Version 2.0 – 27 May 2019

How to update Melissa:http://documentation.birdwp.com/wp-melissa/#update-section

Melissa 2.0 is now available! This is a major theme update, mostly about new requirements for all WordPress themes on the market. Association:https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000472383-WordPress-Theme-Submission-Requirements

Please read the changes before updating the theme.

1. Changes related to new requirements:

- All theme code has been edited to meet WordPress code standards. Links:
- PHP Coding Standards: https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/coding-standards/php/
- HTML Coding Standards: https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/coding-standards/html/
- CSS Coding Standards: https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/coding-standards/css/
- JavaScript Coding Standards: https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/coding-standards/javascript/
- Now the theme uses the get_theme_file_path() function to include files. Example: require_once get_theme_file_path( '/assets/class-tgm-plugin-activation.php' ).
- Some sanitization functions in the customizer have been changed.
- All customizer styles have been moved to a separate file (/css/customizer-style.css).
- Now it is not allowed to use some functions in the theme, therefore these functions have been moved to plugins ( link: https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000481223-WordPress-Theme-Plugin-Requirements#h_121074620161522301832182 ). These are all widgets, social share buttons, and counters. Now, when updating (or installing) the theme, you will need to install 2 additional plugins (if you need these functions): Melissa Widgets and Melissa Social Media. In addition, all widgets have been rewritten.

2. All other changes:

- Updated: Documentation.
- Updated: Bootstrap v3.4.1.
- Updated: Superfish v1.7.10.
- The rel="noopener" attribute has been added to all links that have the target="_blank" attribute.
- Added permission to use the "rel" attribute in links.
- The show-hide-meta-boxes.js file has been moved from the "assets" folder to the "js" folder.
- Additional classes for posts are added through the "post_class" filter: add_filter( 'post_class', 'melissa_custom_post_classes', 10, 3 ).
- Changed some phrases for settings.
- Removed the following settings:
- Appearance > Customize > Custom CSS. This setting was outdated. Now WordPress has its own section in the customizer for Additional CSS code;
- All volume settings for background videos. The reason is very simple - this is a new autoplay policy for browsers. Main change: Video can play automatically, but only if it's silent. In this theme, the background video for the header starts to play automatically, and according to the new policy, browsers block any sound from this video. For this reason, all volume settings have stopped working, and they have been removed from the theme.
- Changed default values for the following options:
- Appearance > Customize > Font Size & Style > Blog Post > Blog Post: Metadata Font Style > Bold;
- Appearance > Customize > Font Size & Style > Sidebar & Widgets > Widget: Metadata Font Style > Bold.
- Google+ buttons have been removed from the theme.
- Styles for the classic editor have been rewritten.
- Some theme styles have been changed.
- Some responsive styles have been changed.
- Fixed several minor issues.

Changed files:
- All theme files.
