FrameMarket isn’t just a theme – it’s a full-fledged Parent Theme serving up a great framework for all you theme folks to customize at will! FrameMarket has everything you’d expect.  We’ve done all the hard work for you so that the information is available and ready to be styled however you wish: Frame Market

– Show Products on the Front Page  - Menu Navigation  - Custom Product Comment Form  - Featured Images  - Shopping Cart Integration – Translation Ready  - All the WordPress theme parts you’d expect: 404s, archive, attachment, author, category, page, search, and single

  It’s pretty amazing and makes things much easier for folks wanting to roll their own theme together quickly. We’re very proud of all that it offers and can’t wait to see what folks come up with!  But we figured, why wait?  Let’s give it a go ourselves.  Our very own Tammie Lister took FrameMarket to task and created our first WPMU DEV Child Theme.  We call it Grid Market. Why ‘Grid Market’?  Take a look:

The Grid

  • Full grid theme (there’s some serious CSS going on there!)
  • Step-by-step theme options
  • Fully customizable header, background, and nave menus
  • Ad locations and Google Analytics integration
  • A Full 12 (what!?) Color Styles
  • 6 ‘widgetized’ areas!Checkout
  • Specific Color Variation Options
  • Google Fonts

Combine all of that with a new gorgeous checkout page:   And we’ve also added a new option for Post Formats.  Introduced in WordPress 3.1, post formats allows for you to really show off your content through nifty icons added automatically on your blog.  It’s the level of detail you’ve come to know and love from our themes here at WPMU DEV. Post Formats   FrameMarket answers the question “What about the look of my site?”  Sure, you can have all this functionality in the admin, but it’s the public side that sells your products.  MarketPress does a great job of integrating with your theme by default.  It pulls in the styles of your active theme and provides widgets for an easy way to handle other e-commerce bits such as product listings and shopping carts. But often, that’s not enough.  You needed a dedicated theme to provide the full, streamlined e-commerce experience.  Writing your own theme is time consuming, difficult, and often impossible if your’e not incredibly savvy in PHP, HTML, and CSS. WPMU DEV takes care of this for you with the FrameMarket Theme. And that’s not all.  One child theme is awesome but how about three!  We’re so pleased with the Grid Market theme that we’ve decided to develop another 2!  Stay tuned! :)

Usage

Installing a theme from WPMU DEV

  1. Download the theme file
  2. Unzip the file into a folder on your hard drive
  3. Upload the folder to /wp-content/themes/ folder on your site
  • Make sure your install path is correct for example: /wp-content/themes/framemarket not /wp-content/themes/themes/framemarket
  •  If you’re using multi-site you’ll need to visit Network Admin -> Themes and Activate it there.

For the GridMarket Child Theme

Inside wp-content/themes/framemarket you’ll see another directory entitled themes with a gridmarket folder.  Move this folder to the same wp-content/themes directory to match framemarket as shown below:

BEFORE:  wp-content/themes/framemarket/themes/gridmarket

AFTER:  wp-content/themes/gridmarket

As Super Admin user on WordPress Multisite you have the choice to enable:

a) The theme network wide so that all users can use the theme
b) Enable access to the theme on a per site basis
c) Use Pro Sites to make it available as a premium theme for Pro level sites only

Enabling The Theme network wide

Here’s how to enable FrameMarket or Gridmarket network wide so that all your users can use the theme:

  1. Click on Network Admin > Themes
  2. Select Yesnext to Network to enable its access network wide.
  3. Then click Apply Changes Enbaling themes network wide

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 searching for the specific site by clicking on Network 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 Network 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 Pro Sites Plugin for Premium Themes

The Pro Sites plugin allows you to select premium themes for Pro sites only. The idea is you make the best and nicest themes available on Pro sites so users will want to sign up to access the themes.

To install: Install the Pro Sites plugin as per the installation instructions

How it works is:

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

  • Only themes that haven’t been enabled network wide on Network 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 Pro Sites and Appearance – but only users using Pro site can activate a Premium theme.

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