December 2025
The month focused on refining administrative permissions for custom post types, expanding AI capabilities within text editors, and improving the development toolchain and theme consistency.
Admin & Permissions
Taxonomies of custom post types now appear correctly in menus under restricted permissions. Issues preventing post creation under specific menu groupings were resolved, along with fixes for Quick Edit errors involving block rendering callbacks.
Content Elements & AI
AI generation capabilities were extended to Pell editor fields with toolbar integration. Video media display issues in hero blocks were fixed, and support for rewinding videos via a custom event was added across all video types. Previews were also added to Team Members and Team Slider blocks.
Development Tools & Theme
A new CLI tool was introduced for versioning and build processes, replacing legacy dependencies. Development tooling was updated with parallel linting tools and a bumped minimum WordPress version. Automated cache clearing actions were added for plugin updates and activations. The Lightyear theme was updated to match Figma spacing defaults and align single templates with page templates.
