Mantra 2.2.0 blends in

Keeping to the weekly update schedule, Mantra 2.2.0 comes with the often requested options to include latest posts on the presentation page (the number of posts is independently configurable) and select the menu items alignment.

How to use a custom menu in your WordPress website

Custom menus are advanced functionality for controlling the content of the menus built into Wordpress since version 3.0.

They are meant to be used when the auto-generated menus no longer suit the desired content/functionality of the site or when custom links / custom structures are needed.

Parabola 112 is no emergency

Nothing is burning, nothing blew up, no zombie invasion, no reason to call 112.
The latest Parabola update drops in to solve the last outstanding issue “featured” in the 1.1.0 release and add three new options.

Read the changelog for specifics…

Parabola 1.1.1(.1) flexes with glasses

We like ones so much we made three more Parabolas 1.1… We actually don’t like them so much, we kind of had to…

Parabola 1.1.1.1 fixes the outstanding issues with double widgets in the sidebar and lack of responsiveness introduced in 1.1. For the missing presentation page…

Mantra 2.1.1 is still young

And a new first: two theme updates in the same day. No, we didn’t go mad (yet), this is just how Wordpress’ review theme decided to do the checks and approvals.

Just to prove it isn’t that old, Mantra makes a dash, catches up and gets a new (minor) version update, with several small changes and additions detailed in the changelog.

Parabola 1.1.0 sees double

It’s here! The first step forward after reaching maturity, Parabola 1.1.0 packs a long list of changes, improvements and, of course, fixes. It’s not trying to be perfect (more on this later) but it does its best to evolve and grow.

To expand a bit on the new features, changes, fixes and bundled issues, Parabola 1.1.0…

Zombie Apocalypse requiem III and update 1.41

Three is a magic number. And everything comes in threes in this special edition post celebrating our first ever WordPress theme.

And it was 3 years ago when yours truly wrote his first ever WordPress post simply entitled “Zombie Apocalypse Theme”.

Cryout Creations is getting older

We’ll break the update posts streak with a quick ‘Happy Birthday’ that we’d like to say to ourselves on Cryout Creations’ sixth birthday.

Nothing fancy, join us after the jump if you want to see what the previous incarnations of Cryout Creations used to look like.

Maintenance notice

Sunday, September 8th we’ve moved things to a new server.

To keep our website content consistent we made everything read-only on the old server – no new comments / forum topics / support requests are accepted.

If you are seeing this message then you are getting content from the new server, and everything should work for you. If you encounter any issues, let us know.

Parabola 1.0.2 goes by unnoticed

Nothing “extraordinaire”, just a small set of fixed and improvements, part of our (brand new and totally unconfirmed) semi-weekly updates release schedule.

Read more to see the (relatively short) changelog…

Parabola 1.0.1 patches things up

The latest album entitled “Parabola: Patching things up” is a collection of previously unreleased tracks from your favourite band: The CryOuts.

Live recordings of fixes and bootleg releases of patches come together in a never before heard compilation.

Mantra 2.1 is all grown up

Mantra is all grown up now. The latest 2.1 update brings a cosmetic update of the settings page, together with quite a few other general fixes and improvements.

Responsiveness, performance and ease of use have all been polished for a better all-round user experience.

Parabola 1.0 is yours to take home!

Our latest WordPress theme, Parabola, has finally reached version 1.0. Apart from increasing stability and greatly improving responsiveness, this version also introduces preset color schemes. You can now switch between 12 different looks for your site with just one mouse click.

A more detailed intro and full changelog after the jump.

Parabola 0.9.9 is one step closer to “gold”

Well here’s something new: both me and Zed wrote intros for Parabola’s latest release. Somebody didn’t check existing drafts (not pointing any fingers… because it was me) and so we each wrote something and we can’t just throw that away.

So while there’s nothing really that special about this release, here are the two intros for it:

Parabola 0.9.8 is boiling hot!

Just like we promised, we bring you a fresh new version of Parabola right at your doorstep. Careful how you handle it cause this one’s hot!
Apart from extra sugar and extra cream we also included a couple of responsiveness fixes, updated to the newest version of Nivo Slider, moved a few options around and added a dropdown menu shadow setting.

Delicious, I know! But check out the complete list of ingredients.

Parabola 0.9.7.3 and the quick fix

Are you in need of a fix? Well you’ve come to the right place. We just happen to have a quick one. The Parabola version we previously released came really close to perfection. But since something perfect never has something like version 0.9.7.2 next to it, you were probably expecting this.

So here’s the changelog for this version.

Parabola download/install issue fixed; grab it now from WordPress

Just a quick update for those that had issues with the Parabola installation. We’ve presented the problem to the guys at WordPress and the issue was that one of the servers had a bad ZIP of the theme and that’s why there was a chance that upon download you’d get the bad file. But it’s all fixed now, all thanks to the great guys at WordPress.

So go get yourself a new fresh copy of Parabola if you’ve had problems with the download till now. Theme on!

Parabola 0.9.7(.2) gets approved by WordPress

Yay! Parabola has been (finally) approved by Wordpress, so it should become live in the next couple of hours/days (who knows… weeks?). and is now live and available for install with just two clicks!

There’s a bit of version mess because of the needed last minute changes required for approval. All three versions (0.9.7, 0.9.7.1 and 0.9.7.2) are mostly the same, the latter two coming with small changes that don’t affect the functionality in any way.

Mantra 2.0.7.1 fixes the menu

Always when changing things around (theoretically improving) there’s bound for something to go wrong.

In this case, the main menu dropdown functionality failed on Wordpress installations that used the automatically-generated menu (not custom menus). But this is now fixed.
