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 Text shadow option to various theme elements for WPBakery.
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 Functionality so when you start typing a dynamic variable into a text field in WPBakery it displays a dropdown to easily choose one.
Added Align Border with Content on/off switch to the Column Side Border element for WPBakery.
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 – better placement, dropdown instead of modal for the color palette selection and new visible clear button.
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 WPBakery Column Margin element so it renders better in the front-end editor with a preview of the divider.
Updated Icons used in WPBakery for certain theme fields that allow you to swap from a select field to a text input or from a single input to a responsive input.
Updated The Table of Contents element so you can exclude headings by giving them the classname toc-exclude or toc-ignore.
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 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 Post Thumbnail Grid Widget showing the selected columns field as a deprecated value.
Fixed Issue where the Icon Box wouldn’t allow “0” as the heading text.

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 menu-button CSS to use the same background-color and background-image properties as theme buttons to support gradient backgrounds.
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.
Fixed: The Sidebar Mobile Menu background color was targeting the inner UL element (.sidr-class-dropdown-menu ul), which was only needed in very old versions of the theme.
