Reign Theme v8.0.8
2026-10-07
- New The search results page now also lists matching BuddyNext members, spaces, activity and hashtags, and MediaVerse media and documents, each with a "See all" link to that plugin's own search. Results respect each plugin's privacy rules.
- New When BuddyNext is active, the header search opens the BuddyNext community search.
- New Left panel "Start Below Header" option. The panel then sits under the header and ends at the footer.
- New Separate tablet width control for the mobile menu panel.
- New Dark-mode styles for IdeaPush boards, forms, filter dropdowns and popups.
- New theme.json adds shadow presets and root-padding-aware alignments, so full-width blocks line up with the page gutter.
- Improve Replaced the FitVids, scrollUp, mCustomScrollbar and jQuery Cookie scripts with native CSS and JavaScript, so every page loads four fewer scripts.
- Improve The Customizer opens faster: widget areas use the classic widget forms, and only the active colour scheme's colour controls are loaded.
- Improve The mobile menu panel behaves as an accessible dialog: focus moves into it, stays inside it, Escape closes it, and focus returns to the toggle.
- Improve The left panel toggle announces its name and open state, and collapsed panel labels show on keyboard focus.
- Fix SVG mobile logos are no longer cropped by the desktop logo minimum width.
- Fix The scroll-to-top button keeps its size and shows correctly when main.css is deferred or blocked, instead of ballooning or painting as a solid black circle.
- Fix The Sticky Topbar setting works again.
- Fix The Background Video upload control renders in the Customizer.
- Fix On/off switches show their correct default state on fresh installs.
- Fix The member header switch setting is honoured for members with saved per-member overrides, and plugin buttons in the member header keep their icons.
- Fix The Groups widget "View All" link points to the real Groups directory.
- Fix Reign Custom Settings fields stack correctly when the block editor sidebar is docked.
- Fix The PeepSo Layout page template is hidden when PeepSo is inactive, and PeepSo profile pages no longer log a PHP deprecation notice.
- Fix The Extend screen labels installed products correctly and shows Activate for installed but inactive plugins.
- Fix With BuddyNext active, its page shell no longer sits under the left panel, the mobile header icons stay reachable, and the scroll-to-top button sits below its overlays.
- Fix Theme form focus and placeholder styles no longer leak into BuddyNext and WP Career Board form fields.
- Fix wpForo dark mode has readable active tabs, hover states, buttons, previews and navigation.
- Fix IdeaPush form fields use dark scrollbars on Windows and Linux in dark mode.
- Fix The BuddyPress sidebar no longer logs PHP warnings when BuddyPress pages are not assigned.
- Dev New filters reign_search_exclude_post_types and reign_search_post_types adjust which post types the search page returns. Default is unchanged from WordPress core.
- Dev New filters reign_search_federation, reign_search_federation_providers and reign_search_federation_excluded_providers turn federated search off or change its sources.
- Dev Replaced the deprecated get_page_by_title() call in the left panel.
