The Official Blog for LifterLMS Contributors

Layout Settings

• Blog posts and blog archive pages now have a separate default layout setting. You can, therefore, use a completely customized layout for your blog than for the rest of your site.
• Courses, Lessons, Quizzes, Memberships, Posts, and Pages all have custom layout settings which can override the default site layout settings.
• Lessons will automatically inherit their course’s layout settings unless explicitly overriden

Fixes and Updates

• LifterLMS Certificates will never display sidebars
• Added a new “Button” subheading to LifterLMS Product Archive settings screen.
• Changed LifterLMS Product Archive Tile Footer Border language. Previously said “Top Border” but styles actually applied to the entire border. Now the label correctly states the settings purpose
• Fixed directory name of Metaboxes directory so that custom metaboxes will properly load on servers that couldn’t load them because of case sensitivity. Was “MetaBoxes”, now “Metaboxes”.

Updates

• Site Logo in header is now a clickable link back to the site’s home page url to match the functionality of the site title when no logo is displayed.
• New site header background image options are available for controlling the behavior and positioning of the uploaded image! See Header Settings Documention for more info.
• New site header background color option is available. See Header Settings Documention for more info.
• New site footer & site info options
  • Font Color
  • Link & Link Hover Color
  • Widget Title Cover (footer only because no widget functionality is available for the site info section)
• Added a css class .widget-title to all Widget Title H2 elements in all widget areas

Fixes

• Added CSS selector properly target “My Meberships” title area styles.
• Fixed a setting title “Section Title Padding Right” which was supposed to be “Section Padding Right” on the “LifterLMS Account” LaunchPad settings tab
• LifterLMS Account Navigation Link Seperator option was attached to a filter that didn’t exist. Updated the filter to attach to a LifterLMS filter which does exist. Problem solved!
• LifterLMS Course and Lesson sidebars will now be properly registered with the same sidebar settings as the other LaunchPad sidebars to prevent visual discrepencies between them. This update relies on a new filter available in LifterLMS 2.6.2. Please update both to complete this resolution.
