Grab Theme Updates On The Fly

Updating your WordPress theme can be a huge pain. You have to track down the latest files, download them, back up your current install (if you’re smart), upload the new theme files and hope that nothing broke in the process. Good luck, buddy.

As theme users ourselves, we know this can really turn users off to a theme and potentially it’s provider. Theme updates should be seamless and cause no friction to your workflow. And now it is with Okay Themes.

Easier Freebie Downloads

Last week we announced that we were retiring several themes and that they would be free for users to download. As you can imagine, this went over well with the freebie junkies! Everyone loves a good old fashioned freebie, let alone a full theme.

Because of the success of the freebies, we had to rework the download process. Initially, users were running through the shopping cart and then would be given a download after checkout. While this worked, it wasn’t the most efficient way of serving downloads. There’s no reason to clutter the users table with registrations if we don’t have to, you know?
