I was contemplating to make this a major version since this release actually changes the layout (if you want), but it still is mostly under the hood. Nobody can force me, so patch level it is. The privilege when you do everything by yourself. Alone. *sniff*

Please consider supporting me on Ko-fi if you pity me.

Highlight: Customizer

One of the last yet major pain points remaining is lacking customization. Sure, you can change all the colors, but this essentially requires a professional to do right. You wouldn't believe how much you can mess this up. Anyway, this is about the layout, notably the header. By default, Fictioneer needs a large header image to look good. That sucks, because where to get one? And modifying the layout via actions and filters is not trivial for someone who just wants to publish their stories online.

No longer! You can now choose between different header styles! All three of them! Four, if you count none. While still not much, one of the new options works without a header image. Just a good plain ol' title, no art required. And the navigation bar has a different mobile style as well. To top it off, I added some CSS snippets for customization to the installation guide. Which was a lot easier than coding options for them, too. I'm not adding toggles and sliders for every possible style property, there's hundreds of them!

Release Notes

  • New: Customizer option to change the header style
  • New: Customizer option to change the mobile navigation style
  • Improved: The data-mode attribute will now be set to "dark" in dark mode (instead of being empty)
  • Removed: Several superfluous constants that copied theme options which were auto-loaded anyway
