Total Theme v 4.9.5
Release Date: October 21, 2019
- Total Theme Core Plugin: If this is the first time upgrading to a Total 4.9+ version please read the important notice on the main 4.9 update. It's crucial that you read about the new Total Theme Core plugin.
- Elementor Templates: With the newly added support for the Elementor Theme Builder if your site was previously using the Total header or Footer builder functions but you had created a header or footer template in Elementor the theme may now display the Elementor templates rather then using the header builder function so please double check. And it is recommended to disable the header/footer builder functions if using Elementor via the Theme Panel to slim things down and avoid confusion.
