MinimogWP – eCommerce WordPress Theme 4.5.5

New

• Added: Product gallery, Vertical Slider: a new option, Theme Options > Shop > Single Product > Horizontal Thumbnails On, extends the horizontal layout the thumbnails strip takes on mobile to tablets as well. On a tablet held upright (768-991px) the gallery still shares the row with the product summary, and the vertical thumbnails column took a quarter of that narrow gallery column. With Tablet & Mobile selected the strip goes under the main image there too, and turns vertical again from 992px; the default, Mobile, keeps the layout as it was. The Pinterest for WooCommerce save button follows,……

Improved

• Upgrade notes: Stores that already show the cart drawer recommendations will see an add to cart button appear on each suggestion after this update, since the new setting starts on; turn it off under Theme Options > Shop > Cart > Cart Drawer > Add To Cart Button. If your child theme overrides woocommerce/cart/fly-cart-recommendations.php or woocommerce/custom/content-widget-product.php, copy the changes from the parent templates; without them the button never renders.
• Updated: WPC Frequently Bought Together plugin v.8.0.1 WPC Product Bundles plugin v.8.6.7 WPC Smart Compare plugin v.6.6.1 WPC Smart Notification for WooCommerce plugin v.2.5.3
• Improved: Cart: the requests the theme sends from product pages, quick view and the cart drawer – add to cart, remove, quantity, coupon, shipping, order notes – and the cart refresh now run one at a time; the cart page's own form is unchanged. Two of them running at once read and wrote the same cart session, so a slower reply could put an older cart back on screen over a newer one, and one of two quick adds could be lost. A redirect that follows an add – to the cart page, or to checkout from Buy Now – waits for the requests already accepted to finish first.

Fixed

• Fixed: Cart drawer: adding a product to the cart while the drawer was already open ran the whole opening routine a second time. Keyboard focus was thrown onto the drawer's close button, the page shifted sideways by the width of the scrollbar wherever scrollbars take up room, and a drawer the customer had just closed slid back out when the reply arrived. Opening steps now run only on the way in, and a drawer closed on purpose stays closed. Cart drawer: a quantity change the server answered with an error or with a page that is no cart at all – a login page, a firewall's block page – or did not……

Improved

• Upgrade notes: The constant MinimogWooArchive_Product::SIDEBAR_FILTERS has been unused since 4.5.1 and is deprecated; it will be removed in a later release. The shop sidebar is resolved through Minimog_Global::get_sidebar_1(). WPC Product Bundles keeps the variation data of bundled products in a cache of its own for up to seven days; where the plugin's own bundled items output is used rather than the theme's, the slimmer variation data arrives once that cache refreshes.

Fixed

• Fixed: Checkout: on the pay for order page, choosing a payment method that brings its own place order button – the wallet and express buttons – lost that button two seconds later, while the standard button stayed hidden behind it, so nothing was left to pay with until the method was chosen again. The theme refreshes the checkout two seconds after a payment method or address changes, for the Advanced Discounts plugin; that refresh now runs only on the checkout form, where something answers it, and the button is only taken down where the refresh renders it back. Variation galleries (WooCommerce…

New

• Added: Shop sidebar: with Sidebar 1 Off-Canvas set to Only Mobile, the filters button can sit in the shop toolbar instead of floating at the screen edge; pick the mode under Theme Options > Shop > Archive Product > Sidebar 1 Mobile Toggle (Floating stays the default). The floating button steps in on pages without a toolbar, and neither is printed when Sidebar 1 is None (new filter minimog/page_sidebar/1/off_sidebar/floating_button, and /2/).

