Making Things Simpler with JupiterX Simplicity Mode

Welcome to your guide on JupiterX Simplicity Mode. As the digital landscape grows and changes, so does WordPress, along with our very own JupiterX theme. Keeping pace with the advancements, particularly with leading editing tools like Elementor, we realized the necessity to streamline your web customization experience. This brought us to the birth of Simplicity Mode, a clever initiative aimed at knocking down confusion and boosting your website’s performance.

What Problems Does Simplicity Mode Solve?

Before we delve into the nitty-gritty of the changes, let's understand why Simplicity Mode is a game-changer:

• Confusion: Those endless options in both the customizer and post meta settings across various pages and posts can be overwhelming.
• Performance Hitches: The old system's CSS and JS assets were slowing things down.
• Overload of Settings: Too many settings led to frustration and pesky bugs.

What’s New in Simplicity Mode

Widgets Update

We’ve done a massive overhaul on widgets, streamlining them for better performance and ease of use:

• Posts Widget: Say hello to the Advanced Posts widget, your new go-to.
• Navigation Menu: Upgraded with the Advanced Menu widget.
• Custom CSS/JS: Removed from post settings to declutter.
• Improved Widgets: Updated Products, Site Logo, Categories, and Advanced Menu Widgets to be independent of customizer settings.

Elementor Page Settings Enhancements

Boosting your Elementor editing capabilities with some fresh settings:

• Content Style: Now directly tweakable within Elementor Page settings.
• Overlap Content and Header Behavior: Customizable in Header template settings.

Meta Fields Revamp

We said goodbye to ACF fields and introduced simpler built-in meta fields:

• Adjust "Layout" and "Thumbnail" settings for Post Category, Post Tags, Portfolio Category, and Portfolio Tags, plus "Order" for categories.
• Setting up "Social Networks" is now plugin-free.

Streamlined Customizer and Dynamic Styles

To simplify the theme, we took these steps:

• Customizer Settings: Removed for a cleaner interface.
• Dynamic Styles: Reduced to essential, lightweight CSS.
• Theme JS Codes: Slimmed down to a lean JS file for enhanced performance.

Removed Features in JupiterX

Out with the old, in with the new:

• No more Development mode, Cache busting, Tracking code.
• SVG Support and Image Sizes: Elementor’s got you covered, so we’ve removed duplicates.
• Google Analytics: Replaced by the Custom Snippets feature.
• Adobe Fonts: Simplified with the Custom Fonts feature.
• Custom Post Type Customizations: With the meta options and customizer settings gone, these are no longer needed.

Layout Builder and Tracking Adjustments

• Post Meta Conditions: Removed, aligning with the discontinuation of post-meta options.
• Custom Snippets: Introduced as a substitute for Google Analytics and tracking code functionalities.
