New Builder Feature – Row Overlay
Ensuring that your content doesn't get drowned by background images, sliders, or videos is crucial when designing your site. Undertanding the importance of this, we added the Row Overlay feature on the Builder styling section. This feature allows you to create a color overlay on top of your background image/slider/video, making sure that the content on your row stands out. An additional feature we've added with this is the Overlay Hover Color option. This gives you the ability to highlight the content on your row when users cursor hovers on top of the row. Check out the demo below and see it in action.
Top 10 Themify Features of 2014
We made this list to highlight some of Themify's features that we've seen various users use to help them design their sites. And as we welcome the New Year, we've got plenty of new features lined up for you. But before we start rolling out these new features. We want to make sure that no one missed out on all the other successful features. So we decided to create a top 10 list of Themify features of 2014 that you need to know going into 2015.
Builder Update: Custom Post Type Removal
In an effort to make the Themify Builder simpler to use, we've decided to deprecate the following custom post types that originally registered with the Builder: Slide, Highlight, Portfolio, and Testimonial. Our finding shows that those custom post types have been causing a lot of confusion for new users, as they don't know how to add posts for those post types. Some users also complained that those custom post types add unnecessary menus on their WordPress Dashboard. Thus we've deprecated them in Themify framework 2.1.2 the Builder Plugin 1.3.1.
Fullpane Section Scrolling Made Easier
We've updated Fullpane theme to make full section scrolling pages easier using the Builder. Previously it required you to construct the sections using the Section post type and then query the Sections in the page. This process was confusing and time consuming. Now we've made it easier through the Builder, allowing you to create unlimited section scrolling pages and more frontend page editing.
To create full section scrolling pages:
- Add a new Page and enable the Full Section Scrolling in the Themify Custom Panel
- With Full Section Scrolling enabled, each Builder row represents a section
- Then use the Builder to construct each row (section) as you like
Read this tutorial or watch the video tutorial for more details.
Backward Compatibility
If you already have a Fullpane site with existing Sections, not to worry the Section post type will remain functional. The Section post type will be hidden if there is no Section posts.
