CALSv4 Version 4.5.2
Version 4.5.2 includes a few new features that give you more control over the design of your website.
Features
- Custom Archive and Search Results Templates
We’ve redesigned the search results and archive pages using the block editor. You can now go into Appearance > Design > Patterns > General and edit the Post Archive Layout and Search Results Layout using blocks for components like the title, excerpt, featured image, and date. - Content Only Post Template
New template for posts provides you with a blank slate for the page content, instead of automatically adding the post title, date, and image. You’ll have full control over the page.- To use this feature, create a new post and choose “content only” as the post template in the right settings sidebar.
- Note: if you don’t use the “Page Title” block on the page, the title will be added to the top by the template. This is to ensure accessibility, as all pages on a site must have an H1 heading with the page’s title.
- Narrow Content Width
New option will set the default width of your content in blocks to 800px, and the wide width to 1200px. This is to improve accessibility and readability, as most guidelines recommend text be no wider than 800px on a page.
This option needs to be enabled by CALS Web Services. If you’re interested in using this feature, please contact us. - Editable Posts Layout
By default, the CALSv4 theme will display the post title, date, and featured image, with toggles to disable those hard-coded components on a per-post basis. This new option will allow you to design a template for the post using the block editor using blocks for each component (title, date, image, author, categories, and more). This will be the layout used by default for all posts on a site.
This option needs to be enabled by CALS Web Services. If you’re interested in using this feature, please contact us.
Styles
- Columns Block
Style variation “vertical separator” for columns adds a vertical border between items. When items are stacked on mobile, the border is removed.
Fixes
- Color Palette
The color palette in the editor will now use a dark check mark to indicate the selected color, if the selected color is light.
