Some VW Pro Theme Additions

VW Pro Theme Options Page

I added some tweaks to the VW Pro Theme options page.
It really looks awesome now and is quite a bit easier to navigate with collapsing blocks for each of the many theme options categories.
Also each category has it’s own save button.

The New VW Pro Contact Form

I added another option to the form allowing you to set a priority field with configurable drop down options.
DEMO
I absolutely love the reCaptcha :)

Some FeedBurner Changes

I recoded the FeedBurner feature entirely with error checking and statistics included.
Basically if it fails, it will tell you with the FeedBurner error message.

Side Note:
Future customers, you can add this code to your .htaccess file and redirect all WordPress RSS links to your FeedBurner Feed.
Make sure you change the Your_Id

VW Pro Twitter Features

I coded a completely new twitter options for the sidebar.
It now shows all of the stats, options to show the profile picture and up to 20 of the latest tweets.
Also configurable height so you can have a scroll bar instead of a long list of tweets.
Absolutely no javascript or external javascripts required. This is entirely PHP and cached for an hour.
You can view these changes in the sidebar here to the right.

New FaceBook Like Options

Added the newest FaceBook feature, FaceBook Like.
This feature has options to show or not show the profile pictures of the users that liked the post.
It also has options to show the like button on the blog and/or single post page.

I will be adding even more features, if I can come up with some. Running out of ideas………

The first WP Pro Theme should be for sale very soon!

Full Browser Support

Twitter Feeds in WordPress

Well I finally took the time to make the full feed for the sidebars in VW Pro WordPress themes.
It has some nice features, and is cached to keep compliant with Twitter.

VW Pro WordPress Twitter Feed Features
  • Display up to 20 tweets or limit them to as little as the latest 1
  • Display Twitter profile picture or not
  • Change the feed title
  • Display stats or not
  • Show screen name or not
  • Adjustable Feed height

These are all adjustable via the VW Pro Theme options panel.
This is also all pulled via PHP so there are no extra Javascript files loaded.

VW Pro Themes Contact Form

This is the all new Contact Form built into and available in Valid-Webs Premium WordPress Themes.
It boasts the awesome reCaptcha spam protection and many options available via the extended theme options panel.
Settings in the options panel

  • reCaptcha Public API Key
  • reCaptcha Private API Key
  • Default email address
  • Carbon Copy (CC) email address
  • Show General Options or not
  • General options input box, as many as you want separated by commas.
  • Show Found Us Where or not
  • Found Us Where input box, as many as you want separated by commas.

General Options can be useful for listing services to select from for a pre-Subject.
Found Us Where is very useful for keeping up on how people are finding you when they submit a message.

Some other features that get added to each message,

  • Users browser details (User Agent)
  • Users IP
  • Submitted Date

These extra details give you the necessary info to block someone should they abuse the contact form.
