Leadtheme Version 1.1 for WordPress Released.

I don’t know why I never noticed it, but in previous versions of Leadtheme for WordPress, it was lacking the ability to have comments on pages. Now in Leadtheme version 1.1, the first new update to Leadtheme for WordPress, I have added the ability to have comments on pages. When you update your copy of Leadtheme for WordPress, and you don’t want comments on your existing pages, you must log into your WordPress admin and uncheck “allow comments” and “allow trackbacks” on the edit screen for each of your existing pages. This might be a bit f a hassle but it will be worth it in the future when you want a page that has comments. On the same note, when you add a new page, comments and pingbacks are allowed by default. If you don’t what them enabled, you must uncheck the check boxes on the page edit screen.

A few other minor changes in this release of Leadtheme for WordPress…

• Changed font size on the main navigation menu. I made it a little smaller so you have a little more space for your navigation links.
• Fixed drop down menu colors on Big Stripe skin. Now the colors on the drop down menus match the WordPress theme correctly when you use the Big Stripe skin for Leadtheme.
• Fixed text color for the footer disclaimer on Big Stripe skin. You can now read the disclaimer text easier when using the Big Stripe skin on Leadtheme for WordPress.
• Added style support for WP-Cycle slideshow plugin on homepage. You still have to manually add the PHP call in the theme files to pull in the slideshow, but now it will be positioned correctly on the page. I will be writing another article on how to use WP-Cycle with Leadtheme properly and how to edit the WordPress theme files to get it to work. Sign up for the Leadtheme Newsfeed to be notified when the article is posted about how to add WP-Cycle to your WordPress themes for free.
• Added links to helpful pages on the Leadtheme admin options page. Now you can easily get help and information about the Leadtheme options from within the theme’s admin page.
