Skeleton Loader

Hi,

I’d like to suggest adding a skeleton loader or an image placeholder during image loading. This would make the theme look smoother and more polished, especially when images take a moment to load.

Thanks for considering this improvement!

Hello,

Unfortunately, there is no such option.

You can leave a future request here – https://woodmart.canny.io/feature-requests so our developers will take it into account.

Best Regards,

Ok, when you will release next update?

Hello,

We don’t have an exact release date at the moment. It will be released soon.

Best Regards,

is it possilbe you will rewrire your code to vanilla js?

Hello,

At the moment, it’s not possible for us to rewrite the entire codebase to vanilla JavaScript. The theme relies on its current structure.

Best Regards,

Hello,
Thank you for your answer. However, I am concerned about the long-term performance of the theme. Most modern, high-end themes are currently being rewritten to Vanilla JavaScript to ensure maximum efficiency and compatibility with the upcoming WordPress 7.0 “Vanilla” standards.
If other developers are refactoring their code to remove technical debt, why is it not possible for WoodMart?

Also, could you please clarify: does your
AJAX system (for filters, cart, and search) still strictly rely on jQuery? If so, are there any plans to implement the new WordPress Interactivity API?

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your concerns and questions in detail.

To provide you with up-to-date information, we have forwarded your request to our development team for clarification regarding JavaScript architecture and future plans (including jQuery usage and the WordPress Interactivity API).

At the moment, we are awaiting their response. As soon as we receive confirmation or additional details from the development team, we will update you here.

We appreciate your patience and understanding, and thank you for your interest in the future direction of WoodMart.

Best Regards,

Hi Maiursz,

Thanks for the detailed follow-up.

About a full rewrite to “vanilla JS”
Modern WordPress themes still use PHP on the backend and WordPress/WooCommerce continue to ship and rely on jQuery on the frontend. Dropping jQuery entirely would increase code duplication and maintenance without practical benefits right now. We are continuously modernizing parts of the front end where it makes sense, but a full rewrite is not planned.

AJAX in filters, cart, and search
Our current AJAX interactions use our established JS stack, which includes jQuery. If you need to re-initialize custom scripts after products are loaded via AJAX, hook into these events:

$(document).on('wdLoadMoreLoadProducts wdArrowsLoadProducts', function() {
  // re-initialize your scripts/widgets for newly added items
});

Kind Regards
