Hueman v3.0.10

The version 3.0+ of the Hueman theme is now live on WordPress.org.

This updated version is compliant with the latest WordPress theme repository requirements, in particular the fact that all theme options must now be set from the WordPress customizer.

Moving the options to the customizer has been a challenging development experience, especially for the dynamic settings like sidebars and social settings. I hope it will result in a user friendly interface, in line with the initial creator and designer ( @AlxMedia ) philosophy!

Why jumping to version 3.0.+ ?

Because since now there were actually 2 versions of the Hueman available.

The WordPress.org one, sometimes named "lite" v1.5+
The Github one, sometimes named "full" v2+
To start from a new basis, I decided to jump to v3+.

What are the main changes on the new version 3.0 ?

Most of the development workload has been done on 2 groups of settings :

  • the social links
  • the sidebars

Those options enable users to dynamically create new options. The social links should not be impacted by the upgrade, however, it might be a little more complex for the sidebars, depending on how users implemented their sidebars previously. The majority of the users should not see any differences on their website when upgrading.

For the rest of the options, they've simply been adapted for the WP customizer and should not present any specific problems.

How can I recover the previous features of the Github "full" version of the Hueman theme ?

The Hueman Addons plugin is ready and available on Github on this page. It replaces the former "full" version of the Hueman theme previously available on Github (release 2.2.5).

The plugin will also be available on the plugin directory of WordPress.org as soon as it has been validated by the wp.org plugin review team.

The Hueman Addons plugin includes the following features :

  • Basic Shortcodes documented on the Github page.
  • Share bar including the Twitter username feature

Is there a specific documentation page with the new version ?

Yes, we have already published a "Getting Started" guide available here. More documentation pages are coming on specific topics.

Where can I report an issue related to the new version ?

Please report any issue you might have in the Hueman theme WordPress forum.

Which version of WordPress is supported by the Hueman theme ?

The new Hueman theme won't work properly with WP versions before 4.1. (released in December 2014). Because under the hood, the javascript code for the customizer manipulates section and panel instances which were not available before 4.1.
