Author Profile Blocks

Changelog

1.0.1

  • Improve: SCSS fully migrated to @use/@forward module system with sass:color and sass:math.
  • Improve: removed @extend anti-pattern; hover effects are now direct scoped rules per block.
  • Improve: indigo editorial design system — refined shadows, cubic-bezier transitions, animated accent reveals.
  • Improve: social icons redesigned as square-pill shape with indigo fill on hover.
  • Improve: slick carousel dots styled as pill-shaped progress indicators.
  • Update: tested up to WordPress 6.7.
