Now the document title generation is controlled by WordPress with the exception of: * Tagline is removed for consistency with the previous title format and to avoid showing the default "Just another WordPress site" tagline in case it is not configured * The title separator that can be configured under Story Options -> General -> SEO is still applied - Added support for the wp_body_open hook - Other general improvements and minor bug fixes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VERSION 1.9.11: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Fullscreen slider: Enabled touch swipe events for devices that are detected as desktop devices, but support touch events (such as iPad Pro) - Prepared the theme for the future removal of jQuery Migrate from WordPress core - Fixed a positioning issue with the select inputs in the editor dialogs - Other general improvements and minor bug fixes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VERSION 1.9.10: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Fixed: WordPress 5.3 - inconsistent styling of the inputs in the dashboard after the new WordPress dashboard redesign - Fixed: Incorrectly registering a submenu page with an extra parameter in the dashboard - Minor tweaks/code improvements -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VERSION 1.9.9: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Fixed: Blog posts widget with column layout displaying the wrong excerpt in WordPress 5.2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VERSION 1.9.8: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Disable the theme's classic editor functionality in the block editor (Gutenberg) - hides the theme's element buttons in the Gutenberg editor (Classic Editor Block) and displays the theme's elements as shortcodes - Disable the block editor option in the Classic Editor plugin, as by default after the Classic Editor plugin is activated, it shows the Block Editor option as first option to edit posts/pages. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VERSION 1.9.7: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - WordPress 5.0 Preparation: Make the Classic Editor plugin required by default. This theme supports the classic editor only and a major part of its elements rely on the classic editor. If you wish to use Gutenberg, you can do so by not installing the Classic editor plugin, however please keep in mind that some of the theme elements might not function properly, as they were designed to be added via the Classic Editor.

It also allows the commenter to preview and delete any comments awaiting moderation. WordPress 4.9.6 automatically includes the cookie checkbox in the comments form, however you need to update the theme to version 1.9.6 in order for the checkbox to be displayed. - Fixed: Fullscreen slider background videos not autoplaying in some cases. Chrome recently released a strict autoplay policy which prevents the videos from autoplaying in some cases. We added an option to make the video muted - at this point the limitation does not affect muted videos, so if your videos have no sound, just enable the "Mute video" option of the slide. Additionally, in the cases when Chrome refuses to autoplay the video, a play button is added to the slide which when clicked, will play the video - General improvements and minor bug fixes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VERSION 1.9.5: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Introduced support for the upcoming WordPress 4.9 Gallery Widget - Fixed: scroll to top button not working on the latest version of Chrome - Improved the way the demo import works - Minor bug fixes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VERSION 1.9.4: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Updated the contact form reCAPTCHA widget to version 2, since version 1 is now deprecated and will be shut down in March 2018.
