Total - Responsive Multi-Purpose WordPress Theme 5.13

Added: Section templates – Pre-built section templates/blocks that you can insert on your pages to speed up page building with WPBakery (screencast). Currently released 69 templates but more to come in future updates. Section templates can be previewed from the page builder but also from the landing page.
Added: Flexible Container element. This new element will allow you to insert certain elements into a parent container that will display via flex styles to allow you to create some more advanced layouts not possible with standard rows and columns (screencast).
Added: Grid Container element. This new element will allow you to insert certain elements into a parent container and automatically create a grid with your selected columns and spacing. It will also automatically display all items inside the grid container at equal heights so it’s perfect for things like icon box or pricing tables (screencast).
Added: Contact Form element. So you can quickly add a simple contact form to your site without having to install 3rd party plugins (supports Google reCAPTCHA v3) – perfect for contact pages (screencast).
Added: New Section to the main Theme Panel where you can enter your reCAPTCHA keys for use with the new Contact Form element.
Added: New shortcode “topbar_item” which makes it easier to add top bar items like the Base Demo or the default top bar content without having to add spans (sample usage).
Added: New shortcode “cart_link” which can be used to display the current cart items anywhere on the site (new docs). Currently this shortcode will link to the cart page, but I may update it in the future to show a cart popup on click instead in the future. This element is also available in the WPBakery editor with some added options.
Added: Query option to the Categories/Terms Grid and Carousel elements named “Current Taxonomy Direct Child Terms” so you can display only the direct child terms when using the elements on a Dynamic template.
Added: Tiktok icon to the theme icons.
Added: Typography tab for the Toggle Bar.
Added: Customizer option to disable the Cart link that is added to the mobile menu by default when the cart link is enabled for the header menu.
Added: Customizer option to enter your Toggle Bar content (if you don’t want to use a template you can instead enter simple text/html into this new field).
Added: Customizer option to alter the Toggle Bar vertical padding.
Added: Customizer option to enable “Full Width” for the Toggle Bar element.
Added: Customizer checkbox that allows you to disable the Toggle Bar “toggle button” when the default state is “open”. When checked, the theme will display an “x” button instead of the open/close button so the user can only close the bar but not re open it (this allows for the Toggle Bar to be used as a more standard notification area).
Added: Customizer option to set a min-height for the Toggle Bar.
Added: Option to the Theme Panel to enable the WPBakery “Design Options” tab which is disabled by default in Total which provides a few extra settings for WPBakery such as the ability to control the column breakpoints.
Added: Option to the Bullets elements so you can choose an alignment for the items (vertical or horizontal).
Added: Option to the Icon Box so you can add borders to your icons.
Added: Option to the Image Banner element for minimum height.
Added: Option to the Text Block and Multi-Button elements for text transform.
Added: Option to the Post Cards element if you wanted to display a custom message if there aren’t any posts to show (screenshot).
Added: Option to the Icon Box and Teaser elements to set the border radius when displaying images.
Added: New “Colored” social style which simply adds a color to the icon for a minimal look (screenshot).
Added: Theme Panel option for “Widget Block Editor” so you can disable the new widget block editor in WordPress 5.8+ if you don’t like it.
Added: Ability to set the Skip to Content targeted element ID via a custom field named “skip_to_content_id” if needed for any particular pages, such as ones using the Overlay/Transparent header.
Added: CSS for the new Gutenberg query pagination block to better match the theme’s pagination.
Added: Theme utility font sizes to the Formats dropdown (screenshot).
Added: Image source option to the Teaser element so you can hotlink to an image instead of selecting one from the media library.
Added: Border radius option to the Percentage/Skill Bar element.
Added: Shadow option to the Button element.
Added: Gap option to the Newsletter element so you can add space between the input field and the button.
Added: Option to the Newsletter element if you want to “stack” the elements.
Updated: Bundled plugins: Total Theme Core, WPBakery and Slider Revolution.
Updated: Icons used for the Total elements in the WPBakery editor.
Updated: Total elements to support pagination when using the offset parameter as well as support offset when displaying all posts.
Updated: Schema markup URL’s to use https instead of http.
Updated: Customizer layout width options so that they also target the inner containers when using full-width Gutenberg group blocks and the centered Cover block.
Updated: Responsive font sizes in the Total elements so the theme will now use an inline style tag instead of javascript to prevent text from “flashing” on page load and limit JS usage.
Updated: Image element so if you enter 100% for the image width it will use width instead of max-width to stretch the image to 100% and will also turn the element from an inline-block to a block element.
Updated: CSS used for the Gutenberg alignfull class so it’s slimmer.
Updated: The wpml-config.xml file for compatibility with the upcoming WPML update.
Updated: The toolset-config.json file for compatibility with new versions of the Toolset plugin.
Updated: Total Element Icons will now display in the WPBakery Role Manager instead of the default WPBakery hat icon.
Updated: Theme Icons “Houzz” and “Yahoo” icons to match new logos.
Updated: Better hover styles for the Outline social button style (instead of an opacity on hover it will change the background color).
Updated: Cart link that is added to the mobile menu will now display the icon, number of items in cart and total price instead of a simple “Cart” text (screenshot).
Updated: Improved accessibility for the Toggle Bar button via aria-expanded and aria-controls attributes as well as keeping the focus inside the toggle bar element while opened.
Updated: Multi-buttons element to use flex styles to slim down the CSS needed for the element and fix potential issues with extra spacing added on the sides and below the buttons.
Updated: The Theme Panel “Branding” field so if you save it with an empty value it will now say “Disabled” for the field placeholder instead of “Total” to prevent confusion.
Updated: The theme will no longer alter the Tribe Events Calendar plugin’s accent colors to prevent conflicts with the plugin’s own accent color and ensure future compatibility plus it greatly slims down the code added to the site for the accent colors. The theme will automatically set the Tribe Events Calendar accent color to match the theme’s accent a single time when activating the plugin or when updating to this theme version but it will only be set if the Events Calendar accent color setting is empty or set to the default value, this will allow you to customize things in the future as needed.
Updated: Image Banner and Icon Box elements to include “External” in the image source options.
Fixed: Inner content will now remain centered with the rest of the site when using the Full Width gutenberg group block or centered cover block.
Fixed: Gutenberg Full Width blocks (alignfull class) when using the boxed layout to prevent them from going outside of the boxed container.

