Changelog

Version history for the Epiktetos WordPress theme documentation.

Version 1.2.0

Editable page and theme settings label release.

Added

  • Homepage, About, Topics, and Contact can be driven by editable WordPress pages while keeping the Epiktetos shortcode-rendered sections available.
  • Theme Settings expose labels for dynamic shortcode modules so site owners can adjust public-facing section copy without editing PHP.

Changed

  • Bundled Sample Content includes page-driven homepage setup data for clean demo or review installs.

Fixed

  • Blank space around post thumbnails in homepage and archive/listing rows by aligning media containers to the start of each row.

Version 1.1.2

Favicon and thumbnail UX maintenance release.

Fixed

  • Site icon and favicon handling from Epiktetos Theme Settings, including WordPress-native site_icon synchronization for supported raster images.
  • Duplicate or conflicting fallback favicon output when a custom Epiktetos favicon is selected.
  • Post thumbnail card scaling and cropping so portrait images fill consistent listing frames without leaving blank space.

Changed

  • Improved homepage, category, tag, and archive thumbnail consistency while preserving single post featured images.

Version 1.1.1

Admin Settings maintenance release.

Fixed

  • Admin Settings toolbar buttons, including Save, Reset, Export, Import, and tab navigation.
  • A fatal error in the Theme health check caused by an undefined demo_categories() helper.

Changed

  • Improved admin UI reliability and interaction handling without changing the v1.1.0 feature set.

Version 1.1.0

Article Voiceover release.

Added

  • Article Voiceover support for single posts.
  • Native WordPress Media Library audio selection in the post editor.
  • Lightweight frontend audio player with play/pause, timeline, mute, and speed controls.

Changed

  • The player progressively enhances native browser audio controls, so audio remains usable when JavaScript is unavailable.

Version 1.0.2

Sample Content release.

Added

  • Bundled local Sample Content package with posts, pages, menus, taxonomies, comments, theme options, and featured images.
  • Local WebP media assets for clean review and demo installs.

Changed

  • Sample Content creation is available from Appearance > Epiktetos > Sample Content and does not require remote downloads or plugins.
  • The clean release ZIP excludes macOS files, WordPress runtime files, local development artifacts, and PHPCS configuration.

Fixed

  • Setup wizard media picker behavior is preserved from the 1.0.1 repair, including logo and Site Icon selection through the standard WordPress Media Library.

Version 1.0.0

Initial release.

Added

  • Full Site Editing block theme structure with theme.json, templates, and template parts.
  • Homepage sections for hero, latest articles, category showcase, and sidebar/editorial rail.
  • Primary and footer menu locations.
  • Self-hosted font and front-end CSS asset loading.
  • Reader features for reading time, reading progress, table of contents, saved articles, quote copy, image zoom, and related content.
  • Front-end search UI backed by a public WordPress REST endpoint.
