Added Gradient background support to various theme elements as well as the WPBakery section, row and column backgrounds.
Added Gradient text color support to various theme elements as well as the WPBakery text element.
Added Top and bottom padding size dropdowns to WPBakery Rows (General tab). These options apply consistent, fluid padding across the site and automatically compensate for row column bottom margins.
Added Ability to select from preset sizes (Small, Medium, Large, Fluid Small, Fluid Medium and Fluid Large) for the WPBakery inner column spacing.
Added Links to the theme documentation and changelog under Appearance > Themes when clicking on the Total theme under the theme details for quick access to these pages.
Added Logos Grid Style option to the Image Grid element, ideal for displaying client or partner logos. You can set custom logo width and height to keep all images consistent (to use immediately, delete and reinstall the Total Theme Core plugin via the WP admin).
Added Option to the Posts With Thumbnails widget to enable title accent color on hover.
Added The ability to link to the current post in the Feature Box and Icon Box elements.
Added Customizer option to control the pagination active border color.
Added Newer Kinsta staging URL patterns to the License Manager for activating the license in Staging mode.
Updated The Category Tag image overlay styles to work with non-public taxonomies.
Updated The color picker when used in WPBakery so it displays in an absolute position for easier use.
Updated Responsive WPBakery theme fields (e.g. Font Size) so empty inputs show placeholders with the value that will be used at that breakpoint, making it clear that previous values carry over to subsequent screen sizes.
Updated The Spacing element so it only has a single field for the size which is consistent with Font Size fields that feature a toggle on the side to enable responsive mode.
Updated The theme to auto detect if the current site is a staging environment and activate the saved license instead in staging mode instead of showing a duplicate license error.
Updated The license manager to treat www and non-www URL’s as the same site.
Fixed “Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly….” debug notice in WordPress 6.9.
Fixed Issue with the Custom Field input not showing your saved value when re-opening the WPBakery element edit window.
Fixed Issue with the Category Tag image overlay style displaying a debug error for posts without terms.
Fixed Issue with the Post Terms element where excluding a term would leave an extra separator when using the list style.
Fixed Issue with the “Fill Column” option not working with the Image element when the image has a link.
Fixed Issue with the Theme Button icon transform on hover not working with the Plain Text button style.
Fixed The default or custom pagination background color wasn’t working with the Gutenberg Loop Query block pagination.
Fixed The WPBakery “Color Picker Settings” module couldn’t be enabled.
Fixed Customizer issue where setting hover or active colors without defining the default color could cause the previously set hover or active colors to appear not applied in the live preview when re-opening the Customizer, even though they display correctly on the live site.
Fixed Post Thumbnail Grid Widget showing the selected columns field as a deprecated value.
Added: Fluid space CSS variables: --wpex-fluid-space-sm, --wpex-fluid-space-md, --wpex-fluid-space-lg, --wpex-fluid-space-xl, --wpex-fluid-space-2xl
Added: Utility classes for background-clip.
Added: Utility class wpex-hover-heading-accent which can be added to any element and when that element is hovered it will set the color of the wpex-heading class element to the accent color.
Added: New filter 'vcex_include_fixed_pixel_choices' which can be set to '__return_false' to hide fixed pixel choices from various theme element fields such as the Bottom Margin option.
Updated: The Post Terms element to pass the excluded terms and parent term directly to the wp_get_post_terms query so it will be available in the vcex_post_terms_query_args filter.
Updated: The wpex-row class to have a new --wpex-row-vertical-gap CSS variable to easily control the vertical spacing separately from the horizontal spacing.
Updated: The partials/post-edit.php template to include the CSS for the edit buttons in an inline style tag which is more efficient then adding multiple checks in wp_enqueue_scripts.
