Exisiting Customers

Some existing customers might feel backward compatibility issues. We have handled the backward compatibility for existing customers by offering filters. Here are the filters:

Updating customizer defaults for enhancing frontend UI.

add_filter( 'astra_get_option_customizer-default-layout-update', '__return_true' ); 

Enabling the updated improved block editor experience with unloading legacy Astra block setup. 

add_filter( 'astra_get_option_blocks-legacy-setup', '__return_false' );

add_filter( 'astra_get_option_wp-blocks-v2-ui', '__return_true' );

Enabling minor improvements for the modern Ecommerce setup.

add_filter( 'astra_get_option_modern-ecommerce-setup', '__return_true' );
