StudioPress is happy to announce the release of the News 1.0 child theme. This WordPress theme works on the Genesis Theme Framework and can be downloaded by Pro Plus members in the support forum. All others can purchase the package here.

If you have already purchased the Genesis Theme Framework and any other child theme previously, you can simply purchase the child package by itself, otherwise you need the News + Genesis Theme package.

Take it for a test drive…

Here’s a screenshot of the News Child Theme:

We are very happy to announce that the News 1.0 theme is now available. This theme has been professionally optimized by Joost de Valk, who is on our development team. Below you can see how the News theme looks.

Theme Options
We are also very happy to announce that an enhanced theme options page has been built for the Magazine theme. Here are some other great features:

Tabber Section
It’s been a while since we have developed any themes that included this function – after many themes were released with the Featured Content Gallery plugin, I felt it was necessary to go back and use the tabber section, something I think works exceptionally well for a magazine theme.

Auto-Sized Thumbnails
Another awesome feature with the Magazine theme is the ability to now display automatically generated thumbnails on the homepage. You can see that the sizes of your thumbnails can be configured on the options page.

Support For Localization
Another awesome feature that is included with the Magazine theme is support for localization. We have been asked numerous times if our themes can be localized, and we are going to make sure that all of them can be internationalized into different languages.

Sidebar eNews & Updates
The Google/Feedburner eNews & Updates can easily be turned on/off via the theme options section.
