Total v6.0.3 - Responsive Multi-Purpose WordPress Theme
Total Theme v6.0.3
Release Date: January 3, 2025
WPBakery 8.1: We have decided not to update WPBakery to version 8.1 at this time. After reviewing the update, we identified some changes that impact the user experience. We will wait for the next release before updating the version included in the theme. There are no security concerns or critical bugs in 8.1 that necessitate an immediate update.
- AddedLetter spacing setting to the Horizontal Menu & Off Canvas Menu elements.
- AddedFont Size setting to the Horizontal Menu “Extras” tab so you can make the icons larger.
- AddedOn/off switch to the Image, Image Banner & Video Elements to “Fill Column”. When enabled the element will fill the parent column, this way if you have a row with equal height columns you can keep your image/video the same height as the column next to it.
- AddedCart Badge settings to the Icon Element when set to link to the cart so you can display a dot or counter with your shopping cart icon when items are in the cart.

- AddedNew Customizer option under General Theme Options > Page Header Title > Archive Label which can be used to display the archive type before the name (disabled by default).
