Zombie Apocalypse requiem VII and update 2.1.0

It’s almost that time of the year again: the time of ghouls and goons, vampires and werewolves, zombies and ghosts, all roaming the streets and sites again.

All this evil and witchcraft always reminds us of our oldest and darkest theme of all – Zombie Apocalypse. We try not to give it much attention and not too often because evil should stay dead and buried, but it does make it back to haunt us every year or so.

View Changelog

Changelog:

  • Cleaned up “!important” usage in the style
  • Fixed theme’s general font overlapping WordPress admin bar icons
  • Updated theme tags
  • Updated and rearranged options panels in the customizer
  • Updated theme about page with current information, info and social links

WordPress and theme options part II – the fracture

As you might know by now, themes in the official repository are no longer allowed to implement a theme options page. All new themes were required since early this year to implement support for the Customizer and some weeks ago this rule became mandatory for themes already published in the repository as well.

We’ve given this a great deal of thought and we decided not to transfer theme options to the Customizer interface. We built our themes settings to fit and work in a certain way and we feel the Customizer structure just isn’t right for them.

Show your WordPress theme some love

Are you happy with the WordPress theme you’re using? Would you consider yourself and your theme as best buds? Or do you think of your theme as sexy?

Themes are a big part of what makes WordPress great and the search for that perfect one is a long and winding road. Has that road come to and end for you?

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”.

Changelog:

  • Replaced deprecated add_custom_background() and add_custom_image_header() with add_theme_support()
  • Replaced deprecated TEMPLATEPATH with get_template_directory()

Well that was it. Only 3 days after celebrating 6 years of Cryout Creations and we have to get back to the heavy drinking for this one as well. It’s a tough job but someone’s gotta do it. Oh and don’t worry, only coffee and hot cocoa are on the menu.

Zombie Apocalypse requiem II

Yap, it’s finally here – our Zombie Apocalypse’s second year anniversary. We love watching it grow up and bleed all over.

Many things have happened this past year: a lot of eaten corpses, roaming bodies and mindless cadavers.

Now that all important moment in time has come when summer has passed and autumn – the season of dying – is crawling towards our doors.
