  • Nirvana version 1.2 and newer
  • Tempera version 1.4 and newer

This was fine when I was using an earlier version of WordPress, but since upgrading to WP 4.7.2 I'm reluctant to use it (and Mantra theme or any others dependent upon it) since it's not (yet) shown to be compatible with any WP version above 4.6.3.

Perfect. It's astonishingly easy to personnalize your theme with this plugin. Thank you dev !
