With the coming of WordPress 4.1, which makes some significant changes to the title tag on your WordPress website, we felt it was necessary to update our free and pro themes early.
Find out what changes our most recent theme updates provide!
Title Tags in WordPress 4.1
Developer Notes:WordPress 4.1 title-tag support added and moved all meta tags from <head> element to ‘wp_head’
In layman’s terms: We are committed to staying ahead of the curve with our themes.
WordPress 4.1 will release in a couple of weeks, but our themes have already been updated to address the good changes being made to the Title Tag of the website.
In the past, it was unclear whether a theme or the actual WordPress site title were generating the proper title to the site. For technical SEO purposes, this unifies the title-tag so that the WordPress “Site Title” is the definitive title of the website and there is no confusion within the website and subsequently on search engines like Google.
If you are a developer, you can finds more technical information about the new title tag policies here.
WordPress editor mimics front end
Developer notes: Updated or added editor styles to post editor to match front-end display (across all themes, better look and feel when creating your content)
In layman’s terms: Want to know what your content is going to look like before you hit “Preview”? We make it easier.
It can be frustrating to have to constantly switch back and forth from the visual WordPress editor and the preview tab to find out what your text looks like. With our most recent visual update, you are given the ability to see what your text will look like while editing the content in the editor. Images will also display in their native size, so you can see what the images look like as well.
Added Note plugin
We have also recently released a FREE plugin called Note, which provides you with an easy widget area to visually place text in your sidebar. This is a piece of the Conductor plugin, but is being offered for free on the WordPress.org repository for the moment.
With the update to our theme, you are offered the free note plugin to enhance your site creation experience.
