WordPress Theme: HTML5Press 1.3

0

HTML5Press 1.3 is available for download.

Version 1.3 includes lots of fixes and the addition of a theme options page. There’s two options currently. The first option enables or disables the “back to top” button. The second option allows you to set what size of image you want the featured post images to link to. Values you can select are Full, Large (default), Medium, and Thumbnail.

Please let me know if you have any other ideas for options you’d like to see. I’m open to pretty much any type of suggestion right now. I’m debating on adding a featured post slider, those seem to be pretty popular right now.

Some other changes include:

  1. No more wordpress version in footer
  2. jQuery is now actually being queued so the “back to top” button works (not sure how I forgot that)
  3. Removal of unnecessary code

You can download HTML5Press 1.3 here or you can grab a copy from Github.

Announcing HTML5Press

1

Back in October 2010, Jesper released version 1.2 of his HTML5 design.

I remember looking at it and thought it looked pretty nice. I downloaded it and it sat on my desktop for a long time.

There was a Blogger template based on his HTML5 design, but nothing for WordPress, so that’s where this theme comes in. HTML5Press is nothing more than Jesper’s HTML5 design with WordPress functionality added in.

I’ve got the theme setup on a test site, which you can find here. I took the liberty of fixing the CSS menus. In version 1.2 of Jesper’s work, there’s some issues with styling sub-menus. I doubt the average user would notice them, but I did, and they had to be fixed.

That’s really the only style related modification I made to Jesper’s HTML5 design.

Some WordPress features HTML5Press supports:

  • Featured Images for Posts
  • WordPress Navigation Menus
  • WordPress Widgets
  • Threaded Comments

HTML5Press is available under the GNU GPLV2 license. The code is hosted on Github. The official homepage for the theme is located right here on longren.org.

A download is not yet available but will be in the next few days. If you really want to, you can download from the HTML5Press Github repo, but it may not work as I’m making changes at a pretty quick pace. Your best bet is to hang off a day or two for an official release.

If you do decide to download an early copy from Github and notice issues, please use the issue tracker at Github to report problems. As usual, let me know if you have any comments, questions, or suggestions. You can comment on this post or you can comment on the HTML5Press page.
