Nirvana 1.1.3 is all patched up

Nirvana

We don’t often send our themes to the doctor, but when we do we make sure they return all patched up. This is true for Nirvana 1.1.3 which returns so full of fixes and patches that one must wonder how it managed to function at all in the first place.

Well, the secret is that there’s so much functionality in Nirvana (and our other themes) that there’s bound to be something functional even when there’s so much that is buggy…

The good news is that Nirvana is now less buggy and you can enjoy the fixes listed in the changelog…

Tempera 1.3.3 has a temp

Tempera

Tempera is tempted to read The Tempest but she’s been feeling very temperamental lately and blames it on the high temperature. She’ll hire a temp to do the reading for her while also massaging her temples in her underground Temple.

More temp stuff plus a a fresh changelog after the jump.

Parabola 1.5.1 is invisible

Parabola

Another week, another round of small fixes for Parabola. This time some notices, slashes, alignments and styles get tweaked to bring her closer to perfection.

For specific changes, browse the changelog…

Mantra 2.4.1(.1) has an inner conflict

Mantra

So Mantra 2.4.1 saw the light of day a couple of days ago and brought with it a couple of fixes, support for WordPress 4.1+ ‘title-tag’ and the addition of our social media links to the theme’s admin page.

However this release includes a small glitch concerning child themes so you may want to postpone the update until 2.4.1.1 becomes live.

Zombie Apocalypse requiem V and update 2.0 with extra gore

Zombie Apocalypse

The Zombie Apocalypse is here! For the fifth year in a row… well not the actual apocalypse but your eponymous beloved, friendly, next door all bloody neighbour Wordpress theme.

Lost for a couple of days into the undead abyss of not-updated themes, we’ve put all coffee aside for a week and worked on bringing it back from the other side. This is version 2.0 of your favorite B-movie styled theme and a few things have changed but they’re all for the best…

Nirvana 1.1.2 notices some notices

Nirvana

Nirvana isn’t one not to notice, especially important changes as Wordpress 4.3 (which decided some code is no longer future-proof and should be deprecated).

To keep up with developments, the update to make some notices go away and leave them to be noticed only by those who should make the noticing is here. Plus notice the changelog…

Tempera 1.3.2 gets comfy with WordPress 4.3

Tempera

Tempera 1.3.2 took a quick crash course in PHP notices, learned how to do things safer and is here to share its updated code with the world.

The main change is the theme’s conformation with Wordpress’ 4.3 deprecating PHP 4 constructors in anticipation for PHP 7. For other things, see the changelog…

Parabola 1.5 is the smart one

Parabola

Parabola learned from experience to circumvent her younger sisters’ critical mistakes and brings you only the desert in this round of themes updates.

Among the most important additions are support for WPML and Polylang multilingualism in custom content areas and her newly achieved skills in the commerce sector with the inclusion of the WooCommerce compatibility (child theme) code and styling. For everything else…

Nirvana 1.1(.1) learns how to shop

Nirvana

Nirvana has entered the world of e-commerce and it’s getting its first taste of a nice haggle. It now officially supports the WooCommerce plugin so you’re free to go and take it our for a barter.

This version also adds WPML / Polylang support for the presentation page’s custom content so now everything is 100% translation ready.

Tempera 1.3(.1) becomes multilingual

Tempera

Tempera decided to spend her entire vacation going to summer school. The most important feature she brought back is support for WPML and Polylang multilingualism. You will now find all of Tempera’s custom text fields in Polylang’s translations section.

The second important change is the inclusion of the WooCommerce compatibility child theme code and styling. This should improve handling WooCommerce content, making the use of the separate child theme unnecessary. For the rest of the changes see the changelog…

Mantra 2.4 celebrates 4 years of existence

Mantra

It’s a time for joy and celebration, not just because a new Mantra update is here to correct and improve some long outstanding issues but also because this month, 4 years ago, our little Mantra opened its digital eyes and met with the Wordpress repository for the very first time. And boy what I ride it has been since…

Mantra is now 4 years old and although her little sisters are starting to surpass her, she’s still older, wiser and still has a few issues up her sleeves.

One of the most important changes in the latest update is the removal of shortcodes. The keep the [mantra] or [cryout] shortcodes working on your site, we’ve moved this functionality to a separate plugin…

Parabola 1.4.3 packs a few

Parabola

After a long, deserved and relaxing winter break Parabola returns into the world only to find a changed Wordpress. Things are different now, rules somehow feel heavier… There’s still some time left, but she can’t help but let her thoughts roam wild… What will happen next? Will she be able to adapt?

In the meantime, this is one of the larger updates (not in file size but in the number of items fixed, changed, added or improved), so remember to check the changelog for all the info.

Tempera 1.2.8 drops by

Tempera

Tempera is not afraid; Tempera does not bow to pressure. Despite the outstanding Customizer-imposed options execution order, Tempera does a quick pass-by and drops in its monthly pack of fixes and improvements.

Be sure to check the changelog for the full list.

Where is WordPress heading? To have or not have theme options…

WordPress Themes / Blog

Wordpress’ Theme Review Team seems to always be involved in a lot of decision making. That’s good, decisions have to be made and a direction needs to be set and maintained.

However lately the decisions seem to be taken hastily, without analysing all the effects (and maybe consequences) they have. We’ve had scuffles with Wordpress before, but we’ve moved on, adapted, clarified or changed things. But this new decision directly affects themes – meaning it touches us the most.

Tempera 1.2.7 wakes up from hibernation

Tempera

It’s been a long three months of freezing winter (with massive amounts of snow in places), but Tempera is now well rested and ready to return to fighting with the higher forces.

During this first round the fight consists of mostly localization and styling fixes, with a touch of Google fonts, new translations and some IE quirks. The pièce de résistance is, of course…

Nirvana 1.0.5 begins to thaw

Nirvana

No, you didn’t wet your WordPress. The moist you’re feeling in the front end of your site is normal and it’s coming straight from your favorite theme: Nirvana.

Follow us after the jump into uncharted waters in search of this version’s changelog.

Nirvana 1.0.4 gets an A in math

Nirvana

Math – the cause of most horrific disasters in history… well not quite, but math is indeed the culprit for Nirvana’s last release’s failing settings page. Fortunately Nirvana 1.0.4 took a quick course in advanced mathematics and learned that the best solution to avoid any issues is to consider negative fractions as equal to zero (if that makes sense).

So here she is, proud to show off her best grade in math – A (or 10, or 5… depending on what region of the world you’re in)

Nirvana 1.0.3 (re)embraces Google fonts

Nirvana

It is here! The fix that fixes all the previous fixes. After a (somewhat) long shaken up period, Nirvana 1.0.3 finally brings back the beloved Google fonts. And hopefully this time for good.

So you’d better get busy in setting up your very own Google fonts, hugging and kissing and loving them, for you may never know how long will pass before they’re gone again…

Nirvana 1.0.2 woke up with a hangover

Nirvana

The latest version of our Nirvana WordPress theme gets here right after the New Year and just in time to fix the nasty bug that broke the theme on some servers.

Join us after the jump to find out exactly what has happened in the last few hours leading up to this version’s release.
