More WordPress Templates

The building block of most sites is a portfolio!

I just created more custom theme page templates for the up coming VW Pro WordPress theme releases.
These are for portfolios or basically anything you want in this type of layout.
They are page templates that you can assign a category to and create endless portfolio type pages..

Horizontal Layout
Vertical Layout

As you can see in the vertical layout, the text is automatically converted to an excerpt and shrunk so the layout is even in size.

In both layouts the images are automatically cropped and linked via FancyBox jQuery light box effect animated popup display of the full size image as seen here when clicking on the images posted.

The images are inserted in the post via the custom post options in the post editor included with VW Pro Themes.

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!

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.
