The wraps are off v1.7 as the final beta has been released. We can’t keep the features a secret too much longer so here we go… some of the new features in Shifter Version 1.7 include:
- Choose to show second sidebar on a page type basis.
- Choose between three types of “Shifter Plates”. “Shifter Plates” are styles for your home page that are different than the rest of your blog layout. The three home page styles or “Plates” are “Blog”, “Blog-Portal” and “Portal”.
- Custom Shifter Featured Tab Block - a featured tab block can be displayed that will pull featured posts from selected categories and display out of your normal blog sequence above your main post content. A widgetized version of the tab block can be dropped into any of Shifter’ 13 module positions.
- Choose to show excerpts or full posts on category pages from the Shifter Settings page.
- Choose between three border shapes for your main content column and comment sections. Rounding corners has never been easier than flipping a switch.
- Choose from 9 module shapes that can be applied to individual module locations. Round corners, round bottoms, square tops with backgrounds… the list goes on. All styling is done with the flip of a switch from the Shifter Settings page.
- Choose to show module positions on a page type basis. Don’t want to show the User 1 module on the home page but instead would like to appear on single post pages? No problem, flip the switch and your done.
- New skins
- Integrated, extensive, graphical, onboard help files accessible from your Wordpress admin panel unlock the full potential of the most advanced Wordpress Theme System on the planet.
The personal license for Shifter will be priced at $79.95. A support package version will be available for $99.95.
Those upgrading from Shifter v1.6 will receive a free upgrade if v1.6 is purchased before v1.7 is release which is anticipated to be in the next day or so. (hint… save $20.00 by purchasing 1.6 now and getting the free upgrade).
And lastly, by popular demand, the Shifter Theme System Forums are now open. Please check out what has been going on with some of our beta testing and post your sites in the Showcase.
