Update: Business WordPress Theme deNovo 0.9.1 available

The new version 0.9.1 of my business WordPress theme deNovo. Among other improvements I added WordPress 3.0 features like custom menus and and finally the new ThemeShift admin panel.

Custom Menus

You can now manage your deNovo menu by dragging and dropping your preferred menu items in the order you like with the new WordPress 3.0 custom menus feature.

Theme Options

I also reorganized the deNovo theme options page adding the new ThemeShift admin panel with custom logo uploader and much more.

Help Center

In the deNovo Help Center you will find useful information to get started with the theme. You will find several screencasts:

  • How to install deNovo?
  • How to add your custom logo to deNovo?
  • How to add a custom menu to deNovo?
  • How to add images in deNovo?
  • How to add a gallery in deNovo?

    hi Simon. your Vimeo videos for your How-tos don’t seem to be working. i was looking for the screencast about adding images in deNovo.

      Hey Kristy, thanks for reporting me this. Vimeo changed the embed code and that doesn’t work with my lightbox any more. Will have to change this. You can see all my screencasts on the Vimeo website. Sorry for the trouble!

      I just embedded the videos without the lightbox. Everything is back up now!

        Thanks! i’m also looking for some more documentation about featured images and the new gallery feature that isn’t in video format. i’ve watched the videos but do you also have instructions written somewhere? i find the custom fields hard to read in the video.

      • Simon [TS] - am August 19, 2010

        At the moment there is no written documentation more detailed than the readme. You can watch the video full screen and in HD. Anyway, to add the gallery upload attachment images and create a custom field called attachments with value 1. For a custom title you can create another field called gallery_title.

    Hi Simon,
    ha, custom menus, thank you.
    What exactly means “slider embed functions” in your Changelog for Version 0.9.1?

    • Simon [TS] - am August 30, 2010 Reply

      That means that you can embed videos for example. You create a custom field called slider_embed and enter the embed code of a video like so:

      <object width="490" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XjYEXgD36ao?fs=1&hl=de_DE"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XjYEXgD36ao?fs=1&hl=de_DE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="490" height="340"></embed></object>
