FixedCustom menu dropdown padding Customizer option was not working.
FixedCarousels not displaying the correct number of items on mobile.

You can now create your own custom Cards via Theme Panel > Custom Cards (sample video)
If you are using Elementor, we've got great news! You can now access many of the Total elements in Elementor including the popular Post Cards element (although we still prefer and recommend WPBakery).
Header styles that previously did not support a sticky header on mobile including the Vertical Header now support it! So you if this is something you wanted simply go to Appearance > Customize > Header > Sticky Header and enable the "Sticky on Mobile" option.
There has been a complete re-haul of the "Page Animations" (Customize > General > Page Animations). The functionality has been re-coded from scratch with all new classes, vanilla javascript, custom loaders, optimized for speed and more settings! It is very unlikely you were modifying this functionality via a child theme but if you were for some reason, be advised.
Updated The Bottom Padding on the #primary container is now removed for archives using dynamic templates to be consistent with the singular dynamic templates (new Customizer settings allow you to adjust this).
Various elements that display theme icons have been optimized for SVG icon support which in some cases required small html/css changes. The main elements affected are the slider arrows, modern menu widget and the accordion style menu widget.
Please make sure to update your Post Types Unlimited plugin to version 1.0.8 if you are using it for full compatibility with this version of the theme.
AddedNew Demo (Pottery).
AddedMany of the Total elements are now available for use in the Elementor Page Builder so if you prefer to use that builder you can still access the theme modules just like in WPBakery. This integration has been done in such a way that it uses the same output for the elements to prevent added bloat and allow for the same filters/hooks. If you don’t use Elementor none of integration files for Elementor will be loaded on the site (visa-versa if you don’t use WPBakery). More elements to come! (note: current and future Total demos will be based on WPBakery which is our builder of choice but will consider making some Elementor demos if requested).
