Oracle 1.1 final is out now, along with Chameleon 1.1.2, and an update to all of our other themes as well.
The best way to see the updates is to check out the new demo video which will show you just how easy it is to control your homepage now, as well as the funky features of the menu bar!
And for a list of what all is new, read on!
All themes:
Every theme now has the option to use fullwidth page templates. That means that when you write a page, you can choose whether or not you want that page to have a sidebar (Just use the “Template” dropdown in the “Attributes” box!).
Oracle:
- Choose to list posts from any tag or category (Or even multiple ones) in your homepage columns, and set how many posts to show in each.
- Easily make sure posts in your homepage sidebar don’t show up in the main posts column.
- Turn off your homepage sidebar altogether and let the main posts area take up the full space.
- When you hover over a menu item in the navbar, its submenu stays in place even after you mouse away.
- Support for 3rd level menus.
- Dropdown arrows automatically added to menu items with submenus.
- Various bugfixes and 10 new Oracle-specific hooks to help handle any customization you want to make.
Chameleon:
- Easily add scripts to your header or footer section, either using the new options in the PliablePress panel, or creating script-header.js and script-footer.js files in your theme.
- Comments on pages now disabled by default, but you can turn them back on under PliablePress > Posts/Pages.
- Plenty of updates for developers to make creating child themes even easier (Full list in the changelog.txt file).
The majority of the Oracle updates above were based on feedback we got from our users. A huge thank you to everyone (Particularly the guys in the forum!) for their comments and ideas. Keep them coming, and we’ll keep making things even better!
