Today we're giving everyone a sneak peak at our next theme "Photobox". The theme's name is pretty self-explanatory. We want to give photographers an elegant theme to showcase their work. Keeping an attention to detail and focusing on photos. A few features are it's slideshow with Lightbox integration and native WordPress gallery support (no need for plugins to generate the gallery). We can't wait to get it out!
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:
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.
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.

ThemeMin is one of our popular themes out right now. With that in mind, we've decided to release another minimal theme called Edmin that targets at the editorial and magazine sites. The theme will come with a configurable feature slider. It has multiple layout options such as list view and various grid views. Below is the design mockup of Edmin.
We've officially launched version 1.0.3 of the Themify framework today. With this version we hope to eliminate manual updates for our users. Not only was it tiring for us to iterate and reiterate when a new version, of either a theme or the framework, came out but we knew it wasn't fun for our users to have to manually download a file and then upload it to their site each time.
To be able to use the auto upgrading feature your server will need the following requirements:
By default, the framework will detect if your server has the proper PHP libraries and will provide a link to a .zipped version of the file for manual download and installation use.
We keep an active change log of all themes and the framework versions and updates here: https://themify.me/logs
Hope you guys enjoy!
