Upcoming Changelog: 6.8.1

WPBakery Columns Bug: This update includes a hotfix for a WPBakery 9.0 bug where if you edit a column it changes it's default stacking breakpoint from sm to md. The fix is in the theme itself and will be removed once it's patched upstream. We will release this update ASAP, for the meantime if you edit any columns make sure to check the Responsive tab as you may want to move the width back to the sm breakpoint.

Added 15

  • Added: Goodreads social option.
  • Added: The ability to import a preset color palette and optionally assign it to the site colors.
  • Added: The ability to assign a color palette color to a theme color (accent, surface, text) directly from the color palette panel.
  • Added: Shade and opacity controls for global colors. Click the color swatch after selecting a palette or theme color to lighten, darken or add transparency while keeping it linked to the global color. Shaded colors automatically adjust in dark mode.
  • Added: Patch for a WPBakery bug that causes columns to swap their stacking breakpoint when they are edited.
  • Added: More styling options for the Heading element icon (width, height, border, background).
  • Added: “Bottom Border” and “Bottom Border Color” options under Customize > Header > General.
  • Added: “Contained” option for the Site Header menu when using header styles 2, 3 or 4.
  • Added: “Top Border”, “Border Contained” and “Border Color” options under Customize > Footer Bottom.
  • Added: Top and bottom border width and color options for the Site Header menu when using header styles 2, 3 or 4.
  • Added: An “Installed” font type to the Font Manager for fonts installed via the WordPress Font Library (Appearance > Fonts). Registering an installed font lets you give it an alias, so you can swap the font family later without searching and replacing it across your site.
  • Added: Total Theme section to Site Health > Info showing license status, API connectivity, update settings, bundled plugin versions and download diagnostics, so support can see the full picture from one copied report. Plugin update errors in the Theme Panel now link to it.
  • Added: New staging patterns: dev-*.domain.com, dev*.domain.com and stage[0-9].*
  • Added: Option to the Next/Prev Post Links element to set the Infinite Loop order (date or custom).
