    Hi, great great work!

    If it is not too immodest to write it would be wonderful to have some code snippets in the update that makes the loop run in:

    • grids (or panels with data-equalizer)
    • tabs
    • accordions
    • dropdowns

    Do you think that might be possible?

    Also it would be nice to have a customizer for the off-canvas menu.

    I would like to mention that the code for displaying all these on a page or single post works pretty well – it’s like manual coding in html, but with the RAW HTML plugin it works even better. Perfect for more experimental and individual layouts.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for the review. I am glad you like the theme. Your requests are great. However all of these items are already provided by Foundation itself. As you stated all anyone has to do is manually code them in.

    The reason these are not included as shortcodes is because of bloat. I do not believe in bloat especially when it comes to something that can be manually coded. For me its not about a theme that is “all inclusive” or has a billion and one options. Its about presenting a theme that is easy to use and understand. Its meant to teach as well as present information.

    I was at one point going to work on a plugin to be used along with the theme but that got left on the back burner. Now with a little more thought and planning its slowly but surely making its way into fruition again.

    I have no eta on it but just know that I am working on and hope to present another gift to the awesome community soon.

    Again thanks for the review and if there is anything I can answer for you or help with, by all means let me know.

    As always, enjoy!

    Thanks for the reply! Yes sure, things can be done without shortcodes easily, and actually I like it this purist way without them.

    But the Foundation grid can only be applied to a page or single post – as part of the design/layout.

    However all of these items are already provided by Foundation itself.

    The loop running through the grid would mean something like that:

    <div class=”row>
    <div class=”medium-4 columns>
    Here content of post-ID-1
    </div>
    <div class=”medium-4 columns>
    Here content of post-ID-2
    </div>
    <div class=”medium-4 columns>
    Here content post-ID-3
    </div>
    <div>
    <div class=”row>
    <div class=”medium-4 columns>
    Here content of post-ID-4
    </div>
    <div class=”medium-4 columns>
    Here content of post-ID-5
    </div>
    <div class=”medium-4 columns>
    Here content of post-ID-6
    </div>
    <div>

    So it’s more a function than a design issue that I miss. And it’s not possible to do it with Foundation. I think something like that would really add a nice dimension to the theme.

    I am curious to see the update, and thanks for your excellent work!

    Ah I see what your saying. Well what you are looking for is a very dynamic theme, one which is also in the planning stages.

    You see as I stated before, this is the exact purpose WP-Forge was created for and the role the commercial child themes will fill.

    I have been asked for this numerous times. I think that now is the time to just to show everyone what can be done with WP-Forge, a child theme and a little research.

    Thanks for the inspiration.
