As I sit here with my iced coffee, I was just thinking about something as it relates to theme development for ClassicPress…
Has anyone established an official theme site (shop) for ClassicPress “only” themes? I am actually giving serious consideration to creating one and begin developing themes for it; again, only focused on CP.
ClassicDesigner ~ https://classicdesigner.co.uk (Not publicly available yet) will be a dedicated ClassicPress web studio that will also release themes and plugins for the platform.
I think we will need to handle themes in the initial version of our plugin directory or very shortly after.
Paid plugins and themes will likely come much later, and that’s not something that’s decided yet either, so there would definitely be a fit for third-party paid directories until then.
We’d also be curious to know what technology people end up using in order to make this work, since we’ve started planning what we need our directory to do but we haven’t started building it yet.
I’m actually planning a new theme section at Rough Pixels where I will begin designing dedicated CP themes. Normally, I’ve been making one theme compatible with WP and CP as one, but with the changes happening with WP, this will no longer be the by the new year. So, I will be creating standalone themes for ClassicPress.
Yup, a theme directory is on its way for the directory. I personally haven’t had much time to push forward on it but will be able to get back to it in July
