Massive News has always been a crowd favorite for news, magazine or pretty much any other type of site. It truly is a perfect solution for any type of content, and it just got even better.
New Theme Features
Massive News has some amazing new features that take the theme to an entirely new level. Starting with new WordPress 3.0 functionality, Massive News 2.5 is now compatible with the new WP custom menus feature which allows you to take total control over your menus. Also, WordPress post thumbnails make it even easier to add, edit and manage thumbnails for posts and pages. Massive News is now entirely customizable via the new Press75.com “Simple Panel” options page. You can change your background image/colors, content colors, font and link colors and much more within seconds via the custom theme style options. You can also customize your theme layout (3 column, 2 column, fixed and fluid options), edit your logo and much more. Finally, the new featured content control panel now allows you to use specific posts, pages or even categories for featured content on the home page. Check out the new Massive News video tour below for a complete overview.
Guys, amazing work as always! Keep on cranking out AMAZING themes!!
Thanks… very happy to hear you like my work.
Great work. Can you send me the background video music via e-mail? Or can you send me the name of the song?
The background music is by Tycho… http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/tycho/id119111355
I am excited to upload version 2.5. Being a newbie I am not sure how to do this. Can you please help those of us that have not done this before? All I can tell is that I need to deactivate the older version (?) but I am really at a loss here. I really look forward to working in 2.5. Thank you. Melanie
Melanie… everything you need to upgrade to the latest version can be found in the support forums. Just carefully read through the new Setup and Usage instructions.
Jason, I have unzipped but I can not figure out how to deactivate the older verion. I cant find it in the appearance grouping. Also, the unzipped new version is warning me that there is no style sheet. Will I find the style sheet when I deactivate and then activate? lol…this learning curve is a wild ride.
I wont activate until I hear from you. Hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend.
thanks – M
Melanie… Please post any theme related questions you have in the support forums. Thanks.
I really love your theme but i have a few questions before i will buy this one.
Is there an option to justify the text? i prefer it that way.
Is there a way to deactive the pictures above the content? I dont need those spotlight articles above.
thanks in advance for your help. Keep up the good work.
Sure… you can justify text within the WordPress editor, and you can deactivate the featured content within the theme options page. Please watch the video tour for a detailed overview of all Massive News features.
Thank God for the support forums or I’d be lost every day!
The forums are a valuable asset for sure…
