Dropdown Type

The most notable is the ability to change the navigation dropdown type.

Up until now, the only way to activate a navigation dropdown was to hover over the parent item.

You now have two other options found in “Customize > Layout”: Click – Menu Item and Click – Arrow

“Click – Menu Item” makes it so you can click the entire menu item to activate and deactivate the dropdown menu.

“Click – Arrow” makes it so you have to click the arrow to activate and deactivate the dropdown menu.

Of course, “Hover” is still default.

New Dropdown Arrows

Our old dropdown arrows have been replaced with the angle-down Font Awesome icon.

If you’d like the old ones back, or want to switch to a different Font Awesome icon, just ask me in the forum and I’ll give you some CSS.

Back to Top Button

Another new feature in 1.3.24 is the back to top button found in “Customize > Layout” – it’s a simple feature, but one that a lot of people have expressed interest in.

Container Width and Typography Controls

You can now specify a pixel value for your container width and typography controls instead of being stuck with using the slider. This helps if you have a specific value and don’t want to use the slider to find it, or if you want to choose something outside the confines of the slider.
