Changelog

All notable changes to the Elayne WordPress theme will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[Unreleased]

[3.4.0] - 2026-03-13

Added

  • theme.json: Border radius preset system (settings.border.radiusSizes) using WordPress 6.9 radiusSizes API — slugs sm (0.625rem), md (0.75rem), lg (1rem), pill (999px). Enables var:preset|border-radius|{slug} references across all patterns.
  • theme.json: Added xx-small font size (fluid 0.625–0.6875rem, ~11px) to settings.typography.fontSizes — sits below x-small, used for small uppercase labels and month labels in event patterns.
  • docs/elayne/BORDER-PRESETS.md: New reference document covering WP 6.9 border radius preset system, valid preset slugs, border-width conventions, and missing slug warnings.

Fixed

  • event-upcoming-grid.php: Replaced all invalid var:preset|border|radius and var:preset|border|width references (no such preset exists) with correct var:preset|border-radius|{slug} and hardcoded 1px border-width.
  • event-upcoming-grid.php: Replaced all invalid var:preset|spacing|xx-small references (slug does not exist in theme.json) with valid var:preset|spacing|2-x-small (badge padding) and var:preset|spacing|x-small (tag padding, button padding, date box padding).
  • event-upcoming-grid.php: Replaced var:preset|font-size|xx-small references with the now-defined xx-small font size slug after adding it to theme.json.
  • event-upcoming-grid.php: Date box blockGap set to hardcoded 3px (below minimum spacing preset granularity — valid exception).

[3.3.0] - 2026-03-12

Fixed

Pattern Compliance — Hardcoded CSS Values:

  • Replaced hardcoded CSS values with semantic variables in 4 pattern files:
    • event-upcoming-grid.php: Fixed 19px, 14px, 13px font-sizes → semantic variables
    • legal-hero-split.php: Fixed 4px, 14px, 2.25rem, 1.25rem, 1.125rem, 8px, 12px → semantic variables
    • page-coming-soon.php: Fixed 4rem, 1.25rem, 3rem, 0.875rem, 8px, 100px → semantic variables
  • All hardcoded CSS values now use var:preset|font-size|* and var:preset|spacing|* semantic variables

Pattern Compliance — Untranslated Text Strings:

  • Wrapped all user-facing text strings with esc_html_e() for translation readiness:
    • header-double-bar.php: Wrapped "Email" text string
    • legal-hero-split.php: Wrapped all text strings including "Trusted Since 1985", "Years", "Cases Won", "Success Rate", "Client Reviews", "Based on 500+ verified client reviews", "Schedule Consultation", "Call Now"
    • page-coming-soon.php: Wrapped all text strings including "Coming Soon", "We're working on something amazing...", "Days", "Hours", "Minutes", "Seconds", "Get Notified When We Launch", "Notify Me", "We respect your privacy..."
  • All text strings now properly wrapped for WordPress translation system

WP.org Translation Compliance — Pattern Text Strings:

Fixed

    • event-upcoming-grid.php: Fixed 19px, 14px, 13px font-sizes → semantic variables
    • legal-hero-split.php: Fixed 4px, 14px, 2.25rem, 1.25rem, 1.125rem, 8px, 12px → semantic variables
    • page-coming-soon.php: Fixed 4rem, 1.25rem, 3rem, 0.875rem, 8px, 100px → semantic variables
  • All hardcoded CSS values now use var:preset|font-size|* and var:preset|spacing|* semantic variables

Pattern Compliance — Untranslated Text Strings:

  • Wrapped all user-facing text strings with esc_html_e() for translation readiness:
    • header-double-bar.php: Wrapped "Email" text string
    • legal-hero-split.php: Wrapped all text strings including "Trusted Since 1985", "Years", "Cases Won", "Success Rate", "Client Reviews", "Based on 500+ verified client reviews", "Schedule Consultation", "Call Now"
    • page-coming-soon.php: Wrapped all text strings including "Coming Soon", "We're working on something amazing...", "Days", "Hours", "Minutes", "Seconds", "Get Notified When We Launch", "Notify Me", "We respect your privacy..."
  • All text strings now properly wrapped for WordPress translation system

WP.org Translation Compliance — Pattern Text Strings:

