We made updates to several Default Widgets this week. If you have customized any of these widgets and would like to update your customized widget, you can find the latest code in the corresponding Default Widget. Please remember that if you have a custom version of any of these widgets, our latest updates have not been pushed to your website.


  • We fixed an issue which was affecting the ability to set the background color to some homepage sections from the Design Settings page in the Admin.

  • We released an update in order to improve the page load times in the Admin.

  • We updated the UI of the /locations and /categories pages to add the ability to collapse the content in the Country and Top Categories panels.

    Widgets Involved:

    Bootstrap Theme - Category Groups - Member Locations

  • We added a new Menu Item setting called "Hide Item". When setting is activated for a menu item, the system will hide it when the menu is displayed on the frontend.

  • We fixed an issue which was preventing the system from displaying the Live Design Tool on the frontend of sites after clicking on the "Live Design Tool" link from the Design Settings page in the Admin.

  • We created a new set of "Hero Title Text" Design Settings called "Main Title Text Align" and "Sub-Title Text Align". These new settings control the alignment of the Main Title and Sub Title of the Hero Section of the homepage.
