!!ATTENTION!! After the update, please open and resave any pages with list templates (Stories, Chapters, etc.) to ensure the schema graph is properly regenerated. This is a follow-up from an earlier patch and should normally not be necessary but somehow is. Computers, am I right? Also, the [Only Edit Others Comments] capability has been renamed to [Only Manage Comments] and needs to be reapplied for the moderator role (or any other you use). Sorry for the inconvenience.
Gawd, that was quite a bit more than I anticipated. Mostly a behind-the-scenes update again despite some larger additions I will get to momentarily. Finally found a satisfying solution to the sticky stories issue when the meta field is missing -- which is a whole different can of worms a future update needs to address. Using ACF is coming back to haunt me, or at least bloat your post_meta table. This wouldn't be an issue if the theme were only used for the intended purpose and not community sites but here we are...
Please consider supporting me on Ko-fi if you like the theme.
Highlight: Article Cards
Introducing the new shortcode [fictioneer_article_cards] to show medium-sized cards for any post type, paginated, with lots of options you probably will never use. This is meant to be used as alternative to the default blog layout, that's why the cards are rather generic and have no extra features like the others do. The pagination is optional and tied to the main query, so you cannot use multiple at once.
