August 2020 Update

• Editor Classes
  You will now be able to add classes to almost any part of the editor! These classes are set up independently for pages, posts and each type of widget. You can define specific classes as you add elements to the site. Customers can later choose those classes when adding new elements to their site to get similar formatting. There is a dashboard in the back to manage it all as well.

• Create New Pages from Content Templates
  You can create and save content templates and use them to create new pages. The new page will have all the content areas, styles and content entered already based on that template. Perfect for styling different content sections with multiple pages. Customers can choose those templates to start from as well!

• Prefab Custom Post Type Templates
  We have added a few CPT templates for common uses to speed up your development. Add the CPT template to the site and it will set up your CPT forms and create all the basic files for you. All you have to do is style them! You can also use these as a base and add/remove fields as necessary to customize your CPTs.

• Notification Center
  Adds a bar at the top or bottom of the site for special notifications. Can also be configured to be a pop-up window. These can be scheduled to automatically turn on and off via date and time. These were very common during COVID19 crisis, so we thought we may as well make it easy. Can also be used to notify users of upcoming auctions, sales or any notifications.

• Max Media Sizes 
  This is a simple setting to make sure the customer doesn't upload 13 Megapixel images. We just set a max width on all images that are uploaded to the media gallery. If it exceeds the set size, we use the image resizing features in WordPress to shrink the image to the max size proportionally. The default setting is 1920px wide (Full HD resolution). This is not designed to format slideshow images, just help customers keep file sizes down.

• File Widget
  This is an incredibly simple, but powerful tool. It allows you to drop custom HTML code into any widget position in the editor. This was originally developed for a customer that wanted a weather widget script on their site, but the uses are virtually unlimited. If you can write the code, you can insert it into the editor.
