Как долго я тебя ждал а… Больше 1.5 лет я пытаюсь в ручную допилить сайт и эту купленную когда то за 50 баксов тему WP SmartMag до вменяемого состояния… И тут одним прекрасным весенним утром 2021 года случилось чудо. Они выкатили обновление, но не одно а сразу три перескочив с версии 3, аж до версии 5. Разработчикам смотрю пошла на пользу пандемия и работа дома, они таки смогли полноценно доработать неплохую и во многом очень даже удобную тему SmartMag для WP. Почему удобная тема, для меня лично тем что у нее закрепляемый / фиксированное правый блок где уютно размещается один и даже несколько блоков рекламы от Яндекс РСЯ. Почему не Google Absence потому что в старой версии SmartMag были проблемы с версткой при его подключении к сайту. Сайт стал более отзывчивым, допилили быстродействие, но и не без грешков конечно. Из полезных функций которые я пока не нашел это акордеон, который мило скрывал сноски и дополнительные ссылки на контент. Слава Богу Bunyad Shortcodes не выпилили и он пока еще совместим в новой версией сайта. А вот Bunyad Page Builder пришлось заменить на не многим не любимый громоздкий и к тому же платный Elementor.
