Farms 133 theme pack

This theme pack will take your WordPress and WordPress Multisite to the next level.

Contained within are 133 professional, premium, beautiful, tested functional and fully supported themes.

Wordpress theme pack

Check them out, divided into ‘standard’ and ‘premium’ themes (you can change this at will) in the screenshots.

Each theme has been completely tested, updated for the latest WordPress functionality (widgets, custom headers, threaded comments, slick galleries and more!) and we’ve even made sure that each one is 100% internationalized.

Every theme is covered by our Upgrade and Support Guarantee – so if you have any problems, we’ll fix them right up for you!

No more bugs, no more headaches, no more compatibility issues.

Each theme has been tested with WPMU DEV plugins and other features on Edublogs – and as part of that we’ve also designed in consistency across the whole pack.

So, for example, all pages now operate the same in that they all have comments, but when comments are turned off, no ‘comments closed’ text appear.

Gallery and caption CSS code is included… in every single theme.

Sample Gallery and image CSS

WordPress 2.9 thumbnail code is fully supported too!

And on a geeky front, we’ve:

replaced PHP_SELF call in search to bloginfo(‘url’) *security issue
added load_theme_textdomain() to all themes
replaced the hardcoded footer ‘hosted by..’ main site link to auto fetch a link to the main site
replaced timthumb usage in some themes to auto fetch thumbnail images
separated comments and pingback with custom wp_list_comment call, so you can turn off trackbacks if not used
replaced the hardcoded date time call to wordpress built in gmtdate()
added missing wp_head() and wp_footer() in some themes

But of course it doesn’t stop there, you can now use our amazing Supporter plugin to offer your users use of these themes as ‘Premium Themes’ (just like we do on Edublogs!)

Offer your users premium themes

And every theme is also tagged, so you can allow users to sort through them based on available tags.

Every theme has tags

Making this, without doubt, the most comprehensive, fully supported and up to date collection of themes you will find anywhere on the web… and we hope you enjoy them :)

Locating your theme folder on your computer

Locating your theme folder on your install

8. Select one theme folder in the folder on your computer and drag it into your into wp-content/themes folder to upload one theme at a time to your WordPress directory

When you upload theme we recommend that it is good practice to upload each theme one by one to avoid chances of errors during FTP.
Check names of folders on your computer and those in wp-content/themes folder – don’t select any folders that have the same name as those in your WordPress directory unless you are happy to overwrite them

Uploading the theme

9. Dragging the theme folders from your computer into theme folder in your WordPress directory uploads these new themes to your WordPress install however they aren’t enabled on a WordPress multisite install.
10. As Super Admin on WordPress Muiltisdite you have the choice to enable:

a) All themes network wide so that all users can choose from the entire selection of themes
b) Limited number of themes network wide and enable specific themes on a per site basis
c) Use Supporter plugin via supporter-themes.php to select premium themes for supporter sites only

Enabling Themes network wide

To change what themes are available network wide:

1. Click on Super Admin > Themes
2. Select the themes you want to make available to all your site users by selecting Yes
3. Then click Update Themes

Enabling themes on a per site basis

Any theme that has not been activated for the entire network can be activated on a site as follows:

1. Locate the site you want to enable specific themes on by either:

a) Searching for the specific site by clicking on Super Admin > Admin

b) Clicking on Super Admin > Sites

Super Admin > Sites

2. Once you have located the site click on Edit (hovering your mouse over the domain name brings up the action menu)

Edit Site

3. Select the themes you want to enable and then click Update Options.

Only themes that haven’t been enable network wide appear on the site theme list
Be careful editing information in the left hand column in the Edit site page. For example, changing the Path URL of a site means it won’t be able to locate the Site URL of that site.

Enabling a theme for a site only

Using Supporter Plugin for Premium Themes

The supporter plugin allows you to select premium themes for supporter sites only.

The idea is you make the best and nicest themes available on supporter sites so users will want to sign up to access the themes.

To install:

1. Install the Supporter plugin as per the installation instructions.
2. Upload supporter-themes.php to wp-content/mu-plugins

How it works is:

1. A Premium Themes page is added to Super Admin > Supporter where you can select the themes that you want to enable for Supporter sites only.

Only themes that haven’t been enabled network wide on Super Admin >Themes will be listed on this page

Premium themes page in Site Admin > Supporter

2. A Premium Themes sub-menu item is added to the dashboard of all sites under both Supporter and Appearance – but only users using supporter site can activate a Premium theme.

3. Whereas users on non-supporter sites can see all the Premium themes but can’t activate them – instead they see a message saying ‘This feature is limited to supporters only’
