Update : If you are using a cache plugin, you might need to refresh the cache after updating the theme.
Dear Customizr theme users,
I’m happy to introduce the latest versions of the Customizr free and pro themes. Those new releases are safe for child theme users. No templates or core functions have been changed.
The major introduction of this new version is a new social links module in the customizer. We’ve also been working on typography improvements for the theme. The line height is now a little bit taller ( for developer, the css line-height is now set to 1.6em ), following the best web design practices. The default font of the theme is now Poppins, a light and elegant Google font. ( you can set it in customizer > global settings > Google fonts )
Customizr Pro users can now activate the Yoast Seo breadcrumb instead of the Customizr built-in one, if they use this plugin.
This version improves the compatibility with the Woothemes Sensei plugin.
The rest of the changes is listed in the changelog at the bottom of this post.
New enhanced social links module
We’ve been working on an enhanced social module in the customizer > global settings > social links. You can now choose among 146 social icons ( including email and phone ) and link them to your social pages, or to any internal pages of your website.
Your existing links (for users who already had social links set ) will be automatically moved to the new module when activating the new version. You don’t have to do anything.
New screenshot
We’ve been creating a new screenshot reflecting the latest design and statistics of the Customizr theme. This screenshot has been created by Yulia Garcia and myself and uses images licensed under CC0.

A big thank you for access to this awesome theme and your amazing service for a free version.
How can I use the second menu?
Hi, This documentation page will help : http://docs.presscustomizr.com/article/145-managing-the-header-menu-in-the-customizr-theme
Cheers
Any chance for a “related posts” or “popular posts” widget?
Hi there,
how to change the setting for the line-height back to the former state?
merci ):
Hi, I also have experienced some little troubles with my slider: images all appears zoomed for 1920 resolutions. I’m using a child theme. Any suggestion?
Hi there!
Just updated the customizr pro (as usual by clicking on update) and got a “500 Internal Server Error”. Can’t neither reach back or front end.
Switched theme via FTP to wp default twentyseventeen. Website works again. Tried to update customizr pro theme for a second time. Again “500 Internal Server Error”.
Any ideas?
All the best from North-East Europe

Downloaded theme again from your website and uploaded and installed… bang! error again 🙁
Hi Chris,
Can you report the issue on the support desk ? We’ll try to help !
Best regards,
The new social settings are amazing! Just last week I was trying to butcher the social icons to turn a unused social icon (yelp) into a phone number with the a ‘tel:’ url, I had to find the font awesome code, modify the functions.php to change the name from yelp to phone, and change the mouse over title, then modify the css to the phone icon.. Now it does it all in a few simple clicks! Thank you!
Yes that’s exactly the kind of hassles that the new social modules intends to simplify.
Thanks for the feedback 🙂
Ciao,
ho un problema con WPML: negli articoli in evidenza nella home page sono scompare le descrizioni degli articoli e rimangono le caratteristiche come di un solo articolo.
Grazie.
I’m waiting your reply.
I have update last release but my problem isn’t solved.
Regards.
Pietro
Ciao Nicolas,
complimenti per il lavoro che fai, è veramente ottimo ed efficace.
Ho un problema, improvvisamente, dopo aver eliminato alcuni plugin (page builder di site origin e ultimate shortcode) non funziona più lo slider della home, ho provato a cancellare e rifare lo slider ma niente, sembra che prenda solo una foto e basta.
Ti sarei grato se mi potessi dire come fare per risolvere il problema.
Complimenti ancora per il lavoro.
Grazie
Hi Alfonso,
this looks like a conflicting plugin.
Did you try disabling your plugins and see if it still occurs?
Re-enabling them one by one would help you to find the conflicting one.
Best regards,
Rocco
Hi! First off gotta say I really love the Customizr theme. Can’t believe how user-friendly it is.
Onto my small issue, in the latest update, the navigation menu floats on the top of the header. Is there a way I can make it attach itself to the bottom of it? Before this update, I used a workaround where I had the slogan enabled but with nothing in the field, which forced the menu to the bottom. But now I see that enabling the slogan requires text in the field, which disables the effect.
Hi Rob,
you can either use CSS to style it or fill the tagline with an empty space (workaround).
My social media icons are all doubled: 2 Facebook icons, 2 Twitter, etc.
If I create new one that wasn’t already there, it’s fine.
If I delete one (let’s say Twitter) and then recreate it afterwards, still two icons appear.
I assume it has to do with the “move” of the old icons to their new place.
Hi David, this looks like a cache problem.
Can you please refresh your cache plugin ?
It will fix the issue.
Thanks
It worked, thanks.
Hi Nicholas, I have a similar issue: I can contemporary see my custom social icons and system ones just near them. Anyway I’m not using a caching plugin. What could it be?
Hi Sara,
Can you report the issue on the support desk ?
We’ll help you there.
Best regards,
Thanks, the site is up now.
Again, Nicholas, the two buttons on the tag line are no more showing after the update. Any help?
Thanks
Hi Afrane,
could you please open a new topic on the free support forum?
Many thanks
Hello, Nicholas and Thank You. Could you tell me if there is a Chrome compatibility issue? I am experiencing all that our colleagues above reported, plus I got double icons when I first used the social links interface. Now, they do not appear at all. Very strange.
Gio
Hi Giovanna,
we cannot see a Chrome compatibility issue regarding the social links.
PHP fatal error (for pretty old PHP versions Customize -> Advanced Options -> Front-end Icons (Font Awesome) -> Load Font Awesome resources is actually checked? It must be to have the font awesome icons loaded
2) If you use any server side caching system (plugin, cloud, hosting default), please make sure you purged the cache?
Cheers
I had a Problem with the Customizr Update v3.5.0, with a Note like:
“PHP Fatal error: Can’t use function return value in write context in …/wp-content/themes/customizr/inc/czr-init.php on line 441”
On Wordpress-Support-Site I found a solution for my Problem:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-fatal-error-cant-use-function-return-value-in-write-context-in/
But with /* … */ I just commented out a function in this PHP-File.
When we would get an update for this Problem? 🙂
Best regards.
Thanks for reporting the problem.
This occured with server with a version of php < 5.5. This is fixed now in v3.5.1 of Customizr free and version 1.3.1 of Customizr Pro. Cheers,
My site break after update. Please help.
After the update to the latest version, I’ve got an error:
Fatal error: Can’t use function return value in write context in /wp-content/themes/customizr/inc/czr-init.php on line 441
Please, help
Hi, this is most probably a php compatibility issue that we just fixed in v3.5.1.
Cheers
Hi Nicalos,
Thanks for the answer and quick update!
In v3.5.1 it works good!
Regards,
