On Wednesday, April 2, 2025, the WordPress UW Theme was updated to version 1.39.0 in the WiscWeb service. A full list of changes in this version of the UW Theme can be reviewed in the changelog.

This release includes two bug fixes and an update for ACF Pro.

ACF Pro update

Within this release, we have upgraded the theme to ACF Pro 6.3.12.

Fixed: Fac/staff image display inconsistencies in Chrome

Users of the Chrome noticed changes to the way that fac/staff images have been displaying in the browser.

Two groupings of image and text. One is a smaller image and one is a larger image.

This inconsistency in image display has been fixed with this release.

Fixed: HTML in RSS feeds

A user noted that content like italicized text was coming in through RSS feeds as HTML tags.

A Publication related to MST1R that shows "em" tags surrounding the text, indicating that it will be italicized.

This should now come in as expected.
