The configuration items in the original data file are no longer supported, please set in the configuration file.
The theme configuration file has been redesigned and needs to be reconfigured "completely".
Friends chain uses data files and supports issues tags to realize dynamic self-help friends chain.
The original meta custom layout now only supports top_meta and bottom_meta inside the article.
The layout of the article list page can only be customized within a limited range.
The sidebar component now only supports the sidebar position; there is a dedicated component at the end of the article.
If the lazy loading plugin is installed, you need to uninstall it and use the lazy loading built into the theme (which conflicts with the plugin).
If you want to close the comments, you need to change it to comments: false.
If you want to hide the meta tag at the top or bottom of the article, you need to set top_meta: false or bottom_meta: false.
If you need to hide the title and the meta tag at the top at the same time, you can also change title: xxx to seo_title: xxx.
The information of multiple authors is defined using a data file. You only need to write ʻauthor: xxx` in the article instead of repeating the author's information.
Now only the pictures with the gallery tag support zooming.
The friend link page layout: links is changed to layout: friends.
