Details on how the new widget support of the plugins affect our themes:

Nop Instant Search - no more automatic and manual integration as it is now integrated as a widget. In all themes the Themes\ThemeName\Views\Catalog\SearchBox.cshtml file is deleted.

Nop Cloud Zoom - no more automatic and manual integration as it is now integrated as a widget. In all themes in the Themes\ThemeName\Views\Catalog\ProductTemplate.SingleVariant.cshtml and ProductTemplate.VariantsInGrid.cshtml the manual integration of the Cloud Zoom is removed.

Nop Ajax Cart - no more automatic and manual integration as it is now integrated as a widget. When the Nop Ajax Cart is enabled, it automatically disables the redirection to the shopping cart by disabling the shopping cart setting "Display Cart after adding product".
