- Reorganized Customizer structure for improved clarity and maintainability
- Introduced consistent default values for all settings to ensure stable fallbacks
when no user preferences are defined
- Refactored scroll-driven TOC implementation:
- Optimized scroll handling using requestAnimationFrame
- Reduced layout thrashing and unnecessary DOM reads
- Improved heading detection logic (deterministic viewport trigger)
- Enhanced positioning logic (responsive alignment + sidebar awareness)
- Improved footer collision handling for more robust layout behavior
- Added optional IntersectionObserver-based TOC implementation:
- Event-driven alternative to scroll-based approach
- Currently not enabled by default
- May not be supported long-term due to less deterministic behavior
- General cleanup and internal consistency improvements
chore: bump version to 2.4.0
Fix incorrect TOC alignment caused by outdated DOM selector in toc.js.
The content reference element changed during layout refactor, breaking
position calculations for the floating TOC.
Updated contentColumn selector to use .main-wrapper/.container fallback,
ensuring correct left offset and responsive positioning.
Also adds a more robust fallback chain to prevent future regressions
when layout structure changes.
- Fix initial state where cleanup button stayed enabled after full cleanup
- Extend logic to detect "nothing to clean" cases:
- no optimized images available for cleanup
- all originals already deleted
- Align PHP initial render logic with runtime JS behavior
- Improve UX consistency between page load and live updates
- Extend cleanup logic to remove full original image family (including subsizes)
- Fix issue where only the main original file was deleted
- Ensure consistent behavior for both manual batch processing and auto-delete
- Improve cleanup safety by validating optimization state before deletion
- Add AVIF/WebP conversion for uploads and legacy media
- Implement manual batch optimizer via Performance Tools dashboard
- Introduce automatic optimization toggle via Customizer
- Add optional automatic deletion of original images after optimization
- Ensure safe processing with versioned metadata and idempotent operations
- Decouple manual optimization from automation logic using force flag
- Add live progress UI for optimization and cleanup processes
- Improve UX with status indicators, dependency handling and warnings
This commit introduces a major internal refactor of the theme, replacing all
dynamic styling mechanisms with a fully static, CSS-based system.
The previous implementation relied on WordPress Customizer settings, PHP-based
style generation, and inline CSS injection for fonts, colors, and header behavior.
These systems have been completely removed and replaced with a deterministic
architecture using CSS variables and dedicated stylesheets.
Key changes:
- Removed dynamic font system (Google/local/inline CSS)
- Removed dynamic color system and Customizer controls
- Removed legacy compatibility layer (legacy-aliases.php)
- Removed custom header support and related UI (header image, text color)
- Eliminated inline <style> injection in wp_head
- Introduced static typography system via fonts.css
- Introduced static color system via colors.css
- Refactored style.css to rely entirely on CSS variables
- Cleaned up conflicting font declarations and redundant rules
- Simplified theme structure and reduced PHP overhead
- Aligned translation template with theme slug (zeitfresser.pot)
Result:
- Improved frontend performance and caching behavior
- Reduced PHP execution and complexity
- Fully deterministic rendering without runtime style mutations
- Cleaner, more maintainable codebase
No visual changes intended.
