I updated to latest Easyblog 5.1. I am totally amazed that all my customizations no longer work and would need to rework them all for you modules and such. Why is this not upward compatible, that causes lots of work for people!

Hope there is an easy solution for this!
We did not change much in terms of the css and most of it should work fine. You just need to make sure that your file name remains the same. How was your customizations done?

Override have been made in my custom.css file to override colors, fontsizes etc. Also the blog search bar etc. This all changed, so that is really alot of work for the sites we do for our customers.

We have changed the toolbar as it needs to be updated and the only way is to update the DOM structure. This is done to ensure that all our extensions has the same DNA since this toolbar will be the standard toolbar across all extensions.

Other than the toolbar, there really isn't anything much that has changed apart from some php variables.

We did not actually make much modifications in terms of html codes but it again depends on how you used the selectors. To reduce the size of the page and css files on EasyBlog 5.1, we had to remove unnecessary selectors. In this case, #fd.eb has been removed.

If you are using the selector of #fd.eb, you will just need to use #eb now.

that is wonderful as that is what I use. I do not understand why it had to be removed, but I can live with such an easy solution.
thanks Mark!

Just to conclude can I make this change as well for the prior version, or only in this version?

Hello Abraham,

The reason for this change is to reduce the css file size. Having #fd.eb on every single selector as opposed to just #eb, we get to save about 2 bytes for every single selector which is a huge saving.

These changes are only on EasyBlog 5.1. Your changes will not work on prior to 5.1
