Preparing for the next big step in Mantra’s life (namely v2.1) which should bring along a surprise (or more), we’re releasing a maintenance update in the form of 2.0.7.
When updating to Wordpress 3.6, also update Mantra to at least 2.0.7 otherwise the theme configuration page will misbehave (due to a limitation in our jQuery version checking function)
Parabola’s first encounter with its initial Wordpress review didn’t go quite as we planned (actually it didn’t go at all as we planned; but evil master plans for taking over the world rarely work). Nonetheless, Parabola is making steps forward and the new update has already been submitted for review.
So, without further ado, here’s the changelog for version 0.9.6…
Our themes (including Mantra and Parabola) feature a special page template titled “Category Page with Intro” which allows us to display a category of posts coupled with a custom intro to that category.
This is a page template, so it will show up in the page templates list when creating/editing a page while using one of our themes. What is typed into the page content is what Wordpress will display as the intro on the category.
Now this is something you don’t see everyday (or at least you didn’t until now). Two theme updates in two days.
Parabola is getting closer and closer to inclusion in the themes repository. To give it a nudge in the right direction, we are releasing another update – v0.9.5 – addressing a couple of little issues we’ve found or been told about in the meantime.
Read the rest to see the changelog.
Although we’ve been busy with Parabola lately, we haven’t abandoned Mantra at all. In fact, we are releasing a new minor update today, fixing and improving little details.
Read the rest to see the changelog.
Two weeks after its release into the wild, Parabola is out of the queue and entering the Wordpress review process. To mark this, we have released the latest (still kind of beta) update – 0.9.4 – which removes some, fixes some, improves some and adds some.
You’ll find the changelog by reading the rest…
You probably haven’t been waiting for it that much but nevertheless here it is. The newest Cryout Creations theme is finally available for download. We’ve tested it as much as we could but it’s still practically a beta until you guys get a go with it.
Parabola is just as free as Mantra, the forum is already live and we’re looking forward to getting feedback from you guys. Download link after the jump.
Another small update, released mostly to fix the font styling bug created in 2.0.4.1.
You can see this as well as other fixes in the changelog.
Yet another oddly numbered Mantra version that adds some minor features and fixes some minor issues and adds a brand new bug.
Check out the changelog after the jump.
This is a pretty straightforward how-to. We’ve seen this asked so much around the web and answered so poorly that we decided to try and make it a little clearer.
As this is actually a WordPress option there’s no PHP code that you must insert, there are no CSS tricks you must do and there’s no plugin that you must install. Just a couple of clicks.
So our mysterious creation that’s been keeping us busy for a while now – Parabola – has reached beta stage.
It is now near its final design and all options have been implemented, while we are working on chasing out the bugs and testing that all options do in fact perform as they’re supposed to.
Mantra 2.0.3.1 – a numerical riddle celebrating 2 years of Mantra since its launch on the 31st of May 2011 …
Pending the release of Parabola, Mantra version 2.0.3 brings a new wave of small enhancements and fixes.
Unfortunately, it also brings a tiny itsy bitsy bug which will render the built-in font options unusable. This has already been fixed and version 2.0.3.1 is pending Wordpress review. In the meantime, the manual steps to fixing this issue…
Today we are releasing a maintenance update for our veteran OpenCart module – CR2 HTML Module / CR2 HTML Module Pro.
This update fixes some bugs and improves a couple of features…
Between fine-tuning the latest incarnations of Mantra, drinking our coffee, gaming like maniacs (more or less) and preparing ourselves for Mantra’s two year anniversary, we’ve also been very busy masterminding our next world-conquering creation – Parabola.
While theoretically being an offspring of Mantra, Parabola differentiates itself through its mathematically-precise design, lightness and abundance of corners.
Installing a Wordpress theme can be easy or difficult, depending on the theme and it’s availability (or lack thereof) in the Wordpress themes directory.
The automatic installation process comes very handy with published themes, but sometimes things fail or themes are not available, and one must resort to the old fashioned files upload via FTP. This tutorial describes all ways.
The series of small fixes for version 2 continues. This update is not important enough to get an intro so we’ll see you after the jump with the detailed changelog.
Mantra v2 was so big that all future updates will live in its shadow. And it’s cold and damp in the shadow of Mantra, let me tell you that.
So, although very brave to come right after it, version 2.0.1 has a lackluster feel to it. It’s from missing all that sunlight.
Several new features have been added in the latest v0.9.6 CR2 Alter Menu update: the {category=ID} shortcode, mobile menu support, custom menu items are sorted by sort_order, new “module news” section in the backend.
Mantra 2.0 is almost here! In a few days you’ll be able to get your hands on a fresh copy of your favorite WordPress theme.
You’ll have plenty of new options to get your hands on, plus a better settings page. Improved plugin compatibility and responsiveness and a lot of bug fixes abound in this new version.
