Fixes

- Fixed comment timestamp displaying with an offset for logged out users.

Demo Import

We created a demo content import tool to allow users to easily replicate the content from the demo into their theme. This tool can be used any number of times and also includes the ability to reset (delete) the imported data. If you want to remove data created by the importer, please use this option.

The importer can be used from the new backend theme "Demo Import" menu. Users are not forced to import all demo content data and can select what they want to impor

Version 1.3.3 February 20th, 2021

Fixes

- The "Add New" button of the Groups backend menu now correctly sends the user to their "Manage Groups" settings screen.

- Fixed a crash that would occur when a duplicate comment was created on a blog post.

New Features

- The "Light" and "Dark" Color Switch now clears user meta cache to force getting and displaying the user selected theme when switching.

- The "Account Settings" section has been added to the users Account menu. From here, users can use the "Delete Account" button to delete their account from the site. Site admins can choose to enable or disable allowing registered members to delete their own accounts by using the BuddyPress backend settings option: "Settings" -> "BuddyPress" -> "Options" -> "Account Deletion".

- Updated the "Vikinger - BuddyPress Extension" plugin to include the new delete account related "Account Settings" menu. Please update the plugin using the theme installer.

- Introduced newsfeed related performance optimizations.

Activity Improvements

Users can now delete their activity and blog comments. A new actions dropdown has been added next to the "Reply" button with the option "Delete Comment" to comments owned by the logged in user.

A new grayscale fade visual effect has been added on activity and comment deletion confirmation that indicates that the activity or comments are being deleted.

Activity Feed Settings

Several new options have been added to the "Customizer" -> "Vikinger Settings" -> "Newsfeed" section which allow users more control over activity feed related settings.

- Activity - Show More Status: by enabling this option, a "Show More" button will appear on activities that have a large height.

- Activity - Show More Height: you can control the maximum height that the feed activities can have. If an activity has a height that is greater than this value, then the remaining content will be hidden and a "Show More" button will be created to allow users to display the remaining activity content.

- Activity - Character Limit: you can control the maximum number of characters that users can put into an activity.

- Activity - Comment Character Limit: you can control the maximum number of characters that users can put into an activity comment (this limit also applies for blog post comments).

Members Settings

Several new options have been added to the "Customizer" -> "Vikinger Settings" -> "Members" section which allow users more control over members related settings.

From this section, you can now enable or disable member profile pages added by the theme. This will allow you to easily disable a member profile page and associated navigation item if you don't want to use it (like the profile blog page).

You can also choose the order in which enabled pages are displayed in the profile navigation bar (lower numbered pages will display before higher numbered ones), allowing you to display the pages you think are more important or should be easier to access first in the navigation bar.

BP Better Messages Integration

Modified the BP Better Messages plugin elements styles so that they use theme preset colors and made several adjustments to each element to make its styles integrate better with the theme.

Version 1.3.2 February 13th, 2021
Fixes
- Fixed the membership requests settings screen page title using the received invitations screen title.
- Fixed an issue which would prevent received membership requests from being displayed on the user "Membership Requests" settings page.
- Fixed an issue that would cause some BuddyPress Private Messaging module related features to show when the "Private Messaging" module was deactivated on the BuddyPress Settings Page.
- Dates in the user profile about widgets are now displayed localized and with the format selected on the WordPress backend "Settings" -> "General" -> "Date Format" setting.
New Features
- Added a new Customizer option that allows limiting YouTube embed video playbacks on the newsfeed. The option can be found on "Vikinger Settings" -> "Newsfeed" -> "Limit YouTube Playback". You can use this option to limit YouTube embedded video playbacks on the newsfeed of the site. If you select "Yes", only one YouTube video will be played at a time, this means that, if a user is playing a video and chooses to play another one, then the previous video will be paused. The YouTube Player API (YouTube Player API Reference for iframe Embeds) is used to achieve this behaviour.
- Introduced several performance improvements and optimizations.
