Version 6.7 Changelog

Version released on May 13, 2026

This update includes a new version of WPBakery that contains an important security patch.

  • Added New “Split Heading” element: easily create multi-segment headings with independent colors, font weight, opacity, rotation…etc, for each word.
  • Added Option to the Star Rating element to display the label after the stars (example).
  • Added Customizer option under Blog > Author to define the number of posts per page for author based archives.
  • Added New {{term_count}} dynamic variable which can be used in a custom term card or dynamic template to display the number of posts in the current term.
  • Added Basic styling for the WPC Smart Quick View for WooCommerce plugin.
  • Updated Total Theme Core & WPBakery Page Builder plugins.
  • Updated The “Add New” button for custom cards and dynamic templates in the WordPress admin to open the WPBakery builder by default if WPBakery is enabled, instead of Gutenberg.
  • Updated The Flex Container so the “Stack” options are under a new “Responsive” tab and added the ability to define the item alignment when stacked.
  • Updated The Button element so that instead of a single border field you can now set border width, style, and colors separately with options for default, hover, and active border colors.
  • Updated The Search Bar element: removed the ‘Stack at Breakpoint’ toggle so that stacking is now controlled solely via the existing ‘Stack Breakpoint’ select field.
  • Updated The crossed-out original product price was way too small on single WooCommerce products.
  • Updated The OffCanvas dropdowns to disable text selection, preventing the text from being highlighted when clicked multiple times rapidly.
  • Updated The License Manager to automatically disable “staging mode” when a site is moved from staging back to a live environment, if the live site is already registered.
  • Updated Ajax search entry template to use a script tag instead of an HTML5 template to prevent issues where Google bots might follow the {{permalink}} links in the template and report 404 errors.
  • Updated The demo importer screenshots to use WebP format for better performance and smaller file sizes.
  • Updated Elementor widget insert buttons now display the branding label (Total or custom) as a top-right badge instead of being shown alongside the widget name.
  • Updated The Elementor “Remove Upsells” functionality to remove a few new additions in the latest version of the plugin.
  • Fixed Issue where you could not select “Parent Terms Only” for the Term Cards element.
  • Fixed Custom border radius options not working with the “Minimal Border” button style.
  • Fixed Issue with the color picker not working when choosing term based colors (category color).
  • Fixed Issue with the custom page header title overlay color not working when the title style was set to Background Image via the Theme Settings metabox.
  • Fixed Issue with images and videos stretching when added inside an Inner Row with the Fill Column option enabled.
  • Fixed Issue with custom fonts not rendering in the Classic or Gutenberg editor.
  • Fixed Issue where using ‘sidebar’ as the element ID for a WPBakery column (which can be done in order to apply the Customizer sidebar styling) was messing up the width in the front-end WPBakery editor.
  • Fixed Issue with the WooCommerce saved payments list showing bullets on the checkout page.
  • Fixed Issue with the icon position (before or after text) not working with the Navigation Bar element.
  • Fixed Issue in the WPBakery front-end editor where editing an element that has the classic editor could cause links on the page to appear underlined.
  • Fixed Deprecated notice – trim(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated.
  • Fixed An issue where some theme elements were not adding rel=”noopener noreferrer” to links opening in a new tab.
  • Fixed Custom branding defined in the Theme Panel was not being applied to the Elementor widgets and editor UI categories.
  • Fixed An issue on RTL sites where themes initially installed using version 6.6 defaulted to a right sidebar layout instead of a left sidebar layout.
  • Fixed Issue where changing the Numbered Pagination Arrow Style in the Customizer wouldn’t refresh the page to preview changes to the setting.
  • Removed The “Staging Theme License Active” notice from the WordPress admin when the license is activated on a staging site, as it could be quite annoying. Instead, the theme now detects if it is running in staging mode when the site is not actually a staging environment and displays a mismatch notice in that case.

Changes

  • Updated: Optimized the code used to parse deprecated theme element attributes.
  • Updated: Widget titles now properly handle custom branding and fallback text for improved localization support.
  • Removed: Deprecated the WPEX_THEME_BRANDING constant.
