General

Starting today we want to open a new Themify Designer Program that will allow designers to submit themes for us to develop. We want to provide an opportunity for someone who may not have the skills to develop their idea to have their design fully realized and offer a percent of the theme sales. More details about how to get involve below:

What this program offers:

• 20% of each theme sale from their design
• Featured bio, link, image and other pertinent information associated to the theme as it's designer
• We handle all the coding (HTML, CSS, JS, and PHP), marketing, sales, and support

What we need from you:

• A fully realized WordPress theme design template .PSD file (this includes a *home page, *single blog page with comments, *categories page, *search results page, *static page, *active / hover states of links and other functional elements and any other pages or assets necessary for your design be developed)
• The suggested name of the theme
• A description of who it's intended audience is and how you're meeting their needs with the themes design and/or intended functionality
• A short list of 2-3 unique functional points you'd like to see built into your design

Getting Started

Applications must be sent via email to [email protected] with the subject line "Application - Themify Designer Program". If your .PSD file is too large to be sent via email please provide a link where we can download it. Contact us if you have any questions.

*Designers are responsible to ensure all images, example content and likenesses are original works and not copyright bound.
*Designers must comply and understand that once a theme goes into production Themify will have full control and ownership of the final product.

Since our last major framework upgrade, 1.0.3, we've been working on cleaning up a few things with our code. We heard there were issues with a few specific plugins, that have been lingering since we launched, and we've made sure to correct those issues in a theme wide update. This update is, primarily, all about squishing bugs.

All themes have gotten a version update today along with our framework. To clarify, for some that may be confused, our themes and our framework/platform have two different version numbers. You could, for example, be running version 1.1.7 of the Blogfolio theme but you may be running version 1.0.2 of the themify framework.

We hope that everyone will stay up-to-date with us now that we can push updates much easier with the auto-upgrader (built-in since framework version 1.0.3). If you want to learn more about what we've changed specifically you can read more in the change logs here: https://themify.me/logs.

Since launched in August, we've been collecting a lot of feedbacks, suggests, and bug reports. Over the last two weeks, we've focused on making our themes better. Today we are happy to announce that Themify has its first official framework update and all themes have rolled to version 1.1. We've made a lot changes and fixed a handful of bugs in both our themes and the core framework. This post will give you a little more insight about what's new or different from the last version.

Cleanup

We've gotten rid of a lot of redundent code and re-arranged a few files and folders in order to keep things organized.

• Removed all Framework specific functions from custom_functions.php and moved to a new file custom_modules.php.
• Moved the image cache folder outside of the themify folder into the theme root folder
• Replaced all image references in the template files with the new themify_image() function (read more about the themify_image function)
