The awesome Themify Framework!

Showing some of the options that I find most valuable in the Themify Framework options.
(Themify has released a new version of their framework that looks totally different then what is seen below.)

 

I have been using a greatly modified child theme of the Basic theme for a long time. A few reasons is that Themify has built a very nice Framework to go along with their themes.

The Themify Framework has its own sidebar item containing Settings, Documentation and Rebuild Thumbnails.
The first section I usually go to is

Themify Settings -> Default Layouts.

The section is split into three parts.
Archive – posts – pages.

 

Themify Settings -> Theme Settings

Here one can easily add Footer text and turn off the RSS and Search buttons.

 

 

Themify Settings -> Social Links

Add or remove social links.

 

 

Themify Settings -> Builder

Turn on or off Themify Page Builder modules.
For a different way of creating your pages/posts try the Page Builder.
It works on the back and frontend.

Settings -> Styling -> Background

Style various areas of the background here or in your stylesheet.
As you can see from the left menu there are also many other areas to check out as well.
I personally do not use much of the options in the Styling section as I prefer to add CSS directly
to the stylesheet that I use.

 

 

Settings -> Skins

Here you can choose from various colors or layouts for your theme. I would have liked more options here.
For instance to add my own skins/styles to this section. It is possible but only in a parent theme not inside a child theme.
Which means it will likely be overwritten when updating the parent theme.

Page Options

Themify also has a Custom Panel one can find below the page content in the page screen.

Themify Custom Panel Page Options

Here you can adjust the sidebar layout and if needed also hide the page title (hiding page titles can also be done inside the Settings -> Default framework section.)

 

What is nice with selecting a sidebar layout in a custom panel like this is that the Page Templates are not used. Which means I can add my own custom page templates to any page. For instance unique home page templates, a landing page template etc.

Themify does not include any unique page templates and is something you need to create yourself. I will add another post on creating Page Templates….

 

Themify Query Posts

I took a screenshot from the backend home page. It uses the WordPress plugins category ID 7 to show at the top of the home page Descending order, by date, the layout contains three icons beside each other. Check further below to see what it looks like.

 

 

 

The home page from the frontend.

 

 

I could go into Themify Framework Settings -> Styling -> Headings
and change the font. But I have not done so yet. As there are a lot nicer fonts to use
then the one I am using. The rest of the home page shows various posts to give information
to the visitor on what I am writing about.

 

 

Themify Custom Panel Post Options.

There is also a Themify Custom Panel Post Options.
With a lot of good options to use with your posts.

 

There are a LOT of good options to help you in your WordPress site creation!
I have been using my own customized child theme of the free theme Basic for quite a while now and will likely continue to do so as well. That is until I find something that I like even better. Even after two years I have still not found something I want to switch it out with.

Check out the Themify.me free themes to get a hands-on feel to how they work.
