1. Offering a bundle package where the theme is sold at a reduced price and offer hosting of your website.  We also offer free support and possibly updates to your theme as needed.
2. Another idea was to offer the theme free or a reduced price and only charge for support.
3. Charge for the theme and future updates, unless there was a bug or WordPress changed functionality
4. Keep everything as is but bring more updates!

Do any of these changes interest you or are we missing the point?

• Is finding a web hosting a challenging process? Could you use a reliable place or suggestion of places?
• Would you like other choices for themes? If so, what color schemes, options would be you like?
• Guides on improving your site’s search ability or how to get the most of your site?

How can we help you get the most out of your presence or do you need help getting started?

• For starters, look at these customizations completed by John Rothra.

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.

Ministry Theme Support

1. WpList Cal
2. Limit Post

I wanted to take the time to highlight their purposes.

1. WpList Cal is helpful in highlighting your Ministries upcoming events. It allows people to input a list of upcoming events and as the events come and go, they will automatically created and removed from the homepage!
2. Limit Post, Limits the displayed text length on the index page entries and generates a link to a page to read the full content if its bigger than the selected maximum length.

For some reason, there have not been many issues with missing the second plugin. There are also powerful new additions in the “pipeline”.

The release brings compatablity with WordPress 2.8.

Future plans to incorporate new 2.8 functionality are in works.

• Edit the theme within the Admin
• Different themes to match your ministry’s personality

• The Ministry Theme download
• The Demo theme

We are also open to your recommendations and insight. Voice your opinion

We’re also considering changing the way that the theme is released to the public to enhance support and encourage more customization by users of the theme. We’ll keep you posted!
