v.1.2.2
  • Captcha display issues;
  • Category sorting issues in portfolio & blog;
  • Category filtering for “Small photos” widget & shortcode.
  • High Slide navigation arrows for “Small photos” widget & shortcode;
  • Some qTranslate issues;
  • Better IE 10 compatibility
  • modernizr.js update
v.1.2.1. Added support for WooCommerce 2
v.1.2. This is major update. We’d like to highlight some of its features:
  • Theme is SEO-ready: its code is optimized for search engines; full supports for most popular SEO-plugins; etc.
  • We’ve added some styling for WooCommerce so it will look nice “out of the box”.
  • Improved compatibility with WPML and qTranslate (in fact all known, even smallest, issues were fixed).
  • New page templates: Testimonials and Team.
  • Significantly improved performance and compatibility for mobile devices.
  • Javascript and CSS is cleaned; many files merged. This will improve compatibility with “code minimization” feature of caching plugins.
  • Some bugfixes and improvements…
v.1.1.2 and v.1.1.3. Fixed some minor issues with WP v.3.5
v.1.1 and v.1.1.1. This is major update. We’d like to highlight some of its features:
  • WordPress 3.5 ready
  • Extended support for most popular plugins like WooCommerce, JetPack, WPML, SEO by Yoast and others.
  • Support for Multisite and Child Themes (dummy for child theme is already included into theme package).
  • Option to disable responsiveness.
  • Retina-images out of the box (no need to install any plugins)!
  • Custom height for thumbnails in Galleries and Portfolio.
  • Deep inner optimization. Now caching plugins will make Nimble work even faster – with jet speed!
  • Various bugfixes and improvements…
v.1.0.5. Fixed issue with auto-slide in OBO slider (which we broke in v.1.0.3.)
v.1.0.4. Fixed issue with twitter widget not working after Twitter API change.
v.1.0.3. It’s all about optimization:
  • Huge CSS block within the header section that is responsible for design customization was moved to separate file. Since this file is being created using WP native APIs, saving theme options can be annoying on hostings with maniacal attention to security :) If that’s you case, we suggest you to turn off this file for period when you are working on theme customization. It can be done via “WP-admin > Theme Options > Misc”. Uncheck the “Create static css” and save options.
  • Improved compatibility with plugins like WooCommerce, JetPack, Contact Form 7 etc. Now there’s no need to apply any compatibility patches.
  • Reduced influence of freezing animation while scrolling the page on iOS 6. JavaScript rendering in iOS 6 (and in Mountain Lion) is super fast… but, boy, it’s buggy! We really hope this bug will be fixed in newer OS versions…
  • Some internal optimization.
Do you need to upgrade? If all works fine in your current version of theme – NO. All improvements in v.1.0.3. are important, but not crucial.
v.1.0.2. This update addresses following issues:
  • copyright, favico and couple of other theme options was not saving properly;
  • small sliders with portfolio projects and catalog items were scrolling 2 items (instead of one) at a time;
  • archives for custom post types were not displaying;
  • pixel mask (and correspondent option) was added to fullscreen slider.

Need more details? The Acumen Tour has you covered. Explore every aspect of Acumen’s development and see why it’s perfect.

#1. Quality Over Quantity

We focused on what matters: primary navigation, deep linking home page, manageable featured products, and seamless interaction. Still looking for color variations? Acumen supports over 65,000 via CSS. Acumen’s intelligent features are so natural, you’ll have to pay attention to notice them.

#2. Better Design

Acumen was made for clarity and organization. We shook up the visual hierarchy to highlight the most important information and removed the clutter. The result was beautiful catalog and product pages with prominent photography. Both checkout modes were streamlined for simplicity. View Acumen’s clean layouts.

#3. True Grid System

While other themes claim to implement grids like 960.gs, they don’t. Look at the markup for proof. Every template in Acumen was stripped of Magento’s structural markup and replaced with our flexible grid. SeeAcumen’s grid framework.

#4. Better Code

We followed Magento and Zend best practices when writing Acumen from theme fallback hierarchy to fully supporting multi-language translation. Every modification is annotated with comments, and the every frontend template’s markup was scrubbed for improved semantics and accessibility. That’s SEO gold. View our code practices.

#5. Better Performance

Acumen was built for speed. Our best ideas are implemented for reducing HTTP requests, applying cached JavaScript libraries, minimizing repeat data downloads, and loading resources modularly. It’s a little technical, but see how Acumen is optimized.

#6. Rigorous Updates

Acumen was a launch theme for the Magento category, and it has the most active development history. We’ve supported every stable Magento version with a full compatibility release (usually in ~1 week). Other themes are still multiple Magento versions behind. We’re streets ahead, view the changelog.

#7. Amazing Support

Read through the comments. We answer every question and problem within 24 hours, often much faster than that. We don’t ignore customers or bugs, and include a comprehensive Magento/Acumen installation guide with suggestions for server selection and store configuration settings to help you go live.
