Did you guys really release Ride version 8.0.0 with the same glitches that Ride 3.0.1 has? That's pretty unprofessional. The "sort collections by" option on the "Collection list" page is still BROKEN. The only option that works is "Alphabetically, A-Z." All the other options load the entire collection list on 1 page with useless page numbers at the bottom of the page. How do you miss this so long?

Hi, thanks for your review. Our Theme Support team would like to take a closer look at your theme and any examples of the issue, so please feel free to open a ticket with support (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA)

Menu is very limited due to space and coding restrictions - suggested fix from support was to have a smaller menu. Hardly a reasonable solution :( Second fix was a 3rd party app but that has it's own problems from experience

Reply from Shopify Nov 02, 2022

Hi there, thanks for your review. You might be able to save some space by nesting menu items within parent menu items to create dropdowns and sub-level dropdowns. Otherwise, please contact support with screenshots of the issue (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) and we can look at options. The free app Mega Menu (https://bit.ly/3RiNjym) is a great resource if your menu needs exceed the theme's features

Looks good at first but hides a few big flaws. Thumbnails get blurry for no reason and when enlarging pictures they become way too big and are, for some reason, all connected to the same scrollbar instead of being separate images.

Reply from Shopify Aug 08, 2022

Hello! Blurry images could be due to potential theme bugs introduced in a recent update. Theme Support can take a closer look if you contact support (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA). The idea behind the image zoom is to give users a single area away from the main image carousel, where they can inspect all of the images close-up. That said, all feedback is appreciated and welcome

The theme does not work out of the box, you will need to hire someone to fix it. when entering product details is not displaying in correct place. there is no image sizes settings, pop up product image too large!!!, luck of support no many options...

Reply from Shopify Jun 13, 2022

Hey there, thanks for the feedback! You can drag and drop Sections/Blocks like the product description to reposition them on the page (https://bit.ly/3Dml1Mr). The 'Product Information' section contains the options for image size and layout. If this doesn't quite cover what you are needing, feel free to contact Support (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) so that we can take a closer look.

Release notes

Version 10.0.0 June 7, 2023

Ride 10.0.0 introduces new color schemes, animation options across templates and sections, performance improvements for large images, an improved announcement bar, and the ability to change the shape of product cards images.

Added

  • Important: Fade in animations will now be enabled by default on your theme. If you’d like to disable them, navigate to your theme settings → animations → uncheck “Reveal sections on scroll”.
  • Important: We’ve introduced a new visual way of setting your theme's colors. In your theme settings, you can now configure 5+ color schemes and apply them across sections in your themes. The default colors are created based on your theme’s current color settings, but we recommend reviewing them before publishing.
  • We’ve added new animations to your theme settings where you can have sections fade in or slide in when the user scrolls.
  • You can pick a new hover effect for buttons and cards - 3D lift.
  • You now have options to add animations on the Image with Text and Image Banner sections.
  • We added options to change the shape of the product card images.
  • We introduced the ability to send and schedule a gift card to a recipient.
  • You can now create different color schemes and apply them across your pages and sections.

Changed

  • Important: Color schemes now apply to content on the Image Banner and Slideshow sections, regardless of container visibility. Please review and adjust color schemes to ensure the content is readable.
  • There are now unique identifiers on navigation links, which lets you add custom CSS in the Header section.
  • We improved the announcement bar by adding a slider for each announcement instead of stacking them on top of each other.
  • We introduced new placeholder images across all theme sections.

Fixes and improvements

  • We fixed some spacing issues in the mobile drawer.
  • We improved the performance of the Collage section images.
  • We fixed some accessibility issues with the language and currency picker in the mobile drawer.
  • We fixed the facet filter animation duration to match the menu drawer.

Removed

  • Important: Decorative icons will now always inherit text color.

Version 9.0.0 March 29, 2023

Ride 9.0.0 introduces app blocks in header, video upload with auto-loop, "Click and hover" zoom, new desktop header menu style, a gift card recipient form, and some performance improvements on images.

Added

  • You can now incorporate eligible app blocks directly into your header section, to the left of your cart icon.
  • You can upload video files directly to Shopify and showcase them in the Video section. Additionally, you have the option to enable automatic video looping.
  • We introduced a new "Click and hover" zoom option on desktop for product page images to add a more subtle hover effect.
  • We've added a new style option to the desktop header menu, allowing you to collapse it into a hamburger icon with a popout drawer for a more compact and streamlined menu experience.
  • We added a language and currency switcher to the header section for shops selling in multiple currencies or languages.
  • The Slideshow, Image Banner, and Image with Text sections now have a subtle background animation option, which adds depth and dynamism to the overall design.
  • You can allow gift cards to be sent to a recipient with a new form on the gift card product page.

Changed

  • Important: The Richtext section heading type has been changed. This might result in your heading text being set back to the default value "Talk about your brand". This can happen when manually upgrading to this version.
  • We reordered the "Color scheme" setting to improve hierarchy in the header section.
  • The “Follow on Shop” option is enabled by default in the footer.
  • Section headings now provide more formatting options like bold, italic, and links.

Fixes and improvements

  • We improved the performance of the Multicolumn section by reducing the image sizes being loaded.
  • We fixed the blog post slides to show a preview of the subsequent slide.
  • We optimized the logo width to ensure the image looked crisp on all device sizes.

Version 8.0.1 March 6, 2023

Ride 8.0.1 introduces a bug fix for cart.

Fixes and improvements

  • We fixed a bug where the currency may not be applied correctly during checkout when using the cart drawer.
