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.

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.

Version 1.32 contained a bug that improperly formatted your footer stats code. Thanks to Andy for catching this and pointing it out. We are pushing out version 1.33 quickly to resolve this issue. If you haven’t downloaded 1.32 you should simply skip to 1.33. If you have downloaded and installed 1.32 the only changed file in 1.33 is /vigilance/footer.php.

Sorry for the inconvenience this might have caused anyone!

We just pushed out Titan 1.11 with some new features, bug fixes, and modifications. Here is the laundry list of changes:

• Feature: You can now disable Flickr from the theme options menu and use a footer widget instead
• Feature: Added a style for <h2> tags in the top notice
• Feature: The image .border class now actually puts a nice border around an entry image
• Bug Fix: Sidebar photo was too wide by a couple pixels
• Bug Fix: Hide categories from navigation menu did not work
• Bug Fix: Incorrectly closed list
• Titan now registers a sidebar by default
• The notice is no longer enabled by default
• Cleaned up and streamlined the notice theme options

Download Version 1.11 Now!

Note: A new version of the PRO child theme has also been released. Only 1 line has changed; line 76 in the header.php file. I encourage existing PRO members to just replace this line to avoid overwriting any existing customizations. Download version 1.21 of the PRO Child Theme.

Version 1.31 contains one important bug fix for some Vigilance users and a minor enhancement:

• Bug Fix: Vigilance 1.30 implemented default “thin” sidebars along with a default “wide” sidebar. This created a problem because some users don’t actually use the “thin” sidebars. In version 1.30 the default “thin” sidebars no longer disappeared when left empty. This is corrected in 1.31.
• Enhancement: Replaced an instance of is_home with is_front_page in the header. This is beneficial to users who do not use a “blog page” as their default home page.

Download Version 1.31 Now!

Vigilance 1.30 has been released, go ahead and download it now. Changes are listed below.

• New Feature: Twitter in your updates box! (easily enabled from the theme options menu)
• Bug Fix: Link color not showing in the highlight box
• Bug Fix: Next pages link on index pages for paginated posts
• Improved home page recognition by using is_front_page instead of is_home
• Slightly increased font size in the updates box
• Enabled sidebars by default on new installations
• Increased space between the content and sidebar by 10px to improve readability and aesthetic
• Improved sidebar list item spacing and alignment

Be sure to let us know if you find any bugs in the release.

After looking at the theme for a couple days there were a few design annoyances we wanted to clean up and a few features we wanted to add. We ended up changing the look slightly hence the version bump. Here is the run-down on version 1.1:

• Changed the look of the top notice to improve visibility and cleanliness.
• Tweaked dimensions and added more width to the content. It felt cramped.
• Fixed the Flickr link issue and provided clear instructions in the options menu.
• Added a toggle on/off option for the Twitter & Email links.
