Kings Road 1.4.0 includes a number of new features and enhancements to improve what is already in place, making Kings Road a great choice for vendors in 2023.
What's included now on Kings Road
System fonts
Using the system font of a specific operating system can improve performance because the browser does not need to download any font files because it is already using one.
Animate page elements
Web animation can be used to draw people's attention, engage them more effectively, and communicate more clearly and effectively. It can engage and hold people's attention for a longer period of time than a static web page.
Taggbox Instagram feed
An alternative to the Elfsight Instagram Feed module that we have set up to work on our theme is Taggbox. They also offer free and premium versions, which you can sign up for here.
Full width page template
We recommend using the default template for text heavy web pages. For when this isn't the case we've added a full width page template.
New style editor
The style editor now has a stripped back look but still includes all the same features that makes Kings Road what it is.
In addition to these new functionality updates we've fixed plenty of display bugs, for a full list see the changelog.
