WooCommerce Single Product features
As you may know, Uncode is already fully integrated with WooCommerce, the top e-commerce plugin for adding an online store to your WordPress website. Uncode 1.6 comes packed with support for the WooCommerce 3.1 update, so it will continue to work seamlessly with the plugin.
In addition, Uncode offers its own custom design options for product pages. This update brings amazing new functionalities to the WooCommerce single product page. Features we’ve added include a Product Zoom option that activates on a mouseover, a Product Carousel mode, a Stack Layout mode, and the Custom Width layout control.
Note: these new WooCommerce-related features, you’ll need to install WooCommerce 3.1.
Shadows, Radius and more Off-Grid options
In our effort to make Uncode the best theme for creatives and provide you with a powerful suite of options, we’ve implemented new features for layout management. With Uncode 1.6, you can create shadowed and bordered columns, and there are new off-grid options that enable you to create almost any layout possible. Plus, you can use the new diffused shadows option to provide a modern touch to every layout.
- Column Shadow and Border Radius
- Column more Off-Grid options
- Post Module & Media Gallery Shadow
- Post Module & Media Gallery Border Radius
Posts Module lateral Thumbnails
We’ve received a number of recent requests from users to update to key Uncode features. For example, we’ve heard from many who want the option to use lateral thumbnails ñ an excellent way to create unique blog styles. As of Uncode 1.6, you can do this in the Posts Module, with the new Content Lateral layout for thumbnails. This is a very popular option for blog layouts, but it can also be easily applied to your portfolios and products.
Centered Mobile Menu
Another popular request we’ve received is to create a new design style for Uncode’s mobile menu. That’s why we’ve developed the new centered mobile menu option. Using this design feature, you’ll be able to create a modern menu that mimics the overlay style on mobile devices.
More Button options
By default, Uncode uses ‘ghost’ style buttons that are fully transparent. This option is both modern and effective. However, we have now added classic style, ‘flat’, full-color buttons to the home page. You can set this option in the Visual Composer module, or change the behavior of all buttons at once through the Theme Options panel. In addition, we’ve also added several options that enable greater typographic control over your buttons.
Horizontal Drop-Down Menu options
For Uncode 1.6, we’ve added a horizontal menu option that provides greater control over the shadow drop-down and mega menu options. This way, you can create a more modern and appealing design, and you can animate the drop-down’s input.
URL History for Tabs and Accordions
This new feature has been repeatedly asked for by our customers, and we’ve implemented it as promised! Starting today, you can now activate the URL History permalink option on tabs and accordions, so visitors can navigate from an external page directly to the specific tab panel or accordion.
Dots and Arrows Header options
With these new options, you can place dots that enable header slide control in any location (as long as it conforms to the Uncode grid). This feature is essential if you want to create decentralized headers, and opens up new design possibilities.
Accent Links
Previously, Uncode text links inherited the same color used for headings. Although the result of this technique is very elegant and minimal, some users have asked for the option to use a separate color to accent links, so they are more obvious.
New options for the Icon Box Module
Many customers have asked us let them add links to the icons in the Icon Box module’s title field. Although this seems like a simple change, it creates a better user experience because every instance of an icon will be linked the same way.
Plugin Updates
As always, the latest Uncode update incorporates up-to-date versions of all plugins included in the theme. The version also includes both the new Slider Revolution Layer Slider and the Visual Composer Particles Background.
New Demo: Creative Digital Agency
This is an extremely modern and compelling layout. It makes stylish use of both pronounced shadows and off-grid elements combined with a stage-padding carousel.

Showcase Update
We have included many new sites in our showcase that can provide inspiration to our customers. Here, you’ll find great examples of high-quality websites created with the Uncode Creative theme. We’d like to thank all of the creators involved, for giving us permission to show the world the amazing websites they have built using our top-selling Uncode WordPress theme.
How to update Uncode
The easiest way to upgrade your version of Uncode is to activate the automatic theme update via the Envato WordPress Toolkit. If you don’t know how to do this, instructions are available in our documentation. You can also update manually if you prefer. Please remember to update both the theme and the incorporated plugins, such as Uncode Core and Visual Composer.
How to get Support
If you need help with the theme update, or if you have discovered an issue, we offer comprehensive support in our Help Center. We have a completely dedicated and highly-qualified support team ready to help you out. Please drop us a line, and we’ll get back to you with a solution as soon as possible.
What to do if your Support has expired
Whenever you buy an item on ThemeForest, you get access to either a 6- or 12-month support period, based on your choice of plan. If your support period has expired, you will no longer be able to access the Help Center. This is standard Envato policy, which all users must accept when purchasing items from ThemeForest. As top-selling developer, we are required to strictly comply with the official Envato policy. We hope you understand this necessity.
However, if you have discovered a possible issue with your Uncode update, you can still communicate the problem to us. Please do not use the Uncode item page comments section, since it is not designed for support. Plus, we’ll likely need to verify your installation details privately in order to help you. Instead, please use the contact form you’ll find on our Private Profile page. Include a comprehensive description of the issue and the URL of your installation, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible (priority is given to users with valid support licenses).
We also want to remind you that when a potential new issue is discovered in our Help Center, you can still download the fix through your site’s dashboard.
Need a new License?
If your support period has expired and you need to renew your license, please choose one of the following options:
Renew your support period. To reactivate your support, log in to your ThemeForest marketplace account, navigate to the Uncode WordPress Theme page, and choose one of the renewal options.
Buy a new license. If you plan to build more websites with Uncode, it is more cost-effective to purchase an additional license (which will include support) rather than extend the first license.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks for taking the time to read about our latest update! If you have any suggestions for new features you’d like to see in future versions of Uncode, we’d love to hear your ideas!
