Posted by Bryan on January 23, 2010 under News & Updates | 2 Comments to Read

Ministry Theme Update

The Ministry Theme has been an extremely popular premium Wordpress theme.  After making the theme compatible with Wordpress 2.7, I started making changes to support a new level of service and support based on feedback offered by our loyal users.  These changes are bringing a new era of features to Ministries!

These updates are in progress and we want to release it once we have gotten it right. In preparation for release, we would like to select a few users to test out the improvements and offer their opinion about improvements to the improvements. Contact me, f you would like to test the cutting edge version before it is released. (This only available to people who currently own the Ministry Theme.)

Furthermore, every time we get close to releasing the theme, we get an idea for a new customization to do.  We realize everyone wants to get the new theme in their hands but, we want to minimize the amount of updates needed as we introduce new customizations across the theme.   We got so excited about the project we prematurely released a statement, we’ll keep you up-to-date.

A New Version

With the intense popularity of the Ministry Theme, we have decided to release another version.  We are considering several different variations for a new version.  We want this version to go a total different direction then the current theme and we need your help, for input and thoughts.  What color scheme should it have? What types of things would like to see?  Do you need space for youtube, pictures, etc? Or is the current theme enough?

Let us know what you think!

Ministry Theme Admin Features

Posted by Bryan on January 4, 2010 under News & Updates | 9 Comments to Read

We are excited to announce the introduction of administrative features for the Ministry Themes.  We have received several requests to introduce this functionality.  The new features will make setting up the theme, easier and more intuitive.

Currently the focus is on improving administration of the front page.  Currently updates to those pages, require a manual alteration to the site’s code.  With the introduction of these exciting features anyone who can use a computer can update, and alter the website.  We have also included a few other important fixes, which will make the latest version of the Ministry Theme, the biggest update ever!

Currently we are still getting all the nasty bugs or other errors and will release this update shortly.  Ministries currently using the theme are eligible for FREE updates!  Simply post a comment here or on the support forum, and I will send you the update once we make sure everything is performing at its best!!  Additionally, we will be contacting everyone who purchased a Ministry Theme, to see if you want the update.

Do you have any ideas for future developments? We would love to hear your thoughts!  Comment below.
