As a WordPress developer you seem to be always looking for a new theme, something that will be fresh, new and novel. This is what brought me to use the EvoLve theme.
On the plus side the EvoLve theme is a free theme, available on WordPress.org, from a company called Theme4Press. The look is clean and uncluttered, something I can present and work with. I do like the home page slider options, which allow you to have up to 5 slider images. I also like the 3 front page content boxes that appear under the slider. They have large eye catching icons, some text and a call to action button for more info.
Simple I am, unless there is complexity required. Why mess with simple if it works and you need nothing else, I say. Such is the case with the WordPress theme “Default Enhanced”, now seemingly defunct. I still like it, so I changed it. Here are my documented changes.
Make a Child Theme: The first thing to do is to make a child theme. This is pretty easy, so research it. You really need only two files: style.css and functions.php. If the theme writer ever updates the theme for security or other reasons your changes will not be wiped out but overlayed on top of the update.
