WordPress Website Theme Update – SmallBiz v1.4

We just completed a few changes to the Expand2Web SmallBiz WordPress Theme that I think you will really like.

First, I thought it would be cool to be able to preview new header graphics that you upload in the SmallBiz Options panel.

Visual Header Image Chooser

So we added a preview feature where you can see a preview of all the headers you’ve uploaded and choose the one you want. I’ve also included a few new header images that you can use if you would like.

Rich Text Editing on Home Page

Second, we’ve added a rich text editor for the home page. Previously, you could edit the content on the default home page in the SmallBiz Options panel, but you had to do a little basic HTML formatting. Now you can just edit it like you were using Microsoft Word. You can still edit it in HTML if you want, of course.

Feature Box Toggle

Third, a lot of SmallBiz customers wanted control over the “Feature Box” at the bottom of the page. Now you can turn it on or off simply by checking a box in the SmallBiz Options panel.

Upgrading from previous versions

If you already have a version of the Expand2Web SmallBiz Theme installed, you can update to the new version by copying the theme files into your wp-content/themes/smallbiz/ directory over top of the existing files using your FTP program.

I hope you like these new features – we had fun making them!

Bruce, we created an extensive “Header Graphic” tutorial in our User Guide. It also lists free online tools to create graphics. http://userguide.expand2web.com/how-to-guide/the-smallbiz-options-panel/header-graphics-creating-adding-and-removing/
