DANDELION THEME CHANGELOG ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VERSION 3.1.8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Introduced compatibility with the upcoming WordPress 5.5, including: * Fixed: Thumbnail slider not working * Added a section under Dandelion Options -> Page Settings -> Portfolio -> WordPress 5.5+ sitemaps allowing you to customize the portfolio items added to the WordPress 5.5 sitemaps. In this section you can exclude items from sitemaps based on their type and also disable the portfilio category taxonomy sitemap. * General code improvements and minor bug fixes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VERSION 3.1.7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Preparation for WordPress 5.0: Make the classic editor to be enabled by default, once WordPress 5.0 is released. Dandelion 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 select the "Default for WordPress" option in Dandelion Options -> General -> Content Editor, 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. - Load the Vimeo and YouTube video players in lightbox via https. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VERSION 3.1.6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Added support for the WordPress 4.9.6 comment form cookie checkbox. The commenter cookie is used to pre-fill the name, email and URL fields of the comment form when the commenter intends to post another comment. 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 3.1.6 in order for the checkbox to be displayed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VERSION 3.1.5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Updated the contact form reCAPTCHA widget to version 2, since version 1 of the reCAPTCHA API is now deprecated and will be shut down in March 2018. This requires generating new API keys - please refer to the Contact Form Page section of the documentation for more details. - Implemented support for the upcoming gallery sidebar widget in WordPress 4.9 - General code improvements and minor bug fixes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VERSION 3.1.4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Major change affecting the automatic updates from the dashboard: removed the Envato Toolkit Library that handles automatic updates due to the retirement of the old Envato API (that Envato Toolkit uses). Implemented a script to install the Envato Market Plugin, which is the new tool to install automatic updates from the dashboard. For more information please refer to the Updates section of the documentation. - Fixed: Use https in the recaptcha challenge URL when SSL is enabled - Fixed: Responsive layout issue on the blog page when using the full-width layout ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VERSION 3.1.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Fixed: Tabs and Accordion elements not working properly with WordPress 4.5 - Code improvements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VERSION 3.1.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Fixed: third level drop-down menus not working on the latest version of Chrome (version 45, macs only) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VERSION 3.1.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Updated the PrettyPhoto lightbox plugin to version 3.1.6 to fix the recently found XSS vulnerability ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VERSION 3.1.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Added: Sharing buttons for the posts, pages and portfolio posts. For more information please refer to the Social Sharing section. - Added: New lightbox theme - "Pexeto Theme". It can be selected in the Dandelion Options » General » Lightbox » "Lightbox Theme" field. - Added: Option to change the default thumbnail height in the Portfolio Gallery page. This option can be set in the "Custom thumbnail height" field of the page settings section of the gallery page edit screen. - Improved: Replaced Timthumb and BFI Thumb image resizing scripts with the Aqua Resizer script - Improved: Replaced the image upload functionality (in the Dandelion Options page and portfolio item settings section) with a Media Library image select - Improved: Updated the Envato WordPress Toolkit library to the latest version - Improved: Design of the page/post settings section in the admin panel - Improved: Contact form - added a sender email option to avoid messages failing to be sent due to the Yahoo DMARC reject policy. For more information, please refer to the Contact Form Page section. - Improved: make the theme's custom editor buttons always visible regardless of whether the toolbar button is enabled or not ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VERSION 3.0.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Fixed: contact form sometimes not working when CAPTCHA is enabled - Fixed: Dandelion options page not displayed when theme editing is disabled - Fixed: Simple Google Map widget navigation buttons not displayed correctly - Improved: Back-end admin style improvements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VERSION 3.0.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Dandelion is now responsive - the responsive layout will set a fluid size to the main content elements, so they are resized proportionally according to the window size. This layout mainly improves the experience on mobile devices with smaller screens, as the elements are resized to fit the screen. The responsive layout is enabled by default in version 3.0.0, you can disable it in the Appearance -> Dandelion Options -> General -> Main Settings -> Enable Responsive Layout field. - Pexeto Panel redesigned: Pexeto Panel now comes with a fresh new design - Replaced most of the image resizing functionality of Timthumb with the BFI Thumb script. As BFI Thumb doesn't support an option to select a crop position (e.g. top, bottom, etc.), Timthumb will still be used in the portfolio sections when you select a different than "center" option in the "Crop thumbnail image from" field of the portfolio item. All the other sections will use BFI Thumb resizing. - Logo image: the logo image is now added as an HTML tag instead of background image, this gives us more control over the size of the logo on smaller screens and additionally allows you to upload a x2 image, so it looks sharper on retina displays. After updating the theme you might have to re-adjust the default sizes in the Dandelion Options -> Style Settings -> Logo section if you have set a different size than your default image size. - IE7 support: although the theme looks and works well on IE7 and includes various code improvements for IE7, version 3.0.0 of the theme doesn't officially support IE7. - Various code changes and improvements, such as: - Improved the gallery pagination animation: after changing the page, it scrolls automatically to the top of the page - Content slider: the slider height changes automatically depending on the current slide content height - Main navigation menu: when there are multiple levels of drop-down menus and there isn't enough space to fit them on the right of the page, it moves the drop-down menu to left side of its parent menu - Enabled touch swipe events in some areas (e.g. sliders, showcase pagination) - Improved the PrettyPhoto functionality on smaller screens - The additional styles are now printed into the head of the document, instead of loading them as a separate file - this will improve the performance of the page load - Many other minor code changes and small bug fixes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VERSION 2.9.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Fixed an issue with the Gallery post format - the content after the "More" separator was displayed on the blog page ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VERSION 2.9.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - WordPress Post Format support - added support for Gallery, Video, Aside and Quote post formats.
