We are very excited to announce Themify Icons: a complete set of icons, for use in web design and apps, consisting of 320+ pixel-perfect, hand-crafted icons — available to the public absolutely, 100% FREE! While the icons were inspired by Apple iOS 7, we are constantly inspired and driven by web design and development community, so we wanted to give back by offering this fantastic set of icons for free, with the ability to use and distribute it for any purpose, whether personal, commercial, or anything in between.
Development
New Single-Click Demo Import Tool
We are happy to announce that all Themify themes are compatible with the latest WordPress 3.9. Along with the last update, we've built a very nice time saver feature for new Themify users. Setting up the theme has always been time consuming, and a bit of a challenge for new WordPress users. We've heard your feedback, and we've built the new demo import tool just for you!
Now you can easily import and erase demo content with a single click. All this can be done from directly within the Themify panel, so there's no file uploads or downloads necessary. It will add all the content needed to make your site look like our demo, including the Themify settings, widgets, front page setting, social links, custom menus, and posts/pages we use. You can then erase the demo content later which will remove the imported content and menus entirely, without deleting your existing posts or modified imported posts in case you want to keep them. Simple and easy!

Adding Hooks Has Never Been So Easy
Hooks, which are technically called WordPress Action Hooks, allow users to insert their own custom executable code into WordPress. Hooks can be extremely powerful saving you time and money in development costs. To see examples of what Hooks can do, we have created a demo area to illustrate the power and convenience of Hook.
In the past, if a user wanted to add custom code via a Hook, they would have had to create a custom-functions.php file for their Themify theme. Not anymore!
Introducing Hook Content:
With release of Themify Framework 1.7.3, Themify has given users the power to add their custom code via Hook Content without the need of creating a custom-functions.php file saving you time. Using the Themify Framework Panel interface, you can now easily create Hooks in a matter of a few clicks. You can use Themify’s Shortcodes to use Themify pre-existing functions such as Slider, Twitter, Map and much more! Also, it will save you hours of time with debugging code as you won’t need to sift through lines and lines of code.
To learn more about Themify’s new amazing feature, read our Hook Content documentation.
Themify Framework 1.6.8 Update
Here at Themify, we are proud to announce that we have added some cool new and enhanced features to our existing Framework.
360+ Social & Web Icons
Our first new feature is the addition of Icon Fonts to our Social Links widget. We have added:
- 360+ FontAwesome icons
- the ability to custom color each individual icon and their background
- icons can appear in three sizes: small, medium or large
Menu Icons
For our second new feature, we have also added Icon Fonts to WordPress Menus. So, if you always wanted to add a little house icon next to Home on your menu bar, now you can! To access this new feature, go into your WordPress Admin > Appearance > Menus and in each menu panel you should see a Icon field.
Builder Custom Styling
For our Builder lovers, we have a new feature for you too! You can now custom style the row and module individually (font, padding, margin, background, and border), giving more control over the structural design of your webpage.
Responsive Lightbox
And finally, we have replaced the old lightbox with a new one that not only is fully responsive but also offers better performance on desktops, tablets and mobiles than the previous version.
We hope your enjoy the new features!
Updated Themify Framework to fix the vulnerability
In an effort to resolve the vulnerability issue found in the older versions of Themify framework before 1.2.2, we've released a new update which will delete the legacy file 'themify-ajax.php' and any unknown files in the theme 'uploads' folder. This update (framework 1.6.3) is intended to save your time from removing the legacy file manually as posted here. Themify users are recommended to upgrade to this version. To upgrade your theme/framework, go to the Themify option panel page and you should see the upgrade notice. After the update, please verify if the file 'themify-ajax.php' still exists by checking the file list in WP Admin > Appearance > Editor. You may also use a FTP software to check the file in 'wp-content > themes > [themify_folder] > themify' folder.
NOTE: this vulnerability issue only affects the themes installed with Themify framework version before 1.2.2, released on November 9, 2012. Even if your theme is not affected, it's recommended that you update to this new version.
REMEMBER: if you have any inactive/old Themify theme sitting on the server, download the theme(s) to your computer for backup and delete it on your server. This fix will only apply to the active Themify theme.
