We made updates to several Default Widgets this week. If you have customized any of these widgets and would like to update your customized widget, you can find the latest code in the corresponding Default Widget. Please remember that if you have a custom version of any of these widgets, our latest updates have not been pushed to your website.


  • We fixed an issue which was causing bolded text in Froala editors to revert the font size of the text to 14px in some cases.

  • We update the design of the button color fields in order to display a preview of the color the button will have based on the "Default Button Link Colors" selected on the Design Settings page in the Admin.

  • We updated the layout of the Simple Events Calendar Add-On in order to display a badge with the number of events on a day day instead of using a dot for each event on a day. This change adds support for sites with many events on a given day and makes it more usable for mobile devices.

  • We fixed an issue which was causing the system to add an extra width to the homepage on mobile devices when using the Streaming Post Carousel Slider Add-On in some cases.

  • We updated the design of the "Suggested Matches" and "Matched Members" sections of the Lead Details pages in the Admin to display the member's Sub and Sub-Sub Categories.
