Update: seven widget fixes in Lifter Elements 1.7.6

| henry

Lifter Elements 1.7.6 fixes seven things across six widgets. Each one is a setting that didn’t do what its label said, or a style rule that didn’t reach the element it was meant for. Nothing new to configure.

The update is waiting under Dashboard > Updates if your license is active, or in Downloads on Tangible Cloud.

What’s fixed

The Lesson Navigation switch Link to Parent Course? was inverted. It now works as labelled: Yes renders the parent-course link at the first and last lesson, No renders nothing. If you had set it the wrong way round to get the result you wanted, flip it back after updating.

Lesson Audio’s Width setting now applies to the player. Its style rule only matched the Course Audio player, so the lesson one ignored the setting.

Memberships List’s Order setting is now passed to the shortcode. A stray quote meant lists were always ascending whatever you chose.

Checkout’s Number of columns control now steps between 1 and 2 instead of 1, 3, 5 and so on.

Course List had two Progress Bar problems. The Bar Color and Bar Background Color labels were swapped in the style section, so each set the other’s colour; they now match. And Show progress for non enrolled user now hides the progress bar for visitors who are not enrolled in the course, where before the bar was always printed.

On the Groups widgets, with Use Current Group on, a page that is not a group no longer resolves the current post as the group. The visible symptom was Group Members on a course page listing the course’s students.
