Theme and Framework updates
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.
Edmin Theme Release
We're proud to announce Edmin as our eighth official theme release. Edmin was built to have an elegant, out of the box, design with a strong core layout structure. This theme includes a number of different layout options which help you customize this theme to your needs. With features like our home page slider, page and post custom fields, and our standard Themify Framework built-in for maximum customization and creation this theme is definitely one to pick up.
