2.5.1 release note

Wonder 2.5.1 is a refinement release that builds on 2.5.0 — smoother storefront interactions, better performance, stronger SEO, and broader compatibility across the theme.

Highlights

• A more polished product page: the add-to-cart button responds instantly to variant selection, and the gallery and header settle cleanly on load.
• Lighter and more stable on content-heavy pages, with sliders and background videos that release resources when no longer needed.
• Stronger SEO for your blog, with modern structured data.

Improved

• Add to cart — the buy button now reflects your variant choice immediately, without needing a page refresh, including when "preselect first variant" is turned off.
• Product page loading (fashion layout) — the media gallery and transparent header settle smoothly on first load, without a visible shift or flash.
• Quick Buy reach — Quick Buy is now available on Pro product cards in Product Recommendations, and on Quiz result cards.
• Video controls — play/pause and mute controls display and behave correctly in the Video section.
• Featured Collection — a smoother reveal animation for the stacked / grid view.
• Multicolumn on mobile — two-column layouts align correctly on smaller screens.
• Quiz — the results slider behaves consistently across screen sizes.

Performance

• Sliders & videos now fully release their resources when a section is removed or re-rendered (for example while editing in the theme customizer) and pause off-screen videos — keeping content-heavy pages responsive.

SEO & structured data

• Blog articles now provide complete, standards-based BlogPosting structured data (JSON-LD), helping search engines better understand and surface your posts.
