Options WordPress theme documentation

The Options WordPress Theme has quite a few features and functions. I’ll try my best to provide full documentation of how to use the theme in these pages.

Note: I’m currently in the process of updating the documentation for version 1.1+ of the theme, so check back for updates.

The theme was made with the idea of ongoing updates to the code. Essentially, I was tired of just making a new theme using the same old code but with a few adjustments. I’d like to continue building upon the functionality while still offering new designs for the theme.

Refer all your support questions to the Options theme forum for questions that aren’t answered here! I don’t answer theme-support questions by email because I don’t have the time to answer everyone individually. I simply delete those emails without a second thought.

I would’ve never gotten this far if it wasn’t for everyone that is continually working on the WordPress Codex. The documentation is great over there.

Basis for the Dark stylesheet’s color-scheme came from the Revolution theme.

Users of the Structure theme have really pushed me to my limits with support questions and customization options. This theme was really sparked by the 10,000+ downloads to this point.

Thanks to the jQuery community for making so many things so easy because I don’t know a lick of Javascript but can use this great little library of code.

Thanks to Jonathan Schemoul for his wonderful Smooth Gallery and the community surrounding that project.

Ronald Huereca done a wonderful job explaining WordPress localization. I hope this helps this project get into the WordPress theme files of many people of all languages from around the globe.

Thanks to the WordPress community in general. You’re the reason I continue to do this type of work for free.
