Changelog
Every released version of Blank, newest first. The theme is updated through Dashboard → Appearance → Themes, or by re-uploading the package from your ThemeForest downloads.
Version 2.3 - August 08, 2026
- compatible with WordPress 7.0 and PHP 8.5
- fix: all PHP notices and deprecation warnings on the front end and in Theme Options
- fix: background images sized from a broken "background-size:px px" rule in the
generated CSS. Image dimensions are now read from disk instead of over HTTP,
which also removes two HTTP requests per page load
- new: Threads, Bluesky, WhatsApp and Telegram share buttons
- new: native share button, shown only on devices whose browser supports it
- Twitter share is now X. Your saved X/Twitter username and toggle are kept
- remove: Google+ share button and social icon
- fix: Pinterest share button, which used a javascript: bookmarklet that modern
browsers block. It now uses Pinterest's share URL and passes the featured image
- fix: LinkedIn share button, which pointed at a retired endpoint over http
- fix: Facebook widget rebuilt on Facebook's current Page Plugin. The old
like-box markup was discontinued by Facebook and had stopped rendering
- update: FlexSlider 2.1 to 2.7.2, for jQuery 3 compatibility
- update: Wi:Portfolio plugin to 2.0.2
- remove: leftover Google Maps scripts. The gmap shortcode was retired in 2.2
- remove: Internet Explorer polyfills and conditional comments
- fix: theme styles and scripts now carry a version, so browsers pick up changes
after an update instead of serving a cached copy
- update: translation template (languages/blank.pot)
The new share buttons are off by default so that upgrading does not change how your posts look. Turn on the ones you want in Theme Options → Single.
