Themify themes have long used Google Web Fonts, since it's the most widely used and reliable open font service. We're now taking a big step further by giving users the chance to select any font from the wide selection Google has to offer, directly from the Styling panel in the theme settings area.
After upgrading to Themify Framework 1.3.4, you'll be able to select Google Web Fonts for any typographic area in the theme, from the body text font, to headings, form elements, navigations and so on. As shown in the image, the web safe fonts are still available for you to choose.
Just remember that each Google Web Font you select adds a slight footprint to your site loading, so while you have the entire Google fonts repertory at your fingertips, you should wisely use only those that you really need to keep the good performance of your site.

Please be advised that all our themes have been updated to framework 1.3.3. We've rebuilt the framework's data structure for better performance. The major change is the theme option panel's config file. The theme-config.xml file has converted to theme-config.php. The theme-config.php file is now localized. This means you can translate the tab labels in Themify panel. The old theme-config.xml or custom-config.xml files will no longer be in use. If you currently have any custom-config.xml file, please re-create a custom-config.php based on theme-config.php.
To upgrade:
You should see the upgrade message on the Themify panel page. Click "Update now" to perform auto upgrade. Note: please ensure you upgrade entire theme, not just the framework.
After you upgraded the theme, it will prompt you to update the data. Click on the backup link to backup a copy of your current setting data. Then click "Update Now" button to update the data. All your existing settings data should be converted after the upgrade. If you encounter any issue, please post on our forum or contact us for support.

ShopDock, one of our popular e-commerce WordPress themes, is known for its great user experience when it comes to shopping carts: you can add and update your shopping cart with ShopDock without reloading the page.
If you haven't seen it before, check out our demo for ShopDock, where a dock at the bottom of the page appears once you have an item in the cart. Our designers and developers utilized CSS and JavaScript to make it possible, and the dock creates a much simpler user experience for shoppers as they can see items added to the cart instantly.
We are now proud to announce that all WooCommerce websites will be able to provide that functionality for their stores: the ShopDock Extension for WooCommerce is now available!
You can download the extension here, and take a look at the documentation here.

We are very proud to announce that we are releasing a very substantial update to the Themify framework, fixing many bugs, adding wanted features, and cleaning up our code to be in compliance with the WordPress standards. All Themify customers using our themes will be able to update to the newest framework, but please read the instructions below! Here are some of the highlights of updating to Themify Framework 1.2.2:
- Hooks - We are introducing hooks to our themes. Hooks help easily add content and functions without having to wrangle code and modify the templates. Check the documentation on how to use hooks.
- New Image Uploader - We have replaced our image uploader with the core WordPress media uploader. Now you don't have to worry about those pesky upload permission issues.
- Right-to-Left (RTL) Support - The Themify panel now fully supports Right-to-Left, or RTL, languages.
- Streamlined Code - We have updated the code for all of our themes, bringing them in line with the most up-to-date WordPress standards. We cleaned all of our templates by creating a new function that is more efficient and will be used, from now on, in all of our themes. All AJAX processes are now within the WordPress environment, making them much safer and standardized.
- Sidebar Changes - In order to make the sidebar name translatable, we added a sidebar ID name to all sidebar registration. Please read below before you upgrade.
To Upgrade
Usually when you upgrade Themify themes, it is a seamless and painless process. This time however, you will have to do a bit work (We promise that it's quick!) before upgrading the theme. Because the sidebar registration name has changed, you will need to backup the active widgets before upgrading the theme, otherwise the widget settings will be erased.
To upgrade the theme without losing the widget settings:
- Be sure you are using WordPress 3.4+. If not, please upgrade WordPress first.
- Go to Appearance > Widgets, drag all your active widgets to the Inactive Widgets panel
- After you backed up the widgets, go to Themify panel page and you should see the upgrade message box above the Themify panel. Then click 'Update now' to upgrade the theme. If you don't see the upgrade message, it means the version checker is cached. Just come back later to check the Themify panel again. Read auto upgrader for more details. If the auto upgrader doesn't work, you may upgrade the theme using a FTP software.
- Then go back to Appearance > Widgets, drag the widgets from the Inactive Widgets panel back to the sidebar panel(s)
- If you forgot this step, no big deal. Simply go to Appearance > Widgets and reset your widgets or find the widgets in the Inactive Sidebar panel. The theme won't break.
This is a one-time occurrence, and it will not be a continuing trend in Themify theme updates. We apologize for any inconvenience it might cause.

The number of sites sporting a Themify theme grown a lot during this year, and the immediate effect of that is that we're seeing more and more users in multiple languages now, from Spanish and Portuguese to Arabic and Chinese and many more. This is why we are very happy to announce that our WordPress themes are compatible with WPML, one of the leading multilingual plugins that helps you running a multilingual website with a single WordPress install. Themify has worked with the WPML team to verify that our themes are compatible with their plugin, from settings pages on the back end to the site's front end. You can learn more about WPML and Themify in WPML's press release.
