I see you mention about the gallery…will I have to put a new gallery item and add photos again?

3

No, it should “just work” :blush:

cheers…brilliant job

5

just spotted a weird thing I need look into tho…my menus are a global and on some of the pages they are all bunched together…I will erase everything on my server first and upload it again

6

The Gap setting is now hooked up for the menu, you’ll just need to set that, so pick a number like 5 or above and you should be good to go!

have a look and see what you think on the photos page
I click on a photo and it total opens the wrong album
also if im in an album and click the back button it takes me to a totally different page hahaha ill reload all the albums later gotta eat
I tried redoing a test page with galleries and noticed whatever album you pick it goes to the last one(album/gallery
also the same when I redone a test page

UPDATE! Needed to add a container into the background component.

Bug found in Background Component. When I put text in the drop zone of the Background Component with a fixed image background the text is not visible when previewed in the browser.

10

The new build crashes in my navigation bar as I adjust text parameters. Also previous set up text appearances have changed with new build.

11

Can you share your project with us? (via Elements Cloud), and we’ll get it fixed tomorrow (Friday).

12

Done, Also, it would be nice to have an overlay setting for the image background setting for the Background Component.

@dan There are some great updates in this release. But I’m stuck with a crash every time I try to go and edit my custom colors in the theme studio. I sent in a crash report and I have tried it multiple times and it crashes every time I click on the colors item in the studio.

This has me dead in the water as I noticed that all of my accent colors are now messed up on my site.

I suspect the problem might stem from the fact that I have a custom color palette named “accent” and somehow this is causing a problem. I had attempted to preempt having to change all mof my accent colors from secondary to accent by creating this palette. Might not have been the best idea.

gave it a try but did not receive code. It looks like someone else in a later post has this problem too.

15

gallery app needs some work methinks

16

Don’t panic, we know what the issue is! We’ll get a fix out in the next build (hopefully tomorrow).
