== Changelog ==
= 1.1.4 - August 21 2026 =
* Fixed - The image post format wrapped the thumbnail in a div that was always empty. the_post_thumbnail() echoes and returns nothing, so the image printed before the wrapper rather than inside it.
* Fixed - The cart count in the header called WC()->cart without checking it exists, which is a fatal error on any request where WooCommerce has not set the cart up.
* Fixed - Numeric pagination left an unclosed div. The closing tag was written as an opening one, and paginate_links() returns null when there is one page or fewer.
* Fixed - The author widget script passed true where wp_register_script() expects a version, so the version was recorded as "1" and the script loaded in the head instead of the footer.
* Fixed - Creation of a dynamic property on the admin notice class, deprecated in PHP 8.2.
* Fixed - Post date and category strings ran a bare placeholder through the translation functions, leaving translators with no words to translate.
* Fixed - The author box printed a literal &nbsp because the entity was missing its semicolon.
* Fixed - Customizer control scripts were requested through a path with a double slash in it.
* Fixed - A site set to a font the picker no longer offers now falls back to the theme default instead of raising an undefined array key warning.
* Security - Escaped all remaining theme output, including the widgets, the Customizer category control, the post format templates and the header.
* Changed - Fonts are now bundled with the theme and served locally. The typography picker offered 125 Google families and the Customizer requested every one of them in a single call, while the front end requested the chosen family plus three more, so each page view made four requests to fonts.googleapis.com. The picker now offers 20 families, all bundled. The list is filterable, so a child theme can add more back if it loads them itself.
* Changed - Body copy was 15px at a line height of 1.2. It is now 16px at 1.7.
* Accessibility - The primary colour measured 2.48:1 against the page background, which fails at every size, and it is used for link text throughout. It is now #2b6eb3 at 4.5:1. The old value can be restored in the Customizer.
* Accessibility - Darkened the muted grey from #989ea6 to #676e78, raising it from 2.54:1 to 4.5:1 against the page background.
* Accessibility - The theme options page logo had alt="Logo", which tells a screen reader nothing. It now uses the theme name.
* Added - Recommended plugins notice for the free Template Sell plugins. Nothing is bundled or installed automatically.
* Added - languages/opus-blog.pot so the theme can be translated.
* Changed - Every enqueued asset now carries the theme version, and render-blocking scripts were moved to the footer.
* Changed - Requires PHP raised to 7.4 and Requires at least set to 6.0.
* Fixed - Third level dropdown menus jumped back over their parent on hover. A left:0 rule had the same specificity as the one placing them beside the parent and came later in the file.
* Fixed - Right-to-left sites were served style-rtl.css instead of style.css, but that file styled an older menu structure the theme no longer renders, so dropdown menus were close to unstyled. The missing navigation rules have been ported across and mirrored.
* Fixed - style-rtl.css began with an orphaned comment terminator, a parse error at the top of the stylesheet.
* Changed - Post list design. Featured images now fill the card, so a narrow image no longer leaves cards ragged; titles step up from 26px to 30px against 16px body copy; small uppercase meta gained letter spacing; spacing between posts increased; and the forced underline on title hover was replaced with a colour change and an offset underline.
* Changed - Dropdown menus animate in 200ms on transform and opacity only, rather than 500ms on all properties, and the third level shadow now matches the second instead of being near black.
* Accessibility - Added a visible keyboard focus style; the theme had none. Menu parents now show a caret, and all motion respects prefers-reduced-motion.
