Solosteam – the Wordpress theme design company – has unveiled an updated version of its WP-Vybe theme, one of my favorite themes. I have had the WP-Vybe at BoomerCafe.com and DavidHenderson.com, among other blogs, for several years, and have recommended it highly to many people. It’s a Wordpress theme that always draws praise.
Solostream’s new WP-Vybe 2.0 is not a radical change in appearance from the previous version but smartly adds a whole list of features, making Vybe 2.0 one of the best, easy to customize themes for Wordpress.
- Restoration of original control panel feature controls (fonts, background colors, etc.)
- Revised color schemes built into the control panel
- Integration of the “Recently Popular” plugin to replace “Popularity Contest” (too many customers were having issues with this older plugin)
- Updated FeedBurner code to allow URI instead of ID
- Updated get_the_image code in features.php and post-thumb.php (from 1.1)
- Updated archives and search pages to show excerpts regardless of theme settings
- Updated “Older Comments” and “Newer Comments” boxes to only show up when needed
- Added “If you want a picture to show with your comment, go get a Gravatar.” to comments template
- Added option to turn auto-scroll on/off for Featured Articles
- Added option to hide author bio on single post page
- Added RSS icon/link back to comments template
- Plus a bunch of bug fixes to improve overall performance
In recently weeks, Solostream has introduced a flurry of new themes … too many at one time, in my opinion. Yet, all of the new themes are packed with appealing, unique, and easy to customize features. So, who can complain? Not me!
High on my list of favorites is WP-Vybe 2.0 and the magazine-type theme, WP-Clear. And, I highly recommend them.
