4.0 Release in Development

Let’s get down to NEW Business,

Our former Marketing Mgr. Paul Simpson is no longer with the company R5 Ltd.. Paul chose to move on with personal pursuits of his own in niche marketing. We at Remix wish Paul well, he was an asset during his tenure with TEAM Remix.

Our programmer is hard at work on WPRemix 4.0. This new release will be fully compatible with WordPress 3.0. Please be patient while we put the finishing touches on the final release. Programming takes time and always lags WordPress for awhile, so check back for updates as to the availability of WPRemix 4.0.

Though WPRemix 3.0 is some what compatible with WordPress 3.0 it does not fully support all of the latest WP features. We do not recommend nor do we support an installation of WordPress 3.0 and WPRemix 3.0, be forewarned.

As a recap of what came before, the 3.0 update of WPRemix became much more stable than ever before.

Here is the short list of the fixes & additions that were made to WP Remix 3.0

- All known code errors fixed.
- The send to editor function fixed.
- The seo options that the previous management began installing have been fixed.
- The ability to add custom links in navigation bar from the theme options area has been added.
- The ability to disable sidebars on any of the page templates.

Other features currently in progress which didn’t quite make it into the 3.0 update, but will be released in 4.0, here is the short list:

- Enabling comments on pages
- Fully widgetizing the sidebars
- Ability to upload and change header images via the theme admin

Obviously all WordPress themes are an on-going work in progress, WPRemix 4.0 is no exception. You have our continued commitment that WPRemix is here to stay while maintaining it’s prominent status as a “Premium” theme.

Things will improve very soon more that most would expect given some of the growing pains we inherited from the previous theme owners. Look for a lot of improvement in the visual end of support, we are currently working on 250+ video tutorials.

These tutorials have been mentioned casually in the forum from time to time and many months have gone by without any actual roll-out of the videos. Please be a bit more patient for these tutorials to be created, you will not be disappointed.

Communication most importantly will be more frequent and less confusing. What does that mean exactly? It means that the inconsistencies of information on our website will be corrected as well as all grammar. An Affiliates Quarterly Newsletter is being created as well as  a separate Technical Bulletin newsletter for customers. These two newsletters alone will be a great enhancement and a proactive way of reaching out to all users of WPRemix.

Whether you are an Affiliate or Customer, please make sure that you “OPT-IN” when you see our newsletter in your email.

Sincerely,

Randy Brown
Product Mgr.

Mark,
A definite date has not been set for the release of Remix 4.0. Please understand, that programming as exacting as it can be is still a process that requires extensive testing to make sure it has been done correctly. We are working diligently to release 4.0 as soon as possible. We are all too aware that every day that goes by without 4.0, potential sales are lost to competitive themes. When the new release is ready there will be an announcement both here in the BLOG and by email newsletter. So make sure you are subscribed by RSS Feed to this Blog. As far as features for the new 4.0 release “No comment at this time”.

Michael,

Send a link to my email to me as I am now the one who gets all support@wpremix.com mail. The previous recipient was not always as responsive as maybe they could have been.

Hello,
I’m new in here but I think WP Remix is exactly what I need to work on my website.
But I wonder if I should wait for wpremix 4.0 or buy 3.0 at now.

I’m in a little hurry because I must put the website online in exactly 2 months.
If I buy the 3.0 now, will I manage to update into 4.0 for free or will I have to buy the 4.0 in addition ?

Thanks in advance.

I’m just building a website now and was curious whether 4.0 would merely be an easy free update?

Are the templates going to change any from 3.0-4.0? any new stuff? Wpremix has been the best theme I’ve ever used. Keep up the good work.

nikki_truax,

Free to some not to others. Here is our official policy regarding updates: http://forum.wpremix.com/index.php?topic=1811.0
Specifics as to time frame, and who qualifies will be announced later. Most policies provide for a FREE upgrade if you have
purchased within the last six months.

Marc,

You should be just fine for a FREE upgrade, 3.0 has been found to be compatible with 3.01 of WordPress, go for it!
The only new WordPress Feature not supported at this time is the new menu features.
