Changelog

Version 1.3.0 — 29 July 2026 Scope update

Removed

• The Vue, React and Angular template ports are no longer part of this product. Fieldcraft now ships as a WordPress theme plus a separate standalone HTML template product — see the HTML Template documentation.

Version 1.3.0 — 26 July 2026 QA fix round

Fixed

• The quote-request form now rejects a phone number with no real digits server-side (previously only checked that the field wasn't blank), matching the client-side validation already in place.
• One Click Demo Import's own demo-selection cards are now reachable by keyboard. OCDI's bundled CSS only revealed each card's "Import Demo" link on mouse hover (display: none otherwise, which also blocks keyboard focus) — Tab now reaches every card's Import action in order.

Added

• A dismissible admin notice on sites imported before this update that may still be showing stale flagship (Ironhouse Mechanical) facts on the About page for a different demo — recommends re-running Import Demo Data to refresh those Customizer values. One Click Demo Import only ever applies a demo's Customizer settings at import time, never on a later theme/plugin update, so older imports keep whatever was written back then regardless of later sample-data corrections.

Version 1.3.0 — 22 July 2026 Multi-builder support

Added

• Optional multi-builder support. Gutenberg remains the native, always-on default — no builder is required. Switch anytime to Elementor (22 widgets, free wp.org plugin, one-click install from the setup wizard), WPBakery Page Builder (22 elements — bring your own licensed copy, it's a paid third-party plugin) or Divi Builder (21 modules plus 1 repeater parent/child pair — bring your own licensed copy) from a new "Choose Your Builder" step. All 22 signature sections render with the theme's own design (same classes, same main.css) in every builder, so visual consistency holds regardless of which one you pick.
• The guided setup wizard is now 4 steps: Install Plugins (a genuinely one-click install/activate button, replacing the old multi-click bulk-install screen), Choose Your Builder (new), Import Demo Data, and Customize.

Changed

• Demo content import for the Elementor/WPBakery/Divi builder choices is a "coming soon" placeholder in this release — not yet functional, deferred to a future update once real builder-native demo packages exist. The existing Gutenberg/native demo content (8 one-click demos, 12 pages each — Home plus 11 interior pages) is unaffected and imports exactly as before.

Version 1.2.0 — 22 July 2026 Admin menu consolidation

Changed

• Consolidated the admin experience into a single top-level Fieldcraft menu in the wp-admin sidebar, replacing the previous tabbed Appearance → Fieldcraft dashboard and the separate setup-wizard page. The menu now has distinct subpages — Welcome, Setup, Theme Options, Documentation, Requirements, What's New — plus Install Plugins (TGMPA) and Import Demo Data (OCDI), reparented as proper subpages of the same menu instead of living elsewhere.

Added

• A live setup-status indicator on the Welcome subpage, showing Plugins / Demo Import / Customize progress at a glance.
• A new Theme Options subpage: one-click quick-link cards into every Customizer section, for one-click access without hunting through Appearance → Customize manually.

Version 1.1.0 — 21 July 2026 Options + demos

Added

• Five new/expanded Customizer sections — Typography (font pairing: 6 curated, self-hosted, OFL/Apache-licensed pairings, plus a base font-size scale), Buttons (button shape: Square/Rounded/Pill; button style: Fill/Outline), Layout (container max-width including a Full width 100% choice, header style: solid/transparent-over-hero, section spacing rhythm), Home Content (direct fields for the most-edited front-page copy: services heading, manifesto kicker/body, the three ledger stat numbers, emergency band kicker/heading/support text, reviews heading, team heading), and Support & Links (documentation/support/follow URLs used by the theme dashboard) — bringing the Fieldcraft Options panel to twelve sections total. Every option is live-previewed and only writes a CSS-variable override (or theme-mod override, for Home Content) when changed from its default, so a stock install still renders byte-identical to the reference demo.
• 7 additional one-click demos alongside the flagship — Millrace (Plumbing), Northgale (Heating & Cooling), Copperline (Electrical), Ridgeline (Roofing), Punchline (Handyman), Broadcoat (Painting) and Marrowbone (Landscaping) — for 8 demos total, each with its own brand name, accent color, home-page copy and importer preview thumbnail, all sharing the same 12 pages (Home plus 11 interior pages) and design system.

Note: the "OFL/Apache-licensed" wording above is left as originally published for historical accuracy. It was corrected in 1.3.0 — all six Typography pairings are self-hosted OFL-only webfonts (Roboto, previously believed Apache-2.0, was confirmed to ship under SIL OFL 1.1 once its embedded font metadata was checked). See Credits & Licenses → Fonts for the current, correct license per family.

Version 1.0.0 — 20 July 2026 Initial release

Added

• Initial release of the Fieldcraft WordPress theme, child theme, and HTML/Vue/React/Angular templates.
• Note: the line above is left as originally published for historical accuracy. As of the 29 July 2026 scope update (top of this page), the Vue, React and Angular template ports are no longer part of this product — Fieldcraft ships the WordPress theme plus the standalone HTML template only.
• Builder-free front-page composition with per-section Customizer toggles.
• Native Customizer options across seven sections (Colors, Contact & Identity, Header & Topbar, Home Sections, Closer & Service Area, Maintenance Mode, Performance).
• Nine Gutenberg block patterns (Company timeline, Quote request form, Emergency CTA band, FAQ accordion, Job-file gallery grid, Flat-rate pricing table, Review wall, Numbered service rows, Trust / credentials strip) and three block styles.
• Quote-request form with the fieldcraft_quote_submitted action hook.
• SEO fundamentals: JSON-LD structured data and Open Graph/Twitter Card meta, auto-disabled when an SEO plugin is active.
• Branded admin dashboard (Welcome / Requirements / Recommended Plugins / Setup & Demo / Help & FAQ / What's New).
• Self-hosted OFL fonts, translation-ready (.pot), WPML config, RTL-ready (generate rtl.css with rtlcss).
• Child theme starter.
