4.3.3
2026-09-16

-
Fix
-
4.3.2
2026-09-15
-
Fix
- Header Builder crashed when a saved layout contained a component ID that no longer exists, e.g. after Zakra Pro or WooCommerce is deactivated. (#346)
- Menu dropdowns in the Secondary, Tertiary, and Quaternary menus, and the Primary menu on touch-capable Windows devices, ran off the right edge of the screen instead of flipping inward. (#350)
- Header search Text Color setting had no effect on the search input text. (#347)
- WooCommerce shop grid showed 1 column instead of 2 on mobile.
- Header and footer chrome (logo, menus, builder areas) did not appear when previewing Zakra via the WordPress.org theme preview or Appearance > Themes’ Live Preview.
- Live Preview crashed with a fatal error when WooCommerce was active and Zakra wasn’t the active theme.
- Submenu overflow detection stopped working for a nav menu edited live in the Customizer.
- Header Builder rows sometimes failed to appear when the Customizer was opened while still loading.
- Header, footer, and other background/color settings didn’t update live in the Customizer preview and required a page refresh to show changes.
- Mobile search overlay broke in several placements – narrow box over the site title, wrong layout in the Top/Bottom row, and issues combined with the mobile menu drawer.
- Search Background Color didn’t apply consistently on mobile/tablet or when Search was placed outside the Main header row.
- Live Preview showed a JavaScript error and broke the Customizer panel when WooCommerce was active and another theme was active.

Fix

- Large empty gap below the price box on Masteriyo’s Single Course page at tablet and mobile widths.
- Page Header/Post Title section got duplicated in the Customizer preview when editing Header Builder.
- Block editor styles failed to load in Gutenberg’s iframed editor, triggering a console deprecation warning.
- Checkout Order Summary product names broke into unreadable character fragments at tablet-range viewport widths.
- Container Layout and Sidebar Layout Customizer controls had no effect on Masteriyo Single Course pages.
- Footer Builder Social element’s Alignment control showed no default selection, unlike the Copyright element’s.
- My Account active tab kept the default button color instead of updating with the Customizer’s Button color setting.
- Breadcrumb’s Link Color control was labeled simply “Color”, unlike the adjacent Text Color and Separator Color controls.
- Mobile off-canvas menu listed every page on the site instead of falling back to the Primary Menu when no Mobile Menu was assigned.
- Customizer icons and the Zakra Dashboard logged React “Invalid DOM property” console warnings due to un-camelCased SVG attributes.
- Sidebar widgets were still rendered and shipped to the browser, then hidden via CSS, whenever Container Layout was Narrow or Stretched.
- At tablet width (768px), the WooCommerce sidebar column was squeezed too narrow alongside the multi-column product grid, wrapping widget headings awkwardly.
- Full Width/Wide Gutenberg blocks didn’t break out to full viewport width with No Sidebar layout, and incorrectly broke out of the Narrow layout’s centered column.
- Header Builder, Footer Builder, and Customizer settings had no effect on the Starter Content homepage; also fixed a stray content gap and an unwanted page title bar on that same page.
- Header Builder Search color controls had several issues: Background Color had no effect, Icon Color and Text Color appeared under the wrong section, and Icon Color was overridden by Text Color.
