Canvas 5.8.0

2014.06.24 – version 5.8.0

A big version jump from 5.7.1 to 5.8.0 but there are lots of changes here to be seen, too.

More to core WordPress

There are a few things that they’ve removed from WOO and moved back to the core world of WordPress. The WOO search is no longer and now search uses the standard WP search. Good idea.

This one I’m not sure I agree with just yet, but maybe I’ll be convinced. They’ve moved some of the header background settings to the Appearance –> Customize section of all WP themes. Hmm, so are we customizing the theme using WP’s core features or WOO’s? Does it matter? Don’t know yet, we’ll see how well it works.

I like this one, “Improves styling of header cart and search dropdown” as I didn’t like the styling of the search dropdown.

Here are all the grizzly details you can print out and read to your family at dinner. ;-)
