Why did the SW Pillar Section GIF flash huge and then jump into place?
On a cold first load, the two-column layout CSS used to arrive after the page painted, so a GIF in the content column could show full-width on the left, then settle. PageSpeed often misses that because the lab run already has CSS cached.
After 2026.08.22.12.24, Pillar styles load with the page so the columns are in place on first paint. Hard-refresh once after your theme update. A second refresh looking fine is expected once CSS is cached.
Why did SW Pillar Section Outer Aurora not show on the page?
Before 2026.08.24.10.17, Style could enable Outer Aurora Overlay without painting the wash. After that version, Outer and Inner Aurora render when the fill is Color, Custom, Gradient, or Image. Aurora still does not show when Outer is Animated, None, or Divider.
Hard-refresh published pages after your theme update. If Aurora is on and still missing, confirm Outer is not Animated.
How do I add space above the buttons in SW Pillar Section?
Open SW Pillar Section → Content → the primary or secondary content column → CTA Buttons → Space Above Buttons (px). Default is 0 (flush with the copy). Set 20 to match the old built-in gap.
Buttons in a row keep a 16px gap between them. Existing pages that used to sit 20px below the copy will sit flush until you set the field.
What happens if I turn on Override Desktop, Tablet, or Mobile Image in SW Pillar Section but leave the image empty?
After 2026.08.24.11.36, that breakpoint hides the image. Smaller breakpoints inherit the hide until another override has a file. The media column collapses so the text goes full width.
The same hide applies to Module Outer and Module Inner background images; overlay and base color stay. Extra Large Desktop still shows the placeholder if empty. If Override is off, that breakpoint still inherits the larger image.
Hard-refresh published pages after your theme update.
What is SVG Overlay on SW Hero?
SVG Overlay is an optional layer on the SW Hero Outer band. Turn it on in Style, paste SVG markup in Content, then choose appear and/or twinkle (Slow / Medium / Fast). It sits on top of the Outer color, image, gradient, or Aurora wash, and under the Inner content. It stays off until you enable it. It is not available when Outer is None, Divided/Split, or Animated.
From 2026.08.24.19.13, Disable SVG Overlay hides that overlay independently on Extra Large, Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile. The toggles do not copy from one size to another. The same overlay + disable pattern also ships on SW Cards, SW Pillar Section, SW Pillar Slides, SW Testimonials, and SW Footer Columns.
How is SVG Overlay different from Aurora on SW Hero?
Aurora is a soft color wash over the Outer (or Inner) fill. SVG Overlay is a pasted SVG drawing (for example a grid of squares) that can appear and twinkle. They can stack: SVG Overlay sits above Aurora and below Inner content. Aurora is not required to use SVG Overlay.
Can I hide SVG Overlay on tablet or mobile without turning it off everywhere?
Yes. After 2026.08.24.19.13, Style includes Disable SVG Overlay for Extra Large, Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile. Each toggle is independent — hiding Tablet does not hide Desktop. Defaults are off. This ships on SW Hero, SW Cards, SW Pillar Section, SW Pillar Slides, SW Testimonials, and SW Footer Columns. Hard-refresh published pages after your theme update.
What happens if I turn on a Desktop, Tablet, or Mobile image override and leave the image empty?
The photo hides at that breakpoint and smaller until another override has a file. Overlay and base color stay. Extra Large still uses the editor placeholder if empty.
On SW Pillar Section this also collapses the media column so copy goes full width. The same empty-hide now applies to Outer/Inner (and Heading Panel where that surface exists) on SW Hero, SW Cards, SW Pillar Slides, SW Testimonials, and SW Footer Columns. Hard-refresh published pages after your theme update.
How do I show the brand-kit logo in SW Footer Columns?
Leave Logo Image empty. The module uses the HubSpot brand-kit logo in the page editor and on the live site (same idea as SW Header Simple). Upload a Logo Image only when you want a different file. After 2026.08.24.19.13, an empty override no longer blanks the logo. Republish global footer content after your theme update.
When should I use SW Cards Blog instead of SW Blog Cards?
SW Cards Blog is the current blog-post card section. It uses the same Outer/Inner, Aurora, and heading-panel controls as SW Cards, and it pulls real blog posts like the older SW Blog Cards module.
On tag, author, and all-posts listing URLs the module outputs nothing so those pages can keep their dedicated lists and titles. Website and landing Cards Blog is unchanged.
Do not overwrite SW Blog Cards with Cards Blog. For related posts on a single article, use SW Blog Related Posts. For manual non-blog cards, use SW Cards.
