LSX Theme 2.4.0

Keeping to our traditions, we aspire to keep all our software at the forefront of the latest available tech. With this in mind we bring you LSX 2.4.0.

This update is the product of months of collaboration between our system analysts, designers and developers. 

Through their hard work and ingenuity we have cleaned our theme of any lingering bugs, updated the frontend display for ultimate User Experience and expanded on core functionalities. 

As Gutenberg’s block-based builder has become more accepted (and coveted) by online businesses, we have continued to update our LSX Blocks extension and core LSX theme styles to suite the latest changes that came with the WordPress 5.2.2 release. 

Integration with Events Calendar has been improved, see the new layout:

We have created a number of filters to customise the functionality and layout to your requirements.

These filters give you complete control over the display of your search results and filter bars. Remember our Search plugin integrates with FacetWP!
