misc: all the widgets from the theme are now optimized to work better. The widget_builder class is now deprecated and all the functionality was moved to td_block_widget
misc: the video playlist now downloads the video’s metadata on render, not on save post. This allows us to use the playlist on the on click demos.
misc: the following modules of the theme are loaded on demand now: td_log, td_remote_http, td_remote_video, td_data_source, td_video_support, td_more_article_box, td_page_views, td_review, td_ajax. This means that the theme loads them only when needed. We measured a 10% faster load time after this tweak.
fix: theme animations were incompatible with some plugins and the Visual Composer Gallery. The animations still worked but all of them looked a bit strange.
fix: bug with the demo loader – the dinamic CSS for a specific demo was still loaded even after the demo was uninstalled
fix: header style 8 top submenu z-index fix
fix: image aligment issue when using custom article paddings
fix: the Documentation url for demos was wrong in wp-admin
fix: we updated the ads links to point to the right documentation
fix: the Social Counter now shows the followers instead of 1 on Google. Please update your Social Counter to see the improvement.
fix: styling issues with the latest version of BuddyPress
fix: on rare ocassions with some plugins the theme was emitting warnings in the server logs like: “Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string”
fix: error that was showing up in logs when the Theme Panel was saved
