Description
- This is a follow up re: Bug #13418 (customize panel not showing on the PressForward theme).
Thank you for looking into the issue. The customize panel is now showing on the theme. However, there still seems to be an issue with it.
Under the "Home Page Layout" panel, I only see two categories (slider options and footer) even though there need to be four additional categories (blocks #2 to #5). This "Home Page Layout" panel is one of the important panels that shows a lot of crucial information in my static home page. So I need to be able to change the content frequently.
Could you please check this issue? Thank you very much.

- Status changed from New to Reporter Feedback
- Target version set to 1.17.6
I poked around for a bit and noticed that pressforward-turnkey-theme registered its Customizer sections with capital letters ("Block2") but later referenced them with lowercase ("block2"). There must've been a change in the Kirki library such that these strings used to be case-insensitive but now are case-sensitive. As such, the Customizer sections were empty (no associated fields) and so weren't rendered. I standardized on lowercase and it now appears to be working. This change is live on the production site.
For broader context, it looks like the pressforward-turnkey-theme is no longer actively maintained by the PF team. I have pushed up a branch that contains my fixes, and once we're satisfied that they're working reasonably well I can send a pull request to the repo. See https://github.com/PressForward/pressforward-turnkey-theme/tree/kirki-upgrade But I'm not sure whether anyone will be there to receive the PR.
- Target version changed from 1.17.6 to 1.17.7
Punting this one more version in case there's more user feedback. In a week or two I'll process a PR for the GitHub repo.
- Target version changed from 1.17.7 to 1.17.8
Hi Boone... If you issue that pull request, I'll be sure to follow up with Mandy and Sean. The theme is a separate repository from the plugin. Once the PR is initiated, I can also ask them about future plans. As you know, future active development is contingent on a pending funding request, but there are no outstanding PRs on the repository that I can see.
Thanks for your help!
- Status changed from Reporter Feedback to Resolved
Looks like the PR has been merged upstream, so I think we can mark this one resolved.
