  • Category Page - Added a new Admin option that allows for controlling the speed for the Hover Animation on Category Pages.

  • Owl Carousel and Banner Slider - Added options to control radius for Banner Slider Next/Prev buttons.
  • Product Labels - Added a new functionality that allows for dynamic label construction with variables. Show your customers discount percentages for products with Special Prices or implement the FOMO effect by making it obvious when discounts end. Different combinations are possible and result in conversions going up.

Fixes, Improvements, Compatibility adjustments:

  • Custom Header - Fixed a Global Promo Message display issue that happened occasionally on slower connections when scrolling down the page before it was fully loaded and then scrolling back up to the top. The Global Promo Message would be displayed on multiple lines instead of just one.
  • Custom Header - Fixed a bug that prevented the Search icon color defined in the Admin settings from applying on mobile, on Header V3.
  • Custom Header - Fixed a Safari browser display issue on Header V2.
  • Category Page - Fixed a bug that prevented Price Font Size defined in the Admin settings from applying on the Category List Mode.
  • Category Page - Fixed an issue that caused Swatches to overlap with other elements on the Category List Mode.
  • Ajax Infinite Scroll - Fixed a bug that caused an inability to load a product collection when accessing a Product Page and clicking the back button in a browser after having initially filtered products using an attribute ending in the letter "p". This only happened in conjunction with the Layered Navigation extension.
  • Ajax Search Autocomplete - Fixed a display issue on mobile whereby the search container was cut off when using the Horizontal Search Results. This only affected users of the Pearl Theme and the fix entails defaulting to Vertical Search Results on mobile.
  • Email Template Editor - Fixed an issue that prevented Google Fonts from being added to Email Templates. Google Fonts now load, however, only on Email Clients that support custom web fonts.
  • Layered Navigation - Fixed a bug that that caused an inability to load a product collection when accessing a Product Page and clicking the back button in a browser after having initially filtered products using an attribute ending in the letter "p". This only happened in conjunction with the Ajax Infinite Scroll extension.
  • Layered Navigation - Fixed a small display issue that caused filters text to display on two lines when the label was comprised out of more than one word and the filter was set to be Fully Opened.
  • Mega Menu - Fixed a niche bug that prevented Categories with a Custom Link comprised of a Custom Block/HTML from being accessed in the frontend on mobile when the All [Category] link was disabled via Admin options.
  • Mega Menu - Fixed an issue on the Default Display Mode that, in some cases, caused overlapping when hovering over subcategories on the frontend.
  • Owl Carousel and Banner Slider - Fixed a bug that caused the Next/Prev text to show on Next/Prev carousel and banner buttons.
  • Quick View - Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented the Confirmation Popup from displaying on the frontend.
  • Quick View - Fixed an issue whereby the product price was not displayed in the Confirmation Popup.
  • Rich Snippets - Fixed an issue that would prevent the Product Page from loading when using the Full Breadcrumb Path functionality on Products that were not assigned to Categories.
  • Rich Snippets - Updated Brand @type from "Thing" to "Brand" in accordance with new Google guidelines for Structured data.
  • Social Login - Fixed an error that prevented the Analytics Dashboard page from rendering correctly in the Magento Admin.
