UW Theme release v2.12.0

Site Actions Dashboard

This feature is a method for notifying editors and admins of actions they should perform on their sites. More information can be found in WiscWeb’s related news post.

For UW Theme sites not hosted in WiscWeb, developers currently need to enable the dashboard using the uw_theme/enable_actions_dashboard filter. This may become enabled by default in a future release.

UW Theme updates

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where a Title block could appear twice on the published page when it was inside a synced pattern nested within a Group or another containing block.
• Fixed an issue where YouTube and Vimeo videos could disappear when placed inside a Stack block.
• Fixed the Date block in new post templates so it displays the post’s published date and updates when that date is changed.
• Fixed the Grid block so the maximum column setting displays the correct number of columns when a minimum column width is also set.

Design updates

• Increased the default gap spacing for the Buttons block to match the theme’s spacing and grid system.
• Removed the file-name overlay from Media Library thumbnails when selecting images from within a page or post, so it no longer obscures the image preview.
• Removed the special border color on buttons when placed on dark backgrounds and images to improve design consistency.

UW Accordion block updates

The following changes have been made to the Accordion block:

Accessibility and usability updates

• Removed the expand and collapse controls when only one accordion item is present, since there is nothing else to expand or collapse.
• Added unique identifiers so each expand or collapse control is correctly associated with its accordion content.
• Added aria-label support to Accordion groups so screen reader users can distinguish between multiple accordions on the same page.

Design updates

• Reduced the heading text size and padding.
• Improved the size and vertical alignment of the expand and collapse controls.
• Added more consistent spacing between accordion items and around the content.

UW Events plugin updates

The following change has been made to the Events plugin:

Fixed an issue where a past single-day event remained visible in event listings if it had previously been configured as a multi-day event.

UW People plugin updates

The following changes have been made to the People plugin:

• Fixed an issue where internal page links to a People Listing would land in the wrong position if the listing had not finished loading.
• Fixed a bug where categories with the same name in different filter groups could not be selected or deselected independently in the People Listing block settings.
• Updated filtering in the People Listing block to match UW Theme Classic:
  • After an editor selects categories under List Type, the listing only shows people assigned to any of those categories.
  • Those categories appear as unchecked filter options on the published page, allowing visitors to narrow the listing.

Developer updates

• NPM package updates were made to the UW Theme and UW Blocks, UW Events, UW Embed Blocks, UW People, and the UW Theme to Gutenberg Converter plugins.
• Added action hooks, filters, and template parts to make the theme more flexible for developers.
