What's New with Astra

Fix

• Menu highlight labels not working for non-mega menus.

Improvement:

• Updated design of the navigation menu settings popup.

Fix:

• Elementor does not work if `no-toggle` menu style is selected and the section 1/section 2 is not set for Header Sections.
• Sale bubble styling is not working with woocommerce shortcode.
• Mobile menu submenu icon alignment is missing when we set the label to the main menu in mobile devices.

Improvement:

• Submenu opens below the header instead of cropping the header. This fix introduces a padding difference of ~5px in the header hence for existing sites updating to this version this change will be disabled by default.
  You can enable this by adding a filter `add_filter( ‘astra_submenu_below_header_fix’, ‘__return_true’ );` in your child theme’s functions’php file. For all the new installations this option will be enabled by default and don’t need any snippet.

Before adding filter:
