This update introduces a comprehensive navigation enhancement system that adds mobile-responsive behavior and improved chevron positioning to the WordPress core navigation block through vanilla JavaScript and custom CSS. The implementation includes a new frontend script that handles touch interactions and submenu toggles, complemented by dedicated CSS for chevron styling and responsive behavior. This update also increments the theme version to 1.1.1 and updates several patterns to use the new navigations-frontend.js script for consistent navigation behavior across the demo site.

Navigation Enhancement System:

  • Added assets/js/navigation-frontend.js (approximately 350+ lines) implementing mobile submenu toggle functionality with click-outside-to-close behavior, preventing unwanted navigation when toggling submenus, and smooth chevron animations
  • Created assets/styles/core-navigation.css with targeted styles for improved chevron positioning (inline alignment, proper spacing, rotation animations) and mobile-responsive navigation behavior
  • Modified functions.php to enqueue the new navigation script and stylesheet, ensuring they load on all pages where the navigation block is present

Pattern Updates:

  • Updated patterns/header-standard.php and patterns/footer-simple.php to utilize the new navigation enhancement system with properly configured submenu structures
  • Modified patterns/stats-showcase.php with improved responsive grid layout and spacing adjustments for better mobile display

Version and Documentation:

  • Incremented theme version to 1.1.1 in style.css and readme.txt
  • Updated CHANGELOG.md with detailed documentation of the navigation enhancement features, pattern updates, and architectural improvements for the beta.2 release
