Upcoming Changelog: 6.8

WPBakery 9: This update fixes compatibility issues and introduces new styling to match and fix the WPBakery editor in version 9+. If you have your own license of WPBakery do NOT update yet. Please wait for this official update to prevent any issues or confusion.

Slider Revolution Security Update: Slider Revolution v6 includes a security patch; you can update via Appearance > Install Plugins, or download the latest version (6.7.55) from ThemeForest under Total-6.7/plugins/revslider.zip.

Slider Revolution Deprecation: Starting from this release, Slider Revolution will no longer be bundled with new installations. Existing users will continue to receive updates via the theme panel, and the plugin will remain available in the full ZIP download from ThemeForest. Read more about why Slider Revolution is no longer bundled and why sliders aren't always a good idea.

Updated 29

  • Updated: The theme’s global color picker design.
  • Updated: Bundled plugins (Total Theme Core, WPBakery, Templatera, Slider Revolution) now require an active theme license to install and update.
  • Updated: License API connection handling with smarter retries and a notice when a site can’t reach the license server.
  • Updated: Theme elements remain registered when the Total Theme Core plugin is active even if the theme is disabled.
  • Updated: Various select fields for theme elements to be a custom input field for greater control.
  • Updated: Theme Element fields in WPBakery to use numeric inputs with a unit selector. However, if you begin typing a letter instead of a number, the field will automatically switch to the custom unit input, so you don’t need to manually change the unit type before entering your value unless you want to.
  • Updated: The design of responsive theme element fields in WPBakery (such as Font Size).
  • Updated: The Visibility, CSS Animation, Bottom Margin, Unique ID and Extra Classname theme element fields are now at the bottom of the General tab for consistency.
  • Updated: The design of various theme element fields in WPBakery so they will match the upcoming 9.0 WPBakery version.
  • Updated: All select fields when editing theme Elements in the WPBakery page builder to use a custom dropdown component instead of the native browser select, in preparation for WPBakery 9.0.
  • Updated: The theme’s Icon Selector to include keywords for various icons making it easier to find icons without having to know the exact icon name.
  • Updated: The frontend editor, when editing a Modal dynamic template type, the system now checks for the custom width and applies it to the preview and it uses a blank canvas to improve visualization of the final output.
  • Updated: The theme removes custom Google fonts loaded by WPBakery in their editor to speed things up and prevent issues where Google fonts aren’t allowed.
  • Updated: Various deprecated WPBakery fields so if the value was empty the field will no longer display and if it had a value it now only allows you to remove the old value, not enter a new one.
  • Updated: The theme license key now remains saved if the license becomes unregistered, so it can be re-activated without having to re-enter your purchase code.
  • Updated: The AJAX Load More and Infinite Scroll methods for standard archives (non-dynamic templates) so they dynamically load scripts required by newly loaded entries instead of preloading scripts that may not be needed. Additionally, the javascript has been updated to remove the jQuery dependency.
  • Updated: The Custom CSS panel is now part of the theme rather than the Total Theme Core plugin (saved CSS is unaffected).
  • Updated: The Custom CSS panel to require the same permission as the Customizer’s Additional CSS, so it’s hidden from users who can’t edit CSS there (saved CSS is unaffected).
  • Updated: The Custom Actions panel now requires the unfiltered_html capability, matching how WordPress gates raw HTML editing. On multisite this limits the panel to super admins by default (grant unfiltered_html to a role to restore access). Existing saved actions are unaffected.
  • Updated: The Table of Contents element is now available in Gutenberg if you wish to use it on a per-post basis rather than in a dynamic template.
  • Updated: Custom SVG icon loading for faster performance when the same icon is used multiple times on a page.
  • Updated: The element grid design in the WPBakery Insert Element window.
  • Updated: The customizer header “Aside” settings now have their own tab under the Header tab instead of being at the bottom of the General tab.
  • Updated: Various Elementor fields to allow custom values instead of only using preset options.
  • Updated: The Social Links element to show the selected social media icons in the backend WPBakery editor.
  • Updated: The Toggle element backend view in WPBakery so the content is visible.
  • Updated: The Navigation Bar element when set to display taxonomy terms now excludes empty terms by default, a new setting has been added if you do wish to display empty terms.
  • Updated: The Social Links Spacing field to Gap and added support for custom input values, including CSS gap shorthand for separate horizontal and vertical spacing.
  • Updated: The Ion Box Icon Spacing field so it allows custom input.
