Here is a screenshot of the new theme options page looks:
Many of you know that currently my homepages are setup by category calls, and the current structure means that to configure them, you need to go into the home.php files and change cat=1 to the category ID you want to display.
This poses two problems – it forces users who aren’t code-friendly to go into theme files, and that makes people nervous. It also means that people have to figure out what category IDs are, where they are located and how they can change the code by themselves. This is why I have updated these themes to accommodate that.
Using Widgets to Configure Previous Options
The other major change in the themes is that I widgetized them as much as possible. One question you might have after seeing the new theme options page, is “Where did all of the YouTube, AdSense, Feedburner, image ads, etc go?”
Well the bad news is that I have done away with configuring those things on the theme options page. The good news is that everything now will run using text widgets, as in my opinion, this gives users more flexibility in how they configure the theme.
As you can see from the screenshot provided, all areas that currently held a theme options page requirement can now be configured using widgets.
What is the bottom line?
Brian Gardner said" Well, I’ll admit that I am a compulsive refiner by nature – and that’s a good thing, because it makes me continually work on (and make better) the themes that I develop. It’s my intent to make them as user-friendly as possible, so that both WordPress newbies as well as developers can use them."
