For the past couple of weeks we have been working on our older themes, as promised some time ago. We have started moving these older themes to our new WPZOOM Framework, and today we are glad to announce the first updates, with more to come in the nearest future.
First of all we decided to update some of our most popular themes, and these are:
CadabraPress 2.0
In this theme we’ve made many changes, and most of them will ease your experience with the theme. An important addition is Custom Post Types for the Video Slider. This means that you can have now separate video posts, avoiding post duplication on front page.
Video slider displays Custom Post Types
New Features
- Custom Post Types for Video Slider

- Twitter Widget

- Autoplay option for carousel
- Shortcodes
- Featured News section now can display only specific posts which you mark as featured
- Blog Template
Improvements:
- All widgets were updated
- Dropdown menu script was updated
- Numerous bug fixes
Magazinum 2.0
Besides Framework integration, we’ve also made numerous changes in the theme: most of them are code improvements, but there are also a few new features.
New Features

From the image above you can see that new version includes a new widgetized area on homepage, in which you can insert a special designed widget, so you can showcase posts from different categories.

onPlay 2.0
This theme was released not so long time ago as above mentioned themes, so it didn’t require too many changes to update it on WPZOOM Framework. But this didn’t stop us from adding a few new features in the new version.
Customization Options
As you can see from this image, now you can easily change different colors in your theme directly from Theme Options. Such a feature was also included in Magazinum and CadabraPress themes.

Four updates in one month? Is not much, was not exactly extensive updates. I requested a subscription and I thought there are at least a new theme each month? What you have not met this month have. When is the next theme?

Maybe updates doesn’t seem to be extensive, but there was actually a lot of work in adapting the new framework in these 4 themes. We also have several other themes ready to be updated to new versions with framework integration.
We will also release 2 themes in March.

I’m trying to update the WPZOOM Framework in my recently-purchased WPZOOM theme, from 1.2.4 to 1.2.5, but I receive the following error: “Failed: Filesystem preventing downloads. (ftpext)”
Can I configure WordPress, or my server, to allow the update? Or can I download the latest WPZOOM Framework and upload that somewhere on my server?
