Focus 1.7 Changelog

Release date: May 8, 2025

  • Full Page Creation: Use new Display Options to suppress headlines and bylines on your Front Page, Page, and Landing Page templates. With these settings in place, you will have total control over the content of your pages from comfort of the WordPress Editor. If you can do it with a Page Builder, you can do it with Full Page Creation in Focus (and it’s as simple as using a word processor!)
  • Captions: Can now be used after Heading 1 (h1) within any piece of content
  • WYSIWYG Editor: Updated Editor CSS to ensure more faithful rendering of captions
  • Updated Defaults:
    • Focus Mode: New installations will now start in Focus Mode instead of Readability Mode
    • Layout & Content Centering: These items match Focus Mode and provide the results new users are anticipating
    • Byline Items: Removed “edit post” links from default display, as an “edit post” link now appears in the Thesis Launcher
    • Buttons: Basic buttons now have an orange color (#FFEBB3) instead of boring gray
    • Button padding: Buttons now have more vertical padding ($x4) to make them easier to see and click
