Changelog

Initial Release.

1.7.3 – 25 September 2026

  • fix: activate atomic elementor
  • fix: remove error_log calls and translate remaining Indonesian comments

1.7.2 – 14 September 2026

  • fix(widget): let the Related Products / Upsells “Products to Show” mobile value exceed the tablet value instead of being capped by it.
  • feat(sitebuilder): add display conditions to the Shop Product Archive part with Elementor-style options (Shop Page, Search Results, Product Brand, Product Category, Product Tag) and a searchable term dropdown per taxonomy.
  • fix(sitebuilder): wrap Elementor “WordPress Widgets” in the shop archive sidebar with the standard .widget classes so the theme’s WooCommerce widget styling (price slider, category/rating/brand lists, tag pills, search) applies.
  • fix(widget): make the Shop widget honour active WooCommerce URL filters (min_price/max_price, rating_filter, layered nav attributes) and the product search keyword (?s=…&post_type=product) in its product query.
  • feat(sitebuilder): add display conditions to the Shop Single Product part (Products, In Brand, In Child Product Brand, In Category, In Child Product Category, In Tag, Product by Author) with searchable term/author dropdowns.
  • fix(sitebuilder): use the captured site-builder post ID for the Edit Conditions button so Single Product templates save conditions to the right post.
  • fix(sitebuilder): allow multiple Shop Single Product and Shop Product Archive templates to be active at once (each with its own conditions).
  • fix(sitebuilder): make the Shop Product Archive “Shop Page” condition cover the whole shop archive surface (shop page, all product taxonomy archives incl. attributes and shipping class, and the product post-type archive) so filtered browsing keeps showing the template.
  • fix(sitebuilder): stop the blog archive override from clobbering product taxonomy archives, and scope the Shop widget to the current term on every product taxonomy.
