Version 3.0.0 of the Illinois WordPress Theme brings in the updated header and footer along with several visual improvements to correct page alignment and layout. This version includes various bug fixes to support WordPress 6.8.2.
New Features
- Updated header and footer reflecting the latest university branding
- HTML support for the V3 Builder Toolkit Code
Enhancements
- Improved controls for Section Navigation linking
Bug Fixes
- Corrected alignment and margins on page and post listing templates
- Rebuilt Image Feature block to restore image selection functionality
- Rebuilt Button block to restore link functionality
Upgrade Notes
- Image Feature Blocks: You may see an “Attempt Recovery” button when editing older Image Feature blocks. This is expected and will convert the content to updated, accessible markup.
- Button and Image Block Issues: If you notice unexpected behavior with these blocks, try clearing your browser cache.
- Call to Action Block: The “Blue Gradient” and “Orange Gradient” color themes currently display with a white background due to a conflict between V2 and V3 toolkit scripts. This will be corrected in a future revision to the Call-to-action block. In the meantime, please use a solid color theme option for Call-to-action blocks.
The next updates for Publish.Illinois.edu are scheduled for August 20th, 2025.