Added: Option to the Post Cards element to enable/disable the modal window title when using the modal link type.
Added: Image Title & Image Caption settings to the Total Image element so you can override the default for use with overlay styles and the caption setting. Also useful if using external images that don’t have titles/captions by default (update is live, you can delete and re-install the Total Theme Core plugin for these new settings).
Added: Theme CSS Framework to the loaded styles for Gutenberg so they can be used in the Additional CSS field and view the changes in the editor (sample screenshot).

Updated: Colors for various social icons to match updated brand colors.
Updated: Updated Mobile Menu Toggle so it closes when clicking outside of it.
Updated: Accessibility panel to use tabs to separate settings and clean things up.
Updated: Load more spinner to use an SVG instead of a gif so the theme doesn’t have to load an extra asset and also so it looks better when used on different background colors.
Updated: Improved Image overlays on mobile devices to prevent the overlay from showing when simply swiping up/down.
Updated: The Plus Icon Hover, Plus Icon #2 Hover and Plus Icon #3 Hover image overlay styles so they don’t display on mobile devices to prevent having to tap the item twice.
Updated: Custom Action panel save function to prevent actions from saving if they only contain empty space.
Fixed: Author social links potentially incorrectly using the wrong URL’s.
Fixed: Multi-buttons element so customizations to your button styles made in the Customizer under Typography > Buttons and General Theme Options > Links & Buttons will apply correctly.
