Total - Responsive Multi-Purpose WordPress Theme 5.13

ADDED New panel under Tools > Accessibility with some theme options to tweak the theme’s default accessibility functions
ADDED Elementor templates to the list of available templates to select from when using the dynamic template options in the Customizer for built-in post types
ADDED New shortcode “highlight” which can be used to add a modern text highlight to any text. Sample screenshot.
ADDED New filter “wpex_retina_resize” which can be used in your child theme to prevent the default retina image resizing (where retina images display at the same width/height ad the non-retina image would)
ADDED New filter “wpex_category_settings” which can be used to remove the extra settings from the category edit screen
ADDED Screen reader text for the testimonial star ratings
ADDED Option to the Image Grid module so you can define custom link attributes (such as rel, data, etc)
ADDED New function and filter “wpex_woo_archive_has_loop” for enabling the woocommerce loop on the shop/taxonomies dynamically – the function is called in woocommerce.php to check if the loop should show or not
ADDED New filter “wpex_image_sizes_panel” for disabling the Image Sizes panel if wanted via a child theme while still keeping all the image sizing functionality (can be used to hide the panel for specific user roles also)
ADDED Option to the Total Image Banner module to use a custom field or featured image for the background image
ADDED Image Hover animations to the portfolio/staff customizer “archive & entries” settings (same as the ones already available for the blog entries)
ADDED New filters “wpex_footer_builder_insert_hook” and “wpex_footer_builder_insert_priority” if you want to change the default hook where the footer builder is inserted on the site or the action hook priority
ADDED New filters “wpex_header_builder_insert_hook” and “wpex_header_builder_insert_priority” if you want to change the default hook where the footer builder is inserted on the site or the action hook priority
ADDED New filter “wpex_conditional_wpcf7_scripts” – by default the Total theme conditionally loads the Contact Form 7 plugin CSS and JS scripts to speed up your site, but some plugins may be coded in a way that creates issues. This filter allows you to disable the function if needed via your child theme
ADDED Checks for Hosted customers to hide functions/panels that aren’t needed for these users
UPDATED Browser reset so it does not remove the default focus styles on links (for accessibility reasons)
UPDATED Started updating core classes to use the TotalTheme namespace and re-structure core theme files a bit
UPDATED Sticky header javascript – slimmer code & more optimized + custom sticky logo will be pre-loaded on site load for a smoother transition
UPDATED Total builder modules to pass on the $atts variable onto the post thumbnail function for easier modification of images if needed via child theme edits
UPDATED Border accent color in the customizer to use new javascript for live preview
UPDATED Retina.js script to latest version (uses data-rjs instead of data-at2x for defining retina images) also fixes issues with retina previously not working correctly with infinite scroll pagination
UPDATED The way Total carousels work so they render after all images have finished loading to prevent issues with the auto-width setting
UPDATED Integrated owlCarousel script
UPDATED imagesLoaded script to version 4.1.4
UPDATED Easing script to version 1.4.1
UPDATED typed and countUp scripts used for various Total modules and are now conditionally loaded only if the module exists on the page (instead of being included in the theme’s minified js)

FIXED RTL issues with mobile menu toggle and sidebar mobile menu dropdown icons
FIXED Issue with the Hidden on Desktop & Visible on Desktop visibility options not working in some cases
FIXED Issues with dropdowns on the Vertical header style when the “fixed” position is enabled

FIXED PHP 7.2 WPBakery page builder debug notice (must delete and re-install the plugin if you need this tweak)
FIXED Incorrect tabindex on social share items and improved accessibility so they trigger on enter
REMOVED “tocca” javascript which was used for image overlays on mobile devices. Overlays now use the core touchstart jQuery event and also added a new PHP filter “wpex_overlay_mobile_support” to disable mobile support for overlays if wanted
REMOVED TouchSwipe and leanerModal scripts from core minified JS file which are no longer being used

