Custom Bylines now available in newsletters
The Newsletters’ Posts Inserter block now supports the post’s custom byline. Any stories included in your newsletters with a custom byline will use that instead of the default post author:
Sticky footer ads extended to desktop
The Sticky Footer ad placement is no longer limited to mobile devices, and can now be used to place ads on desktop. When you edit the Sticky Footer placement going forward, you’ll be able to include ad units with a 728×90 size along with the original 320×50 and 300×50 sizes.
Display subtitles in archives
The Newspack Theme now has an option to display the Article Subtitle on the Category, Tag, and Author archive pages. To enable, navigate to Customizer > Template Settings > Archive and check “Show subtitles for all archives”.