  • Wrapped all user-facing text in esc_html_e( 'Text', 'elayne' ) across 12 pattern files to meet WordPress.org theme review requirements
  • Wrapped all non-empty image alt attributes in esc_attr__( 'Text', 'elayne' ) for i18n compliance
  • Affected patterns: card-call-to-action.php, case-study-detailed.php, client-logo-wall.php, client-success-stories.php, hero-modern-dark.php, hero-modern-light.php, overlapping-feature-columns.php, overlapping-feature-columns-reversed.php, pricing-comparison.php, review-text-image-overlap.php, testimonials-grid.php, two-column-review.php
  • Covers headings, paragraphs, button labels, stat numbers, badge tags, testimonial quotes, job titles, and CTA text

WP.org External URL Compliance — Pattern Image Sources:

  • Replaced hardcoded external URLs (http://demo.imagewize.test/app/themes/elayne/patterns/images/...) with get_template_directory_uri() calls in client-success-stories.php
  • Fixes WP.org theme review rejection caused by environment-specific URLs in avatar images

Pattern Compliance — Margin Reset:

  • Added missing full-width margin reset ("margin":{"top":"0","bottom":"0"}) to outer alignfull groups in client-success-stories.php, client-logo-wall.php, and two-column-review.php
  • Corrects patterns that relied on className="alignfull" without the required block-level margin reset in the JSON attributes

Pattern Compliance — Hardcoded Font Sizes:

  • Removed duplicate inline font-size styles from hero-modern-dark.php and hero-modern-light.php where paragraphs already had semantic fontSize block attributes (medium, base)
  • Removed font-size inline styles and has-custom-font-size class from button elements in both hero patterns
  • Replaced hardcoded font-size:3rem, font-size:3.5rem, font-size:1.5rem, font-size:1.25rem, and font-size:1.125rem in case-study-detailed.php with semantic fontSize block attributes (xx-large, large, medium)

Pattern Compliance — Responsive Grid Layout:

  • Converted two wp:columns 3-column blocks in case-study-detailed.php to wp:group grid layout with minimumColumnWidth (18rem for phase steps, 14rem for phase metrics) for proper 3→2→1 responsive behaviour
  • Increased metrics grid minimumColumnWidth from 10rem to 14rem to prevent xx-large stat numbers from overflowing and overlapping at narrow widths
  • Added align="wide" to main content group in case-study-detailed.php so the content section expands beyond the outer constrained layout's default contentSize (740px)
  • Fixed "Start Your Project" CTA button textColor from undefined contrast to main (dark gray) so button text is visible on white (base) background

Pattern Compliance — Undefined contrast Color Slug:

  • Fixed patterns using contrast as a color slug, which does not exist in Elayne's theme palette. Root cause: WordPress core themes (Twenty Twenty-Three/Four/Five) use contrast as the slug for their dark color; Elayne renamed it to main but kept "name": "Contrast" as the editor display label, leading to contrast being used by mistake in several patterns
  • event-upcoming-grid.php: fixed backgroundColor:"contrast" on all 3 event cards → base; fixed backgroundColor:"contrast" on all 3 "Details" buttons → base (buttons on white cards now have a valid white background)
  • legal-hero-split.php: fixed textColor:"contrast" on 3 stat labels (Years, Cases Won, Success Rate) → main-accent; fixed border color:"var:preset|color|contrast" on stats divider → border-light; fixed textColor:"contrast" on "Client Reviews" label → main
  • header-double-bar.php: fixed link color:"var:preset|color|contrast" on email and phone links in top bar → main
  • page-coming-soon.php: fixed backgroundColor:"contrast-2" on countdown timer box → tertiary (contrast-2 is also not a defined Elayne color slug)

Pattern — client-logo-wall.php:

  • Increased logo image width from 120px to 180px for all 12 logos for better visual presence on frontend
  • Increased grid minimumColumnWidth from 10rem to 12rem to match larger logo size

Pattern — client-success-stories.php:

  • Changed outer section background color from base (white) to tertiary (light gray) for better visual differentiation
  • Changed main testimonial block alignment from wide to full for edge-to-edge impact
  • Replaced className:"alignwide" on secondary testimonials grid with proper align:"wide" and layout:{"type":"grid","minimumColumnWidth":"19rem"} for correct 3→2→1 responsive behaviour

Pattern — event-upcoming-grid.php:

