Each theme release bundles a version of the free Cartavera Blocks plugin. If the bundled plugin is newer than the one on your site, update it too; see Updating the companion plugin.

Theme Bundles Cartavera Blocks
1.4.0 1.2.1
1.3.0 1.2.0
1.2.0 1.1.0
1.1.0 1.0.0
1.0.0 No plugin (the blocks were part of the theme)

Cartavera 1.4.0

  • Plugin updates: when the theme includes a newer Cartavera Blocks, WordPress offers it in Dashboard → Updates, on the Plugins screen and in Appearance → Cartavera. See Updating the companion plugin.
  • Fix: an update now downloads straight away after you activate your licence. Before, Dashboard → Updates could keep saying Update package not available until WordPress’s next update check.

Cartavera Blocks 1.2.1

  • Fix: the mini-cart’s free-shipping progress bar stays filled.
  • Fix: the focused item in the category drawer stays in view.

Cartavera 1.3.0

  • New headers: Two-row header with utility bar, Centered header (light) and Minimal one-row header.
  • New footers: Minimal footer, Centered footer (light) and Footer with newsletter sign-up.
  • Pattern library: 58 patterns in eight categories: hero, collections, promotions, trust and store info, content, newsletter and FAQ. The trust and FAQ patterns only state what your store settings say.
  • New style variations: Midnight (dark), Atelier and Orchard, for eight in all.
  • Homepage templates for the Electronics megastore, Fashion boutique and Grocery and fresh food starter sites.
  • Dark palettes no longer need any CSS of their own.

Cartavera Blocks 1.2.0

  • Starter sites: choose Marketplace, Electronics megastore, Fashion boutique or Grocery and fresh food under Tools → Cartavera Sample Store. With Cartavera, the three new ones also apply a style, header, footer and homepage.
  • Import and removal run step by step with a progress bar. Removal deletes everything the starter created and puts back your previous styles, header, footer and homepage, unless you changed them after the import.
  • WP-CLI: wp cartavera demo starters and wp cartavera demo import --starter=<slug> [--skip-design].

Cartavera 1.2.0

  • Badges: “New” and “Best seller” on product cards and product pages.
  • Product page: sale countdown, size guide and wishlist button.
  • Cart: free-shipping progress in the cart and mini-cart.
  • Mega menu: the “Marketplace header with mega menu” header, where top categories open panels with images and subcategories on desktop. Phones keep the category drawer.
  • Sticky compact header block style, with no layout shift.
  • Quick view for product grids, turned on per grid (off by default).

Cartavera Blocks 1.1.0

  • New blocks: Mega Menu, Product Badges, Sale Countdown, Size Guide and Wishlist Button.
  • Quick view, using WooCommerce’s own add-to-cart form.
  • Free-shipping progress from the lowest Free Shipping minimum in the shopper’s zone.
  • Size guides are synced patterns, chosen per product or per category.
  • The Wishlist Button works with WooCommerce’s wishlist, YITH WooCommerce Wishlist and TI WooCommerce Wishlist. Cartavera stores no wishlist data.

Cartavera 1.1.0

  • The store blocks, the sample store importer, the WP-CLI command and recently viewed tracking moved to the free Cartavera Blocks plugin. Block names didn’t change, so your saved content keeps working.
  • Without the plugin, Cartavera uses WordPress and WooCommerce blocks in their place.
  • Install and activate the plugin from the admin notice or Appearance → Cartavera.

Cartavera Blocks 1.0.0

  • First release. The blocks, sample store importer, WP-CLI command and recently viewed tracking moved here from Cartavera 1.0.

Cartavera 1.0.0

  • First release.
