# Supernova 6.5: A Major Update Just in Time for WordPress 6.9

![](https://4property.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/WordPress-6-9-Release-Email-Img.png)

We’re excited to announce **Supernova 6.5**, our biggest theme update in months — and it couldn’t have come at a better time. With [WordPress 6.9 now available](https://wordpress.org/news/2025/12/gene/), we’ve made sure Supernova is fully compatible and ready to take advantage of the latest features.

## The Big News: FAQ Is Now Built-In

If you’ve been using our separate Acquaint FAQ plugin, you can now uninstall it. **The entire FAQ functionality has been merged directly into Supernova** as a native module. This means:

- One less plugin to maintain
- Better performance
- Seamless integration with your theme settings
- Automatic updates alongside the theme

You’ll find the FAQ module in your Supernova settings, ready to use out of the box.

## A Smoother Mobile Experience

We’ve made several improvements to how Supernova behaves on mobile devices:

- **The mobile menu now closes when you tap outside of it** — a small change that makes a big difference in usability
- Fixed an issue where the overlay could sometimes get “stuck” on screen
- Increased the mobile menu font size for better readability

## Search That Actually Finds Everything

Previously, the WordPress search only looked through your posts and pages. Now, with a simple toggle in settings, **you can include all post types in your search results** — including WooCommerce products, FAQs, testimonials, and any custom content you’ve added.

## WooCommerce: Ready for Your Online Store

This update brings **extended WooCommerce support** with smarter integration:

- The theme now automatically detects WooCommerce — no manual settings required
- Products appear in site-wide search results
- New styling options for product variations
- Improved templates for a consistent shopping experience

## Performance & Security Improvements

Behind the scenes, we’ve done significant housekeeping:

- Removed legacy features that were slowing things down
- Eliminated unnecessary database queries
- Added security protections across all settings forms
- Introduced plugin restrictions to prevent conflicts with problematic plugins

## Accessibility Matters

Supernova now **respects your visitors’ motion preferences**. If someone has enabled “reduce motion” in their operating system, animations, and transitions will be minimized automatically. It’s a small touch that makes a big difference for users with vestibular disorders or motion sensitivity.

## Keeping Supernova Compatible

This update migrates internal patterns to template parts and reorganizes theme files to ensure a smooth transition as WordPress continues to evolve.

## How to Update

If you’re running Supernova, you should see the update available in your WordPress dashboard. As always, we recommend backing up your site before updating.

**For FAQ plugin users:** After updating to Supernova 6.5, you can safely deactivate and delete the Acquaint FAQ plugin. Your existing FAQs will continue to work through the new built-in module.