Improved

• Upgrade notes: A variation moved across to WooCommerce's gallery will not show it on Minimog 4.5.0 or older, which reads only the theme's own storage; the images remain, and are listed in the WooCommerce field. Saving a variation through WooCommerce's gallery field also writes its variation image: its own where it has one, otherwise the parent product image, and only failing both the first gallery image. Anything relying on the copies of the gallery WooCommerce leaves in the page for its own variation script – a custom script, or a child theme reading them – should return true from minimog/va…
• Updated: WPC Frequently Bought Together plugin v.8.0.0 WPC Product Bundles plugin v.8.6.5 WPC Smart Wishlist plugin v.6.1.0 WPC Product Tabs plugin v.4.3.3
• Improved: Variable product pages ship less markup. WooCommerce's per-variation gallery copies, and the two spare copies it leaves where it renders the add to cart form itself, are all for its own variation script, which this theme replaces – 35 KB off a page carrying two variation galleries, 68 KB with the WooCommerce form. Galleries held in the theme's own storage are no longer rendered and discarded either, and their images load in one pass (24 database queries down to 14 on a product with three). New filter minimog/variation_gallery/keep_core_html restores the markup for anyone running Woo…

Fixed

• Fixed: Variation galleries (WooCommerce 11.1): WooCommerce now prints a variation gallery field of its own, which left two fields of the same name in every variation row, and images added through WooCommerce's never reached the shop. The theme reads that field now and prints no second one; existing galleries keep working, show up inside the WooCommerce field, and move across the first time the variation is saved there. Where WooCommerce has no such field – below 10.9, or 10.9 to 11.0 with the feature off – the theme keeps its own, which now edits and clears either store. Variation galleries:……

New

• Added: Currency switcher flags (CURCY – WooCommerce Multi Currency): the header and top bar switchers can show the flag of each currency beside the currency code, or on its own – the plugin's own flag for the currency, or the image uploaded for it under Multi Currency > Currency Options. Codes only, as before, stays the default; pick a mode under Theme Options > Header > General > Currency Switcher, or per widget in the Currency Switcher Elementor widget, which also sets the flag width and its spacing. The switcher links now carry the attributes the plugin's script listens on, so switching ke…

Improved

• Upgrade notes: Minimog_WC_Widget_Base::get_current_term_slug() now returns the term slug as a string, empty off term archives; it used to return absint() of the slug, so 0 for any non-numeric slug.
• Updated: WPC Frequently Bought Together plugin v.7.8.7 Update out-date templates for WC 11.0.0
• Improved: Shop filters and pagination: the archive keeps a single request alive. A filter, sort or page chosen while another one is still loading cancels the earlier request, so the grid always shows the last choice, and a "Load more" no longer appends its products under a filter clicked meanwhile. The address changes only once the new products are on the page, so Back and Forward re-render the page they lead to and a failed request leaves nothing behind. Infinite scroll measures the page at most five times a second. Product categories filter widget: counting the products of each category no…

Fixed

• Fixed: Currency bar (CURCY – WooCommerce Multi Currency): the colours chosen in Multi Currency > Design never reached the bar, because the theme reskins it with selectors the plugin stylesheet cannot outweigh. Background, text, main, hover and the expand button colours now come through; a Design tab left at its defaults keeps the theme skin exactly as before. Shop archive: the product_per_page URL parameter is now limited to 100 products, the maximum of the Number items option, and an invalid value falls back to that option. Nothing in the theme links to it, but anyone could send -1 and have……

New

• Added: Cart drawer product recommendations: a "You might like" panel next to the cart items – a column on desktop, a swipeable row on smaller screens with its own switch. Products come from the cross-sells of the cart items, then their related products, then the store best sellers; items already in the cart, hidden or out of stock are skipped. The list loads the first time the drawer is opened and refreshes with the cart. Off by default – enable it under Theme Options > Shop > Cart > Cart Drawer, where the heading and the number of products are configurable. Filters: minimog/cart_drawer/recom…

Improved

• Upgrade notes: If your child theme overrides woocommerce/cart/fly-cart.php, copy the recommendations block from the parent template; without it the panel never renders, even with the option turned on.
• Updated: WPC Smart Compare plugin v.6.6.0

Fixed

• Fixed: WPML Multi-currency: prices in the cart drawer panels loaded over AJAX – the coupon list and the shipping calculator – used the store's default currency instead of the one the customer had chosen. Product gallery: the thumbnails strip stayed still once the active image was the last thumbnail in sight. It now scrolls one thumbnail ahead – and back when going the other way – while keeping the tapped thumbnail in view. Product compare: restyled the parts of the compare UI that had drifted out of the theme's stylesheet – the attribute filter in the compare bar (RTL included) and the produc…
