  • UpdatedThe Gutenberg “Separator” element has been updated so the design matches the theme design for consistency.
  • UpdatedVideo backgrounds, parallax backgrounds, overlays and section dividers are now added before inner content to remove the need for custom indexes which slims down the CSS and prevents some conflicts.
  • UpdatedThe theme now removes the “classic-theme” CSS file from the site, which for some reason WordPress thought it should be loaded on every site.
  • UpdatedWhen using the “Active Term” and the Ajax grid filter via the Navigation Bar element, the theme will now reset the default “Include Terms” option in the Post Cards element to allow you to setup a filter where you have an active category but the other categories can still load items not related to the default active term.

  • UpdatedWhen using the “Active Term” option in the Navigation Bar element, the active term will be moved to the front so it’s the first item in the navigation bar.
  • UpdatedThe Demo import will now display a tag on the top right of each item to let you know if the demo requires a specific builder (WPBakery, Elementor or Gutenberg) – currently we only offer WPBakery demos but we may consider adding Gutenberg/Elementor based demos in the future if we get requests for this.
  • UpdatedCustom “Access” functions added via a child theme will now display in a select dropdown for the WPBakery Section and Row elements so you don’t have to remember them.
  • UpdatedThe Navigation bar element when used as a show/hide or masonry filter will now use the link as the filter term if it starts with a # symbol. For example if you add a link using #tag-1 the filter will display any items that have the classname tag-1. This will allow you to create custom filters that aren’t necessarily related to built-in taxonomies.
  • UpdatedYou can no longer select standard pages for your Header/Footer builder templates (if you had previously set one don’t worry they will still work, this only applies when setting the value for the first time).
