NEW RELEASE Heatmap Theme v3.0

Heatmap Theme v3.0 now comes with lots of additional features which make it easier to create ‘niche site style blogs’ – so that means the ability to go ‘minimal’ with less distractions for visitors.

You can see the latest v3.0 update in action on  http://creativitypro.com – notice how some elements have been turned off to give a simpler cleaner look, with the sidebar switched from right to left.

Sidebar Switching

You can now switch the whole sidebar left or right for maximum heatmap experimentation. Pop your ads in the fabled top-left hot-zone with ease!

Hide the Page navigation and Categories navigation bars

You can now entirely switch off the Page Nav and Categories Nav bars!

Hide the RSS Icons and Links

Want your categories to go the full width of the cat nav bar? Then you can by switching off the RSS Icons and links.

New RSS Icons Widget

If you switch off the RSS Icons you can still have them in your sidebar using this new widget.

Hide the Search Box

You can eliminate the search box so your page nav can go to the full width of the theme. There is of course a Search widget should you still need that function to pop in your sidebar.

Hide Post Details

Going for a minimalist neat look? You can now turn off all the post details for every post on the home page, posts, pages, categories, search and archives.

Footer Bars

You can switch them off too!

Bugs and slight annoyances fixed

  • The theme now comes rounded corners for the default inbuilt classic graphite style – you could only get those in child themes previously.
  • I moved the search in the nav bar 1px downwards just to make it look a little better in Firefox.
  • I noticed that the post details box for each post was out by about 5px. I’ve fixed that up in the CSS.
  • The (EDIT) link for each post has now been moved out of the post details box and underneath the POST it relates to. This is of course required because you now have the option to switch off the post details and therefore would not be able to (EDIT) the post unless I changed this!
  • Removed the pesky NO CATEGORIES message on the cat bar when you have no categories in your blog – some people dont have any categories in their blogs – go figure!
  • Removed the pesky NO POSTS message when you have no posts in your blog – giving you the option to just have a site entirely made up of pages!
  • Fixed various low-importance minor typo issues.
