The WordPress 5 block editor update is now available for Eames. In this release, we’ve re-written Eames from the ground up, not only adding support for WordPress 5 and the Gutenberg block editor, but also bringing it up to speed with today’s development standards. Exciting upgrades include significant improvements to gallery performance and style control including Vimeo® and Google® Fonts support. We’ve also moved away from the old Theme Options panel and embraced the native WordPress Customizer!
Eames 4.2.0 is now even faster, smoother and more powerful than before.
Theme Update Best Practice Checklist
There are many new settings allowing for absolute control over negative space and color scheme. Because of these enhancements it’s not possible to have a truly seamless theme update with this release because the default settings for these new controls may not match the unique styles you’ve already chosen for your site. As such, please review your website carefully after applying the update and make adjustments via Appearance > Customize where needed.
To ensure the smoothest theme update possible, please follow the steps outlined in our best practice checklist.
