Astra - Fast, Lightweight & Customizable WordPress Theme v4.13.3

Astra Theme - Everything You Need to Build Stunning Website v4.13.3
This one’s a focused release. We’ve added a quick-access support widget right inside the Astra dashboard, confirmed compatibility with WordPress 7.0, and squashed two bugs that were affecting multilingual sites and WooCommerce stores.

Let’s get into it.
What’s new

• Get help without leaving your dashboard. A new AI support widget is now available directly inside the Astra admin dashboard. Look for the floating Astra icon — click it to get answers without switching tabs or digging through docs.

Better than before​

• Astra is fully compatible with WordPress 7.0. Update your WordPress core with confidence — everything works as expected.
• Header Builder schema output is now filter-controlled. Developers can use the astra_schema_enabled and astra_site_navigation_schema_enabled filters to toggle schema markup on Header Builder menus — useful for sites with custom structured data requirements.

Squashed​

• WPML translations no longer fall back to the admin language on the frontend. After the 4.13.1 update, [wpml-string] shortcodes were ignoring the visitor’s language and showing the default instead. Fixed.
• WooCommerce star ratings show all 5 stars again. The Legacy WooCommerce sidebar widget was clipping the rating display at 4 stars. Squashed.

Astra Theme - Everything You Need to Build Stunning Website v4.13.1
Let’s get into it.
= What’s Fixed?

• Mobile header flashed on load when using Logo + Title + Tagline together. On mobile, the inline header layout briefly showed a desktop version before snapping into place. The flicker is gone.
• Hovering a nested submenu item incorrectly highlighted its parent. A CSS hover rule was too broad and lit up ancestor menu items while you were hovering a grandchild.
• Mini-cart didn’t update after adding products from block-based WooCommerce grids. If you used “Hand-picked Products” or “Products by Category” blocks, adding to the cart left the cart count stale. It now updates correctly.
• Customizer text strings reverted to the admin language on the frontend with WPML. Default strings like “Read More”, “Related Posts”, and button labels switched to the admin’s language instead of the visitor’s.
• Custom menu toggle colors set in the Customizer weren’t applying to Elementor pages. An overly aggressive CSS rule was overriding your own settings. Removed, and your Customizer colors are back in charge.

What’s New?​

• Control Astra with AI (MCP Integration)
  • You can now tell an AI assistant what you want, and it will change your Astra settings for you. No more hunting through Customizer panels. Learn more:

    • “Set up a transparent header on my homepage only”
    • “Make my product pages full-width with a boxed container”
    • “Audit my typography and suggest improvements for readability”
  • Who this is for: Agency owners managing 10+ client sites, freelancers who want to ship faster, and non-technical users who’ve always felt intimidated by the Customizer.
