Mobile Friendly Design

Just as all our recent themes, Anchor is completely responsive and will look good on virtually every device. The best way to see responsive Anchor in action is to visit the demo site with your smartphone or to resize your browser window while on the demo site.

Hassle-free Updates

With Anchor you won’t have to worry about updating the theme, notifications about new updates will come directly to your WordPress dashboard. What’s more, you’ll be able to perform the update right there inside the dashboard. Be careful though…updating will undo all your customization so be sure to back everything up first.

More than just a Blog theme

On top of being an awesome magazine theme, Anchor can also be used to start a fancy online webstore. To enable that Anchor is compatible with the free WooCommerce plugin. Digital, physical, variable products…with WooCommerce you can sell pretty much anything.

Unlimited Colors

Instead of providing a couple of preset skins, Anchor will allow you to define colors for things like buttons, titles, header, footer and so on. All of this is accomplished using the WordPress Customizer meaning you get to see your site change in real-time.

New Shortcodes

Anchor comes with an extensive selection of shortcodes created using Twitter Bootstrap. Along with standard shortcodes such as alert boxes or icon lists you can also add tabs, galleries, tooltips, popovers and more. A full list of shortcodes is available on the Anchor demo site

Hope you’ll love this upgrade. Wishing you greatest success selling your mobile app :)

The post iPhone App theme is upgraded appeared first on Templatic.

Although the new version looks the same as the last one, that is where the similarities end. With the new version we wanted to provide the tools which will allow you to see the book(s) on the actual site (and Amazon if you wish). How will this be possible? WooCommerce!

Let’s take a look at some of the changes that will make your book-selling experience a whole lot easier

Cater to any audience

With eBook v2 you won’t have to worry about your mobile visitors, the theme will render great on both desktop and mobile devices. eBook v2 features a responsive design which will adapt to the visitors screen size.

Showcase and sell books

As hinted earlier, eBook v2 is completely WooCommerce compatible. For those unfamiliar with WooCommerce, it is a free WordPress plugin which you can use to sell pretty much anything. You’ll find more information about the plugin inside the eBook theme guide.

With WooCommerce you can link both the main Purchase button and the image to a product on your own site. PayPal is supported out of the box, while other gateways can be added as paid extras. Selling on Amazon is now just a perk, not the only option.

A flexible homepage

Even though they look the same, homepages in eBook and eBook v2 function in completely different ways. In eBook v2 the homepage is controlled entirely from the Appearance -> Widgets section meaning you can easily swap widgets between one another. With widgets you’ll even be able to display WooCommerce content like products or the cart.

WordPress SEO and bbPress support

To help boost your site ranking eBook v2 has been made completely compatible with WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin. The theme doesn’t come with any built-in SEO settings, it is completely dependent on this (awesome) plugin.

To help you start a community, the theme has also been made compatible with bbPress forum plugin. bbPress works within your WordPress install making it super-easy to manage and get started. If you’re looking to start a community around your book/website – this is the way to do it.

Shortcodes

eBook v2 comes with an extensive selection of shortcodes created using Twitter Bootstrap. Along with standard shortcodes such as alert boxes or icon lists you can also add tabs, galleries, tooltips, popovers and more. A full list of shortcodes is available on the eBook v2 demo site

Automatic Updates

This feature has been at the top of our list for quite some time, but, it’s finally here! With eBook v2 you won’t have to worry about updating the theme, notifications about new updates will come directly to your WordPress dashboard. What’s more, you’ll be able to perform the update right there inside the dashboard. Be careful though…updating will undo all your customizations so be sure to back everything up first.

Here’s an overview of all the (awesome) stuff that’s been going on in the past year

Theme launches and upgrades

We introduced several unique new themes: eMarket, Tech News, Realtr, Price Compare, Education Academy, Catalog, NightLife and Cool Cart.

Upgraded existing mighty themes such as GeoPlaces, Real Estate, Daily Deal, Job Board, Events, Vacation Rental and Hotel Booking.

Best of all, we introduced Tevolution plugin, our biggest release of the year and symbolize a big shift in handling theme releases. It took the most time for us to develop but it will make things lot easier for everyone going forward. You’ll get benefit of real power of revolution in year 2013.

Other development

What started as a feature is now a must have standard in web design world wide. All new templatic themes now includes mobile ready designs known as responsive technique.

Earlier in the year, we adapted Supreme – a theme framework that will make designing things easier. All our recent theme releases is built on this.

In order to clean up, several themes from templatic store were retired to make room for new development and innovation.

Shift to WooCommerce

In early October we made all our e-commerce themes WooCommerce compatible. As WooCommerce continued to grow we decided it would be cool to give our e-commerce members an option too choose the shopping-cart you want to use.

20 people strong

Any company that wishes to grow must expand the workforce. Templatic is no different, sometime in June we had about 18 people working in our offices in India with extra two telecommuting from USA and Europe.

The cake!

A Templatic member was so happy with the support we provided that she sent us a cake all the way to India at our office! Maybe a small gesture, but it was a very special moment of appreciation for all of us in the team. To this day the team is still arguing which was better – the surprise or the actual cake :)

Docs center

After a few weeks of hard work, the Docs site was finally opened to public. The docs site enables you view all support content on one place.

Taking this further, we are also working on a custom support solution to combine documentation, forums and help desk together which will make support easier, faster and more efficient. More news on this later.

Conferences & Events

WordCamp Mumbai was the fourth WC event in India. Just like in Jabalpur, we attended and spoke at the event.

Also we had the privilege to attend the PressNomics conference in Phoenix, Arizona and meet up with so many popular WP folks.

Other

While you were on Christmas holidays, we moved over to FireHost for better security and stability. This means you will have better access to website and less downtimes :)

Finally, ended the year with Christmas sale. You still have until tomorrow to get benefit of Buy 1, Get 3 themes and club membership offer.

So that was year 2012. Looking back, I guess we matured as a business and took some bitter but right decisions. This not being the fastest but a good, awesome year for us.

We are turning 5 year old in year 2013 and hope to bring in awesome innovations and solutions that will make online presence quicker and easier for everyone this year.

Happy New Year!

The post Year 2012 – an overview appeared first on Templatic.

Those of you who’ve been with us for a few years know that they can expect some sweet deals come Christmas. Well, this year is no different! Similarly to last year, we will be offering cool deals for both single-theme and club purchases!

Past Christmas sales often didn’t reward those that missed the sale for a few days. This time is a little different… Every member that purchased a theme in the past week gets the two extra themes! Just as those that purchased a single-theme, all members that opted for the Club membership in the last week get the extra 6 months! Please note that this only applies to those that made the purchase between December 17h, 2012 and today. Read the instructions below to see how you can claim your themes.

How this works?

• Grab any theme from our Themes Gallery or Club membership and complete the checkout process
• If you purchased the Club membership after this post was published – you’re done, the extra months are already added. If you purchased it in the past week or you purchased a single theme please click on the claim button below.

We wish you all an awesome Christmas and a legenwait-for-itdary New Year!

Even though the hack that happened last month was in no way, shape or form a nice experience, it did show us the need to improve the overall stability and security of the site. The time has come to do just that!

If you need to download a theme, document or any other piece of content please do it now, you won’t be able to do it during the downtime

The big move will be happening tomorrow, December 20, 2012. During this time templatic.com and all sub-sites like the forums, Helpdesk and Docs center will be nonoperational. By our calculations the sites will be unavailable for 24 hours.

During the maintenance period all news and updates will be published on our Facebook and Twitter.
