Billie is a responsive, accessible blog theme with a call to action and search form in the header.



= Description ==

Billie is a responsive and accessible blog theme. The theme has two optional menus (including a social menu),

several different sidebars and a footer widget area that will hold any number of widgets. 

The theme is compatible with the new block editor, and also includes a Call To Action button 

and two page sections that you can combine with your front page.

I recommend that you install the Jetpack plugin to make full use of supported features like featured content,

contact forms, testimonials, social sharing and more.

To create a portfolio, install Jetpack and create your projects, all the templates are already shipped with the theme.

Billie also works well with WooCommerce.



== Installation ==

1. Unzip `billie.zip` to the `/wp-content/themes/` directory

2. Activate the theme through the 'Appearance' menu in WordPress



== Change log ==

Version 1.1.1 2020-03-31



Fixed a critical issue with the main menu on tablets. Updated navigation.js.

Several improvements for the menu:

Support for more sub menu levels.

Sub menu items now show in the responsive menu and the menu is properly centered.

Increased the size of the menu items in the responsive menu,

to make them easier to click on mobile phones.



The default content width has been decreased.

This was an important step to take, to finally be able to use wide and full width blocks in the editor.

This is most visible when no sidebar is used. 

You will see a change in the design, but this change is important to 

improve the readability and accessibility of your website.

Improvements have also been made for the width, paddings and margins of the content

on mobile phones. This makes the content easier to read.

You will see a change of the arrows in the main menu.



Improvements of the block editor styles to keep up with recent changes and to better

match the editor and the front.



Replaced theme support for Jetpack responsive videos with the WordPress

responsive embeds since these must not be enabled at the same time.



Featured images are now centered instead of left aligned.



The front page section panel has been renamed Page sections,

since they work on all pages where the template is used.



Font sizes are now more responsive.

The number of font-sizes used has been reduced.

The content text size has been increased to improve accessibility.

Several pixel values has been replaced with relative units and are now more consistent and uniform.
