There are no special actions to perform after the update this time, except for the usual, such as clearing your caches. The most severe change was done to the OAuth process, which does no longer use sessions in order to improve compatibility, privacy, and security. If it stops working, just flush your permalink structure.
Note: There is an issue with the Litespeed Cache plugin (5.7.0) that can cause ESI nonces to be overwritten with garbage. If you use it and things suddenly stop working, that's why. Purging the cache can help, sometimes it must be done several times. This is not an issue with the theme but the plugin. The developer is aware of the bug and this should be hopefully fixed in the next update. The bug is a bit peculiar as no way has been found to reproduce it -- it just happens occasionally for no discernable reason, ruining your day.
Please consider supporting me on Ko-fi if you like the theme.