ADDED: Min-width option for the multi-buttons module
ADDED: Icon display option to list item module (float left or inline)
ADDED: New filter “wpex_header_logo_output” to customize the output of your header logo via a child theme if needed without overriding the parent file
ADDED: Accessibility support for WPBakery Page Builder FAQ/Toggle so they can be focused on via the tab key and opened via the enter key
ADDED: The screen sizes to the visibility dropdown option for page builder modules so it’s easier to understand where the cut-off are
ADDED: Visibility options for “Large Desktops” (1280px or greater)
UPDATED: WPBakery page builder to version 5.4.7 (now with PHP 7.2 support) and Slider Revolution to version 5.4.7.2
UPDATED: List Item page builder module to go back to how it used to work prior to 4.5.5 which had some added CSS to float the icon to prevent text from wrapping but it caused more issues then good and only a couple customers wanted that change anyway
UPDATED: WooCommerce cart cross-sells now display on small devices
UPDATED: Optimized the CSS for the hidden on desktop visibility
FIXEDIssues with Instagram widget not working due to newer recent changes to their site
FIXED: Height option not working for the multi-buttons module

ADDED Aria-hidden tag to Icon Box icons for accessibility reasons
ADDED Quora to the social options (topbar, widget, builder module)
ADDED Filters to various Total modules so you can easily alter the output – for example the grid modules like the staff grid now have filters to override the media, title, position, excerpt, social, readmore. This will allow you not only to override any “block” with custom code in your child theme without overriding the actual file but also add custom content before or after any default section
ADDED New option to the Customizer so that you can disable the Total image resizing for WooCommerce images if you prefer to use the core WooCommerce functions or if you are using a plugin that requires it disabled
ADDED New option to the Image Sizes panel to disable Wordpress srcset images
ADDED data-no-lazy attribute to several Total VC modules to prevent issues with the WP-Rocket lazy load script (added to all carousels and sliders and added to all grids when masonry layout is enabled)
ADDED Option to the Post Media module so you can enable lightbox
UPDATED Main theme screenshot
UPDATED The “Badge” in the Theme Panel (explorer icon and theme version number) so instead of being purple it will match your selected WP admin skin colors
UPDATED Total mobile icons to use blue instead of the purple gradient (more professional)
UPDATED Header logo URL so while in the front-end editor if you click your logo it won’t take you to the homepage but rather the post/page you are currently editing
UPDATED Localized theme customizer options so they read as “Theme Settings” instead of “Theme Mods” which is easier to understand for most users – screenshot
UPDATED Total image modules (grid, carousel, slider) so when selecting to display the post gallery if it’s a WooCommerce product it will check for the product gallery images
UPDATED When customizing the main WP login form button if you set a custom background or color the text-shadow will be removed
UPDATED Previously equal height elements were reset for mobile devices but this can cause some issues so now it will keep equal heights on all browser sizes
UPDATED Overlay Header function so the header menu search won’t auto switch to the Overlay Search style automatically if site is set to the dropdown menu search style
UPDATED CSS for search results page so the thumbnail uses a float position instead of absolute position
UPDATED When using the Total Customizer setting to use the WooCommerce search in the header menu it will also be used for the mobile menu
FIXED Cropping issues on WooCommerce product entries with newly added WooCommerce products since recent WooCommerce updates
FIXED Issues with self hosted videos not rendering correctly on blog posts due to WP changes to the video shortcode
FIXED Issues with load more pagination button not displaying
FIXED Missing spacing for email share text between the text and link
FIXED Issue when using Equal heights on Total grid modules and masonry layouts on first page load where sometimes items would go over each other
REMOVED License requirement for the demo importer so if you are having any issues with activating your license you can still make use of the demo importer
REMOVED Default overflow hidden on stretched sections (hidden overflow only added when parallax is enabled now) this allows you to use negative top positions to move the row around
REMOVED CSS that forces blog entry/post featured images to be 100% wide which was added to make sure the design looks good by default and responsively, but was causing confusion with many customers uploading small images
