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…
