UPDATED-Custom Field shortcode to add an extra check to make sure the custom field value is a “string” to prevent any possible errors when trying to display custom fields saved as other types such as arrays or booleans.
UPDATED-The “wpex_author_box_data” filter to pass on the $post variable to prevent issues with filtering author data when the author box is added via a WPBakery template.
UPDATED-Theme’s video parser functions to allow shortcodes added into the theme settings metabox video field (not really recommended but because it worked previous to the 5.0 update I added the fallback support).
UPDATED-CSS used for the WooCommerce gallery width to prevent possible issues with 3rd party plugins. The CSS used to only target the “.woocommerce-product-gallery” class but it now targets as following “.woocommerce div.product div.images, .woocommerce-page div.product div.images”.

FIXED-Opacity settings not working in Total WPBakery modules (such as Image Banner) when specifying the % symbol.

ADDED-Theme utility classes for giving specific border sides a custom color so for example if you want to give an element a gray 1px border you would use ‘wpex-border wpex-border-solid wpex-border-gray-300’ now if you want the top border to have a 4px width and use the accent color you can now also add ‘wpex-border-t-4 wpex-border-t-accent’.
UPDATED-Total Theme Core to version 1.2.3
UPDATED-Card meta box icon selector so it’s easier to view the selected icon and you can enter a custom classname if wanted (video preview).
UPDATED-Theme Card API so certain items will check common meta fields first (number, price, rating). For example if you are using the Numbered List 3 card style and want to display a custom number instead of a running number for each card you can define a custom field for your card named “number” with the value you want to display.
UPDATED-CSS for the “flip-drops-smallscreen” class to target WP classes instead of superfish and prevent issues when selecting different dropdown arrow styles in the Customizer (added in 5.0).

ADDED: Option at Customize > WPBakery so you can apply the Typography heading styles (h1,h2,h3,h4) to the Total heading module (screenshot) thus removing the need for the company plugin released in 5.0 to do this (note this only affects the heading module which is usually where you would want those styles applied, the plugin mentioned on the 5.0 changelog applies to ALL headings in all modules and grids).
ADDED: Image 1 card style that only displays the featured thumbnail and nothing else.
ADDED: Sidebar option under Customize > Typography so you can alter your sidebar typography.
ADDED: Code to the theme to remove the notice in the main plugins page asking to activate Revolution Slider.
ADDED: Vertical Align option to the List Item module.
ADDED: Extra checks to the Total Theme Core plugin for the category/tag display in the admin columns so if there is any error triggered by WordPress when retrieving the terms it won’t break the dashboard.
ADDED: CSS utility classes wpex-font-sans, wpex-font-serif, wpex-font-mono, wpex-inherit-font-family.
UPDATED: Typography Heading options will now target new utility classes “wpex-h1, wpex-h2, wpex-h3, wpex-h4”. Feel use these new classes in your custom code or when designing Custom Cards if you want to apply a specific heading styling to a specific text. You can also use these classes in the classname field for modules, for example if you have a heading set to display an h2 tag you can give it the classname wpex-h3 to make it look like your styled h3 tags.
UPDATED: WPBakery module to version 6.4.1.
UPDATED: Total Theme Core to version 1.2.2.
UPDATED: Icon Box module so when a link is added it gets added to both the header and the Icon/Image as it did pre-v5.0.
UPDATED: Slimmer output for the h1 typography setting which also prevents possibly conflicts between this setting and other settings that may target h1 tags.
UPDATED: WooCommerce template part at woocommerce/single-product/title.php to match their last update to this file which can fix some display bugs with 3rd party addons that modify the title output.
UPDATED: Blog 7 card to display published and not modified date.
FIXED: Issue with star ratings not respecting text alignment for entries.
FIXED: Custom Color option not working for the Page Title module.
FIXED: Heading design and margin issue with widgets when displaying custom widget areas.
FIXED: Bug with custom fonts registered in the Font Manager not working when selected in the Customizer if the “Disable Google Services” theme panel setting was enabled.
FIXED: Video display when used in the Feature Box module and updated the oEmbed output so it gets cached.
FIXED: Issue where if your testimonial thumbnail size was too large (on the default testimonial entry design) it would overflow and the meta details wouldn’t wrap (delete and re-install the Total Theme Core plugin via the dashboard for a fix now).
FIXED: Issue where if you set your body font or other heading font to white it would render white in the editor and not be visible when you have the “Editor Styles” enabled in the Theme Panel. We decided against making the editor take on the background of the site because this can cause issues if you have a site background but your content area is actually white.
FIXED: Possible issues with RTL styles not loading when using a child theme and added new filter “wpex_parent_stylesheet_handle” incase you want to use a different handle for loading the parent CSS file instead of ‘parent-style’
