theme will now display updates for bundled plugins in the WordPress plugin updater to make it easier to update them (it still requires updating the theme first – the function is hooked into the theme’s recommended plugin class).
- Updated The theme disables the new admin notice added by WPBakery in the latest update.
- Updated The theme disables the Add-ons tab added by WPBakery to the Add Element window in the latest plugin update.
- Updated Renamed the “Theme Button” element to just “Button”.
- Updated Renamed the Heading option “Add Design to Inner Span” to “Style Text Only”.
- Updated The Heading element to display the default HTML tag for quick reference.
- Updated The Heading element so the theme’s background color, padding, border radius and shadow settings can be used with all the heading styles.
- Updated The Navigation Bar filter functionality to support dashes in the ?filter URL parameter. You can now link directly to a filter by replacing spaces with dashes. For example, to link to an item named ‘Category One’, use ?filter=category-one.
- Updated The Navigation Bar when used as a filter, so that the mobile select empty text option is added with the disabled attribute. This way it serves as a prompt only and won’t break filtering as your first filter item should be an “all” link.
- Updated The WPBakery theme patterns are now requested via AJAX and cached in JS memory to slim down the DOM (this means we can add many more patterns without a decrease in site performance).
- Updated The WPBakery theme patterns popup window design.
- Updated The WPBakery theme header and footer patterns are now separated into a Header/Header Dark and Footer/Footer Dark categories so it’s easier to browse.
- Updated The License Manager so if the license was originally registered to the http version of a domain it won’t display as invalid when enabling SSL on the site or vice-versa.
- Updated The svg sanitizer to allow more attributes to support a wider range of icon sets.
- Updated The searchform shortcode to pass the shortcode attributes as arguments to the searchform.php file.
- Updated Improved theme logic for enabling a full sticky header for header styles two, three and/or four. If you were previously using the custom plugin, you can use the updated snippet instead which is much slimmer.
- Fixed Missing “New Template” button in the Header Builder.
- Fixed Issue with ajax filter caching not resetting the filter buttons only the grid when un-selecting an active filter button.
- Fixed When using the Navigation Bar as a filter and the mobile select enabled, filtering items on desktop will also set the selected attribute on the corresponding mobile select in case the user shrinks their browser window after making a selection.
- Fixed “Increment on non-alphanumeric string is deprecated” notices in PHP 8.4+ for older grid elements.
- Fixed Missing Height and Width settings for some WPBakery row divider styles.
- Fixed Issue where using the “wpex-col-span-full” class on elements added to the Grid Container would not span full width in the WPBakery frontend editor.
- Fixed Issue with the Post Cards load more button not working when using a Meta Query.
- Fixed Issue where adding a new license and removing it right away without refreshing the page wouldn’t deregister the license from the API.
- Fixed Issue where activating a license on the main site prevented access to the license panel on a multisite sub-site that had previously activated its own license.
- Fixed Some localized strings incorrectly ending with an empty space.
- Fixed “Alignment” typo in various setting labels.
- Fixed Issue with Post Cards ajax loading (filter menu or load more) when adding a dynamic variable to any field.
- Fixed The alignfull class so it takes the site frame border into account.
- Fixed Issues with custom SVG icons that have should not have a defined fill color such as the popular Feathers icon set.
- Fixed The border style option was not working for the Post Cards heading when using the Bottom Border heading style.
- Fixed If the theme is temporarily disabled and WPBakery runs an update check it could show an available update but it wouldn’t actually work (if not registered), the theme loops through and removes the update to prevent issues.
- Fixed The “Use Content/Sidebar Layout” WPBakery row option was not working properly when enabling “Equal Height” for the row.
- Fixed Extra spacing on mobile between the content and the sidebar when the “Use Content/Sidebar Layout” is enabled for a WPBakery row.
- Fixed When using the on click header menu dropdown style it would flip top level arrows on hover.
Version 6.5 Changelog
Version released on Nov 20, 2025
Changes
- Added: CSS variables: --wpex-100vw and --wpex-50vw which account for visible scrollbars and the site frame border if enabled.
- Updated: The Navigation Bar element so the data-vcex-name attribute value uses dashes instead of spaces.
- Updated: The theme will now automatically adjust the customizer settings if you have enabled the sticky header for header styles two, three or four based on this snippet (if you were using the plugin you can now use this snippet instead which will be slimmer).
