Wow, thanks Andy. You are my hero ??

We are working on a new photography theme and this is *exactly* what I was looking for. Well done!

Hi there,

We offer a built in custom logo / header image option in the PRO version of Titan. More details here about the differences between the PRO and free version are here:

Thanks for pointing these out.

If you are still getting these localization errors with the latest version would you mind posting the line numbers along with a correction or two so I can understand what needs to be fixed?

Thanks!

Same issue on WP 2.8.4. Hopefully we hear something soon.

Wow, thanks David! I really appreciate your kind words and thorough review. Very informative. This is turning into a helpful thread.

We plan on keeping Vigilance lean and clean so you won’t have to worry about us tossing in tons of extra features and bloating the code.

I would also like to note that Vigilance is a free GPL theme and Thesis is not. We give users the option to upgrade to a PRO membership and get unlimited support and additional features, but the theme itself is free to download and use.

Thanks Kevin!

I appreciate your kind words about Vigilance and your honesty. You did an excellent job of summarizing the pros and cons of each theme. I think it is great that WordPress users now have a well thought out and unbiased comparison of the two themes.

Hi BedeF!

I am the developer of Vigilance, so I may be a little biased ?? That being said I have not used Thesis in a live environment. I know they have done a bunch of great work to allow for a ton of customization “out of the box”.

Vigilance allows for a ton of customization as well, but probably not as much “out of the box” customization as Thesis. If you are planning to do any “serious” customization with either theme you are going to have to get your hands dirty with some code.

From an SEO standpoint I would say they are even, this is often an over-hyped feature that really comes down to using clean coding practices and adding some small SEO enhancements.

One of the great features of Vigilance from a user experience standpoint is the use of a child theme. This allows you to customize your theme without having to worry about overwriting your changes when you upgrade.

Anyway, hope that helps!

We eventually got this figured out. He hadn’t figured out how to use widgets ?? The theme itself has no problem handling categories in the sidebar.

bcannon,

Vigilance really isn’t set up for a drop down menu but you could do some customization and get it working. If you do be sure to use a child theme so you can keep upgrading the theme without overwriting your changes.

The theme does in fact have a sidebar. Not sure why the previewer is not including it. For a live preview of the theme please visit:

Thank you for the compliments. Glad you are enjoying Vigilance!

Jesper:

It seems you no longer have the theme active. If you re-activate it I can help you try to identify the problem.

Mark:

Thanks for the kind words!

The Vigilance page I linked to is running the Vigilance theme. Every customization you see was done through the Theme Options Menu. Check out the Tutorials section for info on the Theme Options and let me know if you have any other questions.
