Deactivating the Redux Framework Plugin

Upon updating to the latest version of the Docy theme, a notice will appear in your dashboard prompting you to deactivate the Redux Framework plugin. This step is essential to prevent conflicts with the new native Theme Settings integration and to ensure the theme operates smoothly.

Please note that your existing theme configuration data will be preserved during the migration to the new settings interface.

Dark Mode Controls in Elementor

You can now manage Dark Mode Color settings directly within the Elementor editor. These controls are located under Advanced Tab > Dark Mode Color.

This feature allows you to customize background, text, and border colors specifically for the dark mode display, ensuring a consistent and polished user experience across your website.

Blog Post Format Icons

You can easily assign or update icons for different blog post formats (such as standard or video) via the theme settings. Navigate to Theme Settings > Blog Pages and locate the Post Format Icon option. From the drop-down menu, select the icon that best represents your content type.

Once saved, these icons will automatically reflect on your blog posts, providing a visual cue for your readers and improving overall site aesthetics.
