Vigilance 1.43 fixes some minor bugs and includes a couple style enhancements. Feel free to read through the changelog for details.

Testing some new styling, what do you think?

I am testing out new post title header styling here on the demo blog. I have removed the emphasis on the post titles giving them a softer look. I have also adjusted the comments font-family, changing it to the default Georgia, Times New Roman. I am thinking of including it in the next Vigilance release. Let me know what you think of the new styling in the comments.

Vigilance 1.41 Released

by Drew Strojny on September 29, 2009 in Release, Vigilance

Please Note! A major bug was found shortly after release of version 1.41 so I am pushing immediately to Version 1.42. All the download links in this post have been updated to Version 1.42. If you have already downloaded 1.41 please upgrade to 1.42. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Download Version 1.41 1.42: PRO Members head to the member download area. Free users grab your copy from the free download page.

Vigilance 1.40 was released into the wild a little over a week ago. Since then we have run into a few minor bugs and annoyances. All of these bugs were discovered by Vigilance users. Thanks for helping out everyone! This 1.41 release patches up those bugs and includes one new feature.

Internationalization Help

Now that Vigilance is officially localization ready we are going to need some translation help from our international users. The included vigilance.po and vigilance.mo files make it super easy to translate the theme with an application like poEdit. I have set up an official repository for translations that will be updated with new languages as I receive them. We already have a Turkish translation available thanks to one of our PRO Members!

If you need help with translating the theme be sure to read this excellent guide to translating WordPress themes. You can send all translation files to themes {at} jestro.com. Be sure to name the files appropriately according to your country code.

This is an exciting day for Vigilance! The release of version 1.40 comes a little over a year after the initial 1.0 release. Vigilance has come a long way since then and today it is taking a monumental step forward.

This is by far the biggest, boldest, and best update in Vigilance history. The list of features, enhancements, and bug fixes is enormous. The best part: no bloat. I was focused on keeping the code clean and lightweight. I was also determined to improve the aesthetics and usability of Vigilance with this release. Let’s take a look at what’s new.

Summer News

by Drew Strojny on July 1, 2009 in News, Vigilance

We hope all the Vigilance users out there are enjoying a great summer!

Vigilance 1.40

Vigilance has been stable and robust for some time now, running along like a well oiled machine. Believe it or not, we didn’t need to make any changes for WordPress 2.8. It just works. This is great, but it doesn’t mean we are going to sit around and stare at it how good it looks. Vigilance 1.40 is scheduled to drop this summer and it will without a doubt blow you away. In fact, we are jumping version numbers due to all the enhancements! Here is what you can expect:

Why an Affiliate Program?

Why are we launching an affiliate program? We have been toying with the idea for awhile now. PRO membership has been a huge success. We opened the doors 48 days ago and now have over 250 members and nearly 1,000 posts in the support forums. The forums are turning into a truly valuable resource. So many of our users and members are genuinely enthusiastic about the themes and support we are providing. The goal of the affiliate program is to reward users and members for sharing this enthusiasm with their friends, users, and community.
