Another update keeping up with the trend started in v2.3.0 which means more cosmetic changes.
This version also fixes the search form, adds a new Steam icon and removes the auto-redirect to the theme’s settings page after theme install / update.
Not much to say about this version. Just some small cosmetic changes, a new social icon (Steam) and a small fix for multi-line breadcrumbs.
We also disabled the auto-redirect to Parabola’s settings page after theme install / update. Full changelog after the click.
Tempera Theme sneak preview
It may seem that Cryout Creations turned into a one man team lately, but the truth is that while Zed has been making update announcements and provided (some) support, Mr. Kay in true creative mind and spirit has been investing almost all time in constructing his latest masterpiece: the Tempera theme.
Currently in (almost) beta state, Tempera is a siamese twin of Parabola options wise but a wealthy distant cousin as features and functionality are concerned. With just a few more things to put into place, the Tempera theme should be released in the upcoming days.

Mantra received attention in the form of new responsiveness enhancements, a new media uploader, smaller social icons, updated comments and form design, updated admin interface design and some other small fixes.
More about Mantra’s revieved attention and the full changelog for this update after the jump.
In this update we addressed the responsiveness issue again. With new browser detection and a responsive check for resolutions below 1100px, responsiveness has been greatly improved.
This version also comes bundled with improved plugin compatibility and a new media uploader for the theme settings page. Full changelog after the jump.
And since good things come in pairs, today both our Parabola and Mantra updates got published (almost at the same time) by Wordpress.
The triple-two release of Mantra is a maintenance update providing fixes for some issues discovered since the last release.
After a bit of quarrel with the Wordpress theme review team (which even triggered a Codex instructions/rules update) and a rejected update, Parabola won and the new version is up for grabs.
The major change is in the presentation page’s behaviour, which will now display latest posts by default and which can be overridden by Wordpress’ “Show on frontpage” option…
You might have thought we were goners after such a long pause in new posts… but we did not go quietly into the night… we did not vanish without a fight… we’ve fought the cold and now we’re back!
Between fighting viruses and running noses, we actually found some time to update both Mantra and Parabola and also prepare a surprise to all creation lovers out there…
OpenCart themes and modules updates
So we’ve been busy bees today testing out modules and themes on OpenCart 1.5.6 (just 67 days after it was launched) and we’ve come up with some updates.
The modules work out-of-the-box with the latest version but we’ve updated some anyway. The themes (almost) always require compatibility updates.
The latest Parabola weekly update is not far behind Mantra. Version 1.2.0 brings a couple of bugfixes, two new social icons and the Dutch translation.
Read the changelog for further details…
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…
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.
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.
Nothing “extraordinaire”, just a small set of fixed and improvements, part of our (brand new and totally unconfirmed) semi-weekly updates release schedule.
