= 3.1.1 =
- Fixed the front page breaking where an older copy of the theme’s stylesheet is still being served — by a child theme carrying its own copy, or by a minify, cache or CDN layer holding a cached one. The slider and the mobile menu were relying on CSS rules that only exist in 3.1.0, so with an out-of-date stylesheet every slide rendered at full height down the page and the menu button did nothing. Both now set the layout they depend on from JavaScript, as the slider did before 3.1.0. If you saw this, clearing your minify or page cache will also fix it on 3.1.0
- Corrected the 3.1.0 changelog: the pre-3.1.0 mobile menu was not missing. TinyNav shipped bundled inside the minified functions.min.js and did build a drop-down; the standalone tinynav.js in library/js was unused, which is what led to the mistaken claim. The 3.1.0 menu is still a replacement for that drop-down, not a first one
= 3.1.0 =
- Replaced the mobile navigation. Below 768px the old theme swapped the menu for a TinyNav drop-down with no sub-menu structure and no accessible semantics; there is now a real toggle button, expandable sub-menus, Escape to close and a no-JavaScript fallback
- Security: the per-post layout box saved whatever was submitted without validating it, and the FeedBurner redirect passed a stored option straight to header(), where a value saved before the option was sanitised could inject response headers. Both are now validated
- Security: colours are re-validated when they are printed, so a theme mod saved by an older version cannot break out of the style block, and the remaining Customizer sanitizers coerce to the types their settings actually hold
- Security: escaped output that was being printed raw, including the header logo URL, the page title and the Customizer control labels
- The theme’s JavaScript no longer uses jQuery. jQuery Cycle, TinyNav, cloneya, jQuery UI sortable and html5shiv are all gone; the slider, back to top and Customizer slide repeater are plain DOM code and load in the footer
- The featured slider honours prefers-reduced-motion, pauses while the tab is hidden, has a keyboard- and screen-reader-addressable pager, and skips posts with no featured image instead of cycling through a blank pane
- The Ubuntu font is bundled with the theme instead of being fetched from Google Fonts on every page load, which keeps visitor IP addresses off a third-party server
- The logo now uses WordPress’ own custom logo, so it gets srcset, cropping and a live preview; a logo saved in the old theme option is migrated automatically
- Added block editor support: block styles, wide and full alignment, responsive embeds, custom line height, spacing and units, and an editor stylesheet that matches the front end instead of importing the whole layout
- Added WooCommerce product gallery zoom, lightbox and slider support
- Rebuilt the Customizer control styling. The slide rows laid out with inline-block, so a row put its label beside or above the field depending on which buttons it happened to show, and the edit, add and remove buttons landed at different sizes and positions on every row. Rows are now a grid: fields and buttons line up in fixed columns whether or not a row shows add or remove. The layout picker’s thumbnails are equal-sized cards with the selection outlined, the homepage category list is tall enough to use, and the Important Links section header is no longer white on bright green
- Fixed the Customizer’s Important Links: two were plain http, "Rate this Theme" was listed twice, and three pointed at URLs that only work via a redirect — the support forum moved to colorlibsupport.com, the wordpress.org review page uses a layout retired in 2015, and twitter.com no longer answers at all. Every link is now https and resolves directly
