The Privateer v1.0, a new WordPress Theme from PWS.

Finally, after a good month and a half of solid coding, I feel that The Privateer Theme is ready for the public.

Feel free to grab a copy of The Privateer Theme and check it out, or find out more about it at the Privateer Theme Page.

Note: 1.0 is outdated and has a few bugs within it, but is still available to any interested in using it. It also lacks the new features available in 1.2.

So what does The Privateer Bring to the table?

1. Complete separation of WordPress Post/Page objects and the WordPress HTML Templates
   • Each major template page ( single.php, page.php, home.php, etc. ) has its own optional kicker, title, byline, and content areas, which you can populate as you see fit.
   • Both major wordpress objects ( pages and posts ) can have their individual pieces turned on and/or off.
2. A robust admin panel
   • Setup and style the template page level items.
   • Setup search engine optimization for the template.
   • Setup and style post and page objects shown via the template.
   • Override the default display with drop in custom displays.
3. Site wide view blocking
   • Turn your site off at will, blocking potential visitors based upon their permissions and displaying a custom message or page to anyone without the necessary permissions.
   • Good for heavy maintenance or just running a private members only site.
4. Drop in Custom Displays
   • Custom displays are much like templates, but they are simple drop in codes that override the content section of a particular template type.
   • Each has its own built in admin menu and page/post custom displays can be chosen on a page by page or post by post basis…and have individual options available within the wordpress page/post editor.
   • Activate multiple custom displays on non page/post templates to have pages of particular types served via a randomly installed custom display or activate only one and have it used to show that template consistently.
5. Configurable navigation bars of various types
   • Multi page navigation bars ( numeric or text )
   • Next / Previous post navigation bars
   • Ancestor navigation bars
   • Child page navigation bars
