Hi,

Since release of the Woodmart theme, and we constantly try to optimize theme performance from update to update. But after Google announce that in mid of 2021 site page speed performance will start to be a one of the main valuable factor in Google search ranking, we were forced to make big changes in our theme to stay competitive on theme market and provide best scores for users who care about page performance and search engine optimization.

Before 6.0 update, we prepared a detail migration guide to new version, special update transition option with main deprecated classes and correspondence table with full list of the 500+ classes that was changed. Unfortunately, this does not guarantee a smooth transition for sites with a lot of customizations and a change in custom code may be needed. We apologize for the current situation, but these changes were necessary in order to provide the best results for our clients.

Our next update will not contain such critical changes in HTML structure and class names. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.

We hope for your understanding. Best Regards
