UPDATED: Optimized the javascript used for module background and color hovers and responsive font sizes

ADDED: Author bio module for the page builder for use with dynamic templates
ADDED: New option under the Theme Panel to enable “Thumbnail Format Icons” which will display the post format (video, audio, gallery, image, standard, quote) icon over the featured image. Enabling this function will do so globally so the icons will be shown on your main blog, categories, tags, related items

ADDED: Start value option to the Total milestone (note: if the value is greater then the value entered for your Number field then it will count down instead of up)
ADDED: New filter (technically an action hook) named “wpex_entry_media_after” so you can insert anything after any post media entry
ADDED: New filter “wpex_search_action” so you can easily alter the searchform’s action attribute used in the theme’s header and mobile menu
ADDED: New filter named “vcex_supports_advanced_parallax” to allow you to disable the Total advanced row parallax background settings – disabled by default when the Massive Addons plugin is enabled to prevent conflicts
ADDED: Border option to the Total button module
ADDED: Local scroll option to the multi-buttons module
ADDED: New filter “wpex_footer_widget_col_classes” for easily tweaking the footer widget column classes (for example if you want to add custom responsive column classes).
ADDED: Option to the page builder row settings so you can quickly disable the bottom margin on all columns inside the row
ADDED: New filters “wpex_responsive_video_wrap” and “wpex_responsive_audio_wrap” which you can set to false if you want to remove the default theme’s responsive video and audio wrappers used for post entries and featured media blocks
ADDED: Email option to social sharing options (disabled by default must enable in the Customizer) and updated the links to use nofollow rel tags and ADDED: aria-hidden tags to the font icons
UPDATED: CSS for the main layout classes so the main “content-area” element does not have a default width. This is to prevent issues when adding new custom layouts via the “wpex_get_post_layouts” filter and it also slims down the CSS used for layouts
UPDATED: The header menu search dropdown function – previously the menu element was always inserted directly into the header element which means javascript was needed to position it on certain header styles and the dropdown search style wasn’t supported for all header styles. Now the dropdown will only be directly in the header for header style 1 but it will be a part of the search icon li element for all other header styles which means no more js is needed and it’s better optimized now. This also means you can use the dropdown search style for the vertical header style.
UPDATED: Letter spacing settings in page builder modules to accept em values
UPDATED: Total countdown builder module html output to make it easier to style the countdown however you want via CSS and removed leading zeros from the numbers
UPDATED: Page builder row “full width on tablets” setting so it doesn’t affect any grid modules added inside the rows
UPDATED: The total custom excerpts function to make use of the “get_the_excerpt” filter when showing custom excerpts
UPDATED: Spacing module to accept em values
UPDATED: Skip to content accessibility button design to be cleaner and match more “standard” skip to content links used on popular sites
UPDATED: Improved accessibility for numbered pagination links
UPDATED: Archive images without alt tags will no longer revert to post tiles, image title, image caption…etc and will simply display an empty alt tag. This change was made for accessibility reasons. Single post featured images will continue using the post title for the alt for SEO reasons and because these images don’t have a link around them with a title tag.
