Paper cuts aren’t always bad…

I’m sure that you’ll agree with our pretty bold statement in the title, when you see Papercut, which is the latest theme to be added to the WooThemes collection.

This grungy beauty was designed by one of our new best friends - Liam McKay (on whom we can’t lavish enough praise - whilst we obviously added our standard WooThemes & WordPress magic to the design.
Design

Paper CutWe think that the homepage design of Papercut is absolutely incredible (in a modest way okay - hehe) if you’re looking to add a whole bunch of content to it. The grid-based layout really allows all of the content to “feature” in their own right, whilst not over-complicating the design.

You will also note that the design features a whole bunch of minor details to increase the overall user experience. We’ve paid a lot of attention to the typography and content text styles (for both posts & comments) in our attempt to truly create something magnificent.
Functionality

As you will now come to expect from us, Papercut is built on the same kind of functionality and backend that is featured in all of our other themes. This time however, we’ve decided to add some new things, which we hope you will like…

One of the new features in Papercut (that is essentially on trial and will be added to other themes if this “experiment” proves successful) is that the whole sidebar is widgetized. We’ve even custom-developed some additional Papercut-specific widgets which you can add to the sidebar; and will fit seamlessly into Paper Cut’s overall styling.
Check it!

Anyway, we can either continue to use a bunch of descriptive adjectives in our round-up of the theme’s release, or you can check it out here and decide for yourself.

And BTW… Our club subscribers already got access to this new beauty a hour ago… So download away WooMembers!

Better WordPress Search

We just got an e-mail from Yoast, the WP plugin guru, about a few manual tweaks that could improve the default WordPress search considerably. Even though these aren’t as straightforward as would be ideal and considering that it relies on a few 3rd party plugins; I still like the idea behind this and can see how the integration of these tweaks could massively improve the search functionality on your WordPress site.

In fact, the only thing that is holding us back from implementing this into our themes (and have it work out of the box), is the fact that it relies on 3rd party plugins… We are currently trying to reduce the amount of plugins that we use in our theme, as we’d like to create a theme that works completely, out of the box and without too much setup and installation of third party plugins. And suffice to say… We’ve learned our lesson with buggy 3rd party plugins over which we have no control: It seems like a great idea at the time, but ultimately we’re just opening a can of worms for ourselves…

So after we’ve finished the development on the 2 new themes that will become available on WooThemes this month, we’ll aim to look at increased functionality like this. For now though, this kind of WordPress Search Functionality (codename: WPSF) is only on our development wishlist.

Liam and his crew over at Function have had a go at making some grunge styles for Fresh News. The result is stunning and we are releasing this add-on for all you previous owners of Fresh News. First of all go check out the five new grunge styles on our theme preview, by using the lovely style switcher at the top right of the page.

Fresh news is now version 1.2 with this latest update. If you have already purchased the theme and just want to add the new grunge styles, here is what you must do:

1. Log in to your WooThemes account and download the v1.2 from “My Theme Downlods”
2. Unpack the new version and upload functions.php, style/*.* and functions/*.* with your FTP client.

You must also add a new div to your header.php and footer.php files. If you haven’t made any modifications to these files from the original, you can just overwrite your current files. If you have made modifications to your files you must manually add one line to header.php after the body tag:

That’s about it. If you have any trouble updating please don’t post in the comments. Our forum staff is ready to help you out with those questions.