  • Increased pill/tag group blockGap from xx-small to small for better spacing between location and detail tags (3 instances)

Pattern — legal-hero-split.php:

  • Changed stats grid minimumColumnWidth from hardcoded 100px to semantic 12rem for proper responsive column behaviour
  • Reduced stats grid blockGap from x-large to medium to prevent excessive spacing between stat columns
  • Converted stat number headings (35+, 2,500+, 98%) from inline fontSize style to semantic fontSize:"xx-large" block attribute

CSS

style.css — Safari Scrollbar Visibility Fix:

  • Added ::-webkit-scrollbar rules to make scrollbar thumb visible in the block editor on Safari/macOS, where overlay scrollbars render with a near-invisible light gray thumb on white/light backgrounds
  • Scrollbar track: transparent; thumb: rgba(0,0,0,0.35) with border-radius:4px; hover: rgba(0,0,0,0.55)

Technical

Pattern Compliance Workflow — Extended Checks:

  • Added check for hardcoded external URLs in src attributes: flags any src="https?://..." in pattern files (WP.org rejection cause)
  • Added check for untranslated user-facing text in HTML tags: detects bare text in <h1-6>, <p>, <a>, <button>, <span>, <li>, etc. on lines without <?php
  • Added check for untranslated non-empty alt attributes: flags alt="..." values without PHP translation call
  • Narrowed hardcoded CSS check from (font-size|padding|margin|border-radius) to font-size only — border-radius and padding have no WP semantic preset alternatives and produced false positives

CLAUDE.md — Translation Readiness Guidelines (CRITICAL):

  • Expanded Translation Readiness section into a comprehensive reference table covering esc_html_e(), esc_attr__(), and wp_kses_post( __() ) with usage examples
  • Documented what to wrap (all headings, paragraphs, button labels, stat numbers, alt text, CTA text) and what NOT to wrap (empty alt="", block JSON attributes, PHP expressions)
  • Added quick grep check command to find unwrapped strings before committing
  • Removed outdated mention of __() / _e() in favour of escaping variants

CLAUDE.md — External Image URL Rule:

  • Added explicit rule to the pattern standards table: never use hardcoded external URLs (e.g. http://demo.imagewize.test/...) — flagged as WP.org rejection cause
  • Added rule that all image src attributes must use get_template_directory_uri() wrapped in esc_url()
  • Updated pattern creation checklist (steps 5–7) to include translation wrapping and URL requirements before testing

[3.2.1] - 2026-03-06

Removed

  • Deleted assets/js/block-extensions/navigation.js — the dropdownSpacing attribute and editor UI panel it registered had no corresponding PHP render_block handler, so the setting was saved but never applied on the frontend. Dead code removed.
  • Removed the elayne-navigation-extension script enqueue from inc/block-extensions.php.

[3.2.0] - 2026-03-06

Fixed

WordPress.org Review — Navigation Submenus (Issue 1):

  • Removed openSubmenusOnClick, hasClickableParents, and hasImprovedChevrons attributes from all header patterns (header-standard, header-mobile, header-double-bar, header-social-logo-hamburger, header-social-logo-hamburger-light, header-standard-with-tel-number, spa-home-hero). WordPress native hover/focus behaviour now handles submenu visibility without theme interference.
  • Removed "prevent hover" CSS override block from core-navigation.css that was suppressing WP core :hover/focus-within submenu display.
  • Added ::before pseudo-element bridge on desktop submenu containers so :hover is maintained across the margin-top gap between parent item and dropdown.
  • Mobile overlay rebuild: Replaced opacity/visibility/height submenu toggle with display: none !important / display: flex !important driven by :has(.wp-block-navigation-submenu__toggle[aria-expanded="true"]). Submenu icon (.wp-block-navigation__submenu-icon) repositioned absolutely at right: 0; top: 0; width: 44px; height: 44px within the li. Removed chevron-moving JS section (section 1 of navigation-frontend.js). Removed dash pseudo-element (content: "\2014") prepended to submenu items in mobile overlay. Added padding-right: 44px on parent link content to prevent text running under icon.

WordPress.org Review — Template Part Area (Issue 2):

  • Registered "menu" template part area in functions.php via default_wp_template_part_areas filter. Resolves PHP notice: _filter_block_template_part_area(): "menu" is not a supported wp_template_part area value.

