Updated 17
- 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 19
- 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: 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.
