Themify Designer Program

themify designer program

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.

Theme and Framework updates

bug

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.

Sneak Peek at Edmin

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.

Framework 1.0.3 Released!

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:

  • Have the ability to read / open remote files
  • Have the curl PHP Library Installed
  • Have the ZipArchive PHP Library installed

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!

Auto Upgrading: Coming Soon

In our first framework update we added support for image handling, fixed folder and file structures, and cleaned up some of our code. We did a silent update to the framework, 1.0.2, and we'd like to share what was added and what's coming up in the future.

1.0.2

We silently released an upgrade to the framework about a week ago that included some cool features:

  • Shortcodes

    We introduced WordPress shortcodes into our latest theme Bizco and wanted to include this functionality to all our themes by packing it into the core.

  • Open JS

    We had been minifying the frameworks core Javascript file for speed and to hide a bit of it's awesome functionality. We wanted to open this up to our users and now provide an "un-minified" version of this file.

  • New Helper Functions

    themify_get and themify_check are two new helper functions introduced in 1.0.2. Each has it's own purpose to help you get or check variables from either custom fields or the Themify frameworks stored settings.

1.0.3

The next version of the framework, 1.0.3, will include a few new features including a much needed "Auto Upgrade" function.

  • Auto Upgrading

    To make everyone's life easier, we're adding automatic theme and framework version checks that will prompt you to upgrade if you are running an older version of either. This will hopefully mitigate any future issues and help to keep everyone up-to-date with the latest and greatest.

If you'd like to be a beta tester for version 1.0.3 of the framework just post below and we'll get in contact with you.
