Nova Blocks by Pixelgrade

2.7.2

• Fix: post-format cards (Quote, Image and similar) in a Cards Collection no longer repeat the collection’s title, subtitle, description or buttons. They show only their own content, with the byline above the media when the collection places it there.
• Fix: a stacked card’s image now covers the card in Original and Fit to Row grids instead of showing letterbox bars.

2.7.1

• Fix: a page template saved in the Site Editor now lays out Post Content like the default template, so paragraphs no longer shrink to a narrow strip on the front end and in the editor.
• Fix: the Post Meta Discuss link no longer points to a missing anchor on posts without comments. It jumps to the comment form while comments are open, and hides when they are closed.
• Improved: with the theme’s page transitions, Nova Blocks scripts are set up once per page and released when you leave it. Pages no longer do more work with every navigation, and the header keeps the same colors as a fresh page load.
• Developer: the header exposes window.novablocks.header.refresh() and destroy(), and jQuery Bully gets $.fn.bully.destroy(), so themes can re-initialize them after swapping page content.

2.7.0

• New: Header Mobile Branding setting. Show the logo in the mobile bar, below it, or below it and folding into the bar as you scroll. The masthead below the bar paints its own background and keeps its spacing.
• New: the navigation’s call-to-action item now shows in the mobile header bar.
• New: each Logo block can choose whether to show the site title and tagline, image logos can be as large as the fitted wordmark, and header rows can show their own Color Signal background above the fold.
• New: Content Inset now sets the reading column in Sidecar layouts and scales down on narrow screens. The Small rail no longer depends on it. Sites that never saved Content Inset look the same as before.
• New: an optional divider rule between Sidecar content and its rail.
• New: Post Title and Post Featured Image get the “Extend over sidebar” control, so a Wide post header can line up beside a rail.
• New: Cards Collections get a Fit to Row media box and Media Alignment for mixed image ratios, can take a core border drawn on each card, and can turn off the card dropcap, which now follows the collection’s style.
• New: Action and Light surface Color Signal tiles. Action buttons follow the brand color when you switch palettes.
• New: lined separators get a Rule Weight control (1 to 4 px).
• New: Post Meta’s Discuss link can point to core Comments, with Avatar size and alignment controls.
• Improved: Post Content and Groups keep the content width you set as their reading measure, including beside a rail.
• Improved: aligned images and pull-outs stack below the text on phones and tablets instead of squeezing it into a narrow strip.
• Improved: Quote cards size text-only quotes to the quote instead of the screen height, and keep the quote’s links, emphasis and paragraph typography.
• Improved: comment dates, links, hints and the comment form use the quiet-text color instead of dimming with opacity, so they stay readable (4.5:1 contrast).
• Improved: navigation drawers and social icons follow the header’s Color Signal colors.
• Improved: Logo block images are sized to the header logo height, so browsers stop downloading the full-size logo.
• Improved: Group and Columns Content Top/Bottom Spacing goes up to 6 steps in half-step increments, and the spacing also renders for content that was never saved in the editor.
• Improved: active filter chips list each value separately with aligned remove buttons, and compact Search and Filters controls line up below the mobile breakpoint.
• Improved: Edit Mode shows the stored design in the inspector and toolbar.
• Fix: “Prevent duplicate posts” no longer makes Query Loop pagination offer empty pages.
• Fix: a Button’s own Color Palette choice is no longer overwritten by its parent on the frontend.
• Fix: Cards Collections no longer mark the editor as having unsaved changes every time it loads.
• Fix: Query Loops and card lists inside a grid column no longer overflow the column between 1024 and 1280 px.
• Fix: a page without rails no longer reserves empty rail space.
• Fix: separators placed directly in Post Content no longer collapse to zero width.
• Fix: Text wrap Around/Extend no longer removes an image’s left or right placement in post content.
• Fix: a colored Group’s padding no longer doubles up in plain Groups nested inside it.
• Fix: archive-type templates are no longer shifted and clipped in the Site Editor.
• Fix: paragraphs with legacy font sizes stay valid when the editor rebuilds them.
• Fix: Food Menus saved with Nova Blocks 2.0.4 or earlier open in the editor again without “Attempt Block Recovery”.
• Fix: block stylesheets are versioned by their own files, so CSS-only updates reach visitors reliably.
• Developer: wp pixelgrade blocks describe now reports the Color Signal attributes and the Group and Columns spacing attributes.
• Developer: the editor source no longer depends on lodash.

2.6.6

• Improved: Align compact full-width Search toolbars, mobile Filters buttons, and result summaries to the design-system content rail and spacing rhythm.
• Fix: Do not count internal pagination state as an active filter in the mobile Filters badge.

2.6.5

• New: Let Search facets fill their available width and let live result summaries use content-specific singular and plural labels.
• Improved: Keep full-width Search facets usable on compact screens and prevent plugin search minimums from overlapping mobile filter controls.

2.6.4

• New: Add optional mobile filter panels with active counts, live result summaries, and native clear actions for Pixelgrade Filters.
• Improved: Keep filter panels keyboard-accessible, use 48-pixel mobile targets, and give generated form controls stable accessible names.
