We are going to release Kirki this month (November, 2021) and I want to bring one breaking change to your attention.

If you have custom controls registered with Kirki, the following change needs to be implemented asap.

Usually, when registering a custom control with Kirki, you would do something like this:

class Prefix_Your_Custom_Control extends Kirki_Control_Base { ...

This needs to be changed. Even though we have aliases in place for the Kirki_Control_Base class, you may run into race condition issues.

Please change Kirki_Control_Base to Kirki\Control\Base. Your final code would look something like this:

class Prefix_Your_Custom_Control extends Kirki\Control\Base { ...

Kirki 4 Release