WordPress.org Review — Translation-Ready Strings (Issue 3):

  • Replaced all 'moiraine' text domains with 'elayne' in assets/js/block-extensions/navigation.js and assets/js/block-extensions/post-excerpt.js.
  • Localized frontend aria-label strings in functions.php via wp_localize_script().

WordPress.org Review — External Image Sources (Issue 4):

  • Removed hardcoded imagewize.com link from parts/sidebar.html. No external image or link sources remain in the theme package.

WordPress.org Review — JavaScript Prefixing (Issue 5):

  • Renamed all moiraine-* CSS classes to elayne-* in assets/styles/core-navigation.css (.moiraine-hamburger-large, .moiraine-nav-parent-wrapper, .moiraine-nav-parent-link, .moiraine-nav-toggle).
  • Renamed all moiraine/ filter name prefixes to elayne/ in both block extension JS files.
  • Renamed moiraine-linked-excerpt CSS class and moiraine-excerpt-link-settings panel className to elayne-* equivalents.

Changed

hasImprovedChevrons feature removed entirely:

  • Removed hasImprovedChevrons attribute and its ToggleControl from assets/js/block-extensions/navigation.js — no longer needed with icon-absolute mobile overlay positioning.
  • Removed $has_improved_chevrons PHP class injection from inc/block-extensions.php.
  • Removed CSS section 6.2 (Improved Chevrons, ~50 lines) from core-navigation.css.
  • Removed dead has-clickable-parents CSS section (~90 lines) from core-navigation.css.

Technical

  • Deleted assets/js/navigation-frontend.js (clickable parents DOM manipulation — no longer needed).
  • Added file-level docblock and inline comments to assets/js/block-extensions/navigation.js documenting the dropdown spacing feature, CSS custom property data flow, and enqueue location.

Fixed

Comment Form Submit Button Spacing:

[3.0.0] - 2026-02-11

Changed - BREAKING: Page template simplification

Template Reduction (5 → 2):

  • Simplified from 5 page templates down to 2 active templates
  • page.html → template-page (with title, top padding only)
  • page-no-title.html → template-page-no-title (no title, zero padding)

Template Pattern Renaming:

  • template-page-centered.php → template-page.php (slug: elayne/template-page)
  • template-page-full.php → template-page-no-title.php (slug: elayne/template-page-no-title)
  • Updated all template HTML files to reference new pattern slugs

Removed Templates (Breaking Change):

  • ❌ template-page-wide-no-title.php + page-wide-no-title.html - REMOVED
  • ❌ template-page-hero.php + page-hero.html - REMOVED
  • ❌ template-page-wide.php + page-wide.html - REMOVED
  • Pages using removed templates will fall back to default page.html

Padding Strategy:

  • template-page.php - Kept padding-top: var:preset|spacing|xx-large on <main> group (required for title spacing from header)
  • template-page-no-title.php - Zero padding (patterns control all spacing)
  • Templates provide structure only (title vs no-title), patterns/blocks control spacing

Benefits:

  • Cleaner template architecture (2 templates instead of 5)
  • Clear naming convention (page vs page-no-title)
  • Patterns get full control over spacing and layout
  • Full-width backgrounds extend properly to edges
  • Aligns with modern FSE theme approach (Twenty Twenty-Five, Ollie)

Verified - No migration required

Affected Pages (7 total):

  • Main demo (3 pages): Blog, FAQ, Services - using page-wide-no-title.html
  • Kafe demo (4 pages): Drinks, Food, Home - using page-hero.html; Events - using page-wide-no-title.html

Verification Results (2026-02-11):

  • ✅ All 7 affected pages audited locally with screenshots
  • ✅ Zero spacing issues found - patterns already handle their own spacing correctly
  • ✅ No manual migration needed - pages will work with default template fallback

Technical

Files Modified:

  • Renamed: template-page-centered.php → template-page.php
  • Renamed: template-page-full.php → template-page-no-title.php
  • Updated: page.html, page-no-title.html with new pattern slugs
  • Removed: 6 files (3 pattern files + 3 template HTML files)

Version Bump:

  • Major version increment (2.4.1 → 3.0.0) due to breaking changes
  • Follows semantic versioning for template architecture changes

[2.4.1] - 2026-02-11
