I know we all have been waiting for Thesis 2.0 release and now it’s officially confirmed that Thesis 2.0 will be launching on 1st October 2012 and this is going to be a major release with many new feature. Specially Thesis 2.0 will feature official support for Thesis skins and an easy to use Thesis skin editor, which will help you to quickly edit your Thesis theme.

Now, we have talked about this earlier and it’s officially confirmed that Thesis 2.0 is going to be costlier than current Thesis pricing and unlike other theme club, we don’t get to see discount code for Thesis. If I remember, only official Thesis discount code which I have seen is almost 2 and half year back when Thesis was launched and there is no discount coupon offered after that. Infact, I was expecting discount last year @black friday but seems like no luck for us. I hold a developer license and for any existing Thesis user, DIYthemes offer free lifetime upgrade. This means, Thesis 2.0 is going to be free for me or for any existing user.

How you can get discount on Thesis theme?

Well, this is not exactly discount but it will help you to save up to 33% if you buy Thesis before 1st October 2012. Once Thesis 2.0 is out, the price of Thesis developer license will increased by $33. Here is breakdown of current and Thesis 2.0 price:

Pricing:                Single user license          Developer License

Current:               $87                                       $164

Thesis 2.0:         $99                                       $197

Looking at huge lis of new features we are going to get in Thesis 2, I’m sure any serious Blogger and IM like me and you would not mind paying this price for Thesis. Though, this is your last chance to save money on Thesis WordPress theme and before Thesis 2.0 will be out, you have the chance to buy Thesis and get free Thesis 2.0.

Grab Thesis at Discounted price

In case if you miss to grab this discount, there is nothing more to lose. You can Download Thesis 2.0 at current pricing and you will be entitled to free upgrade for every future release.

Thesis is no doubt Thesis is one of the best SEO WordPress Theme in the market and there is no reason that you should not buy Thesis and use it on your blog to make most out of it. But when it comes to WordPress, plugin and theme conflicts are always an issue and bugs come without sending you a prior notification. Earlier I talked about Upgrade Thesis error message which I faced on my site and I realized the bug is because of Browser cache option in W3tc. Not sure, if it’s a compatibility issue or something else, but my suggestion is, If you are using W3TC plugin and making design or CSS changes, always disable browser cache option of W3TC.

Options.design Option Error While Update Big Ass Save button:

So this is new bug or conflict issue which I came across recently and I will also mention the steps I have taken to resolve the issue. So, one of my Thesis client was making some design changes from Thesis design option manager, and when he hit the Big ass save button, he got following error:

• Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/bradcham/public_html/wp-content/themes/thesis_185/lib/classes/options_design.php on line 468
• Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/bradcham/public_html/wp-content/themes/thesis_185/lib/classes/options_design.php on line 489
• Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/bradcham/public_html/wp-content/themes/thesis_185/lib/classes/options_design.php:468) in /home/bradcham/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 881

Here is a  screenshot of the error:

Here are few steps which I have taken and that didn’t solved the issue, but since I read about them on WordPress support forum and on other blogs, I’m outlining them and this may solve your issue:

• Disable browser cache option of W3 total cache plugin and delete all cache (If this helps, you are lucky)
• Another suggestion from WordPress forum was to work on whitespace issue and check the files which are showing in error message for any white space. This is tough one but you can try this. Though in my case, I couldn’t find white space and honestly, it’s tough to find white space for a normal user.
• Upgrade Thesis: I also upgraded Thesis theme of client from 1.8 version to latest version but again the same error message popped up.

So, I was sure it has to do something with Database or may be corrupt Thesis design option page. Now, if you are also getting Cannot modify header information error in Thesis and none of above (Specially point 1) worked for you, here is the simple solution:

Fixing Cannot modify header information in Thesis WordPress theme

• Login to WordPress dashboard.
• Go to Thesis > Manage option
• Click on restore default design option

And viola your site design will be back. But you will lose all the custom changes you made in design option panel and you need to re-edit the changes. If you have taken backup of Thesis site option and design options earlier, you can use that .dat file to quickly restore everything or you can take help of our Thesis customization service.

• Read: How to take Thesis backup of Design and option page

Also, I highly recommend to take a monthly backup of your Thesis custom folder and design and custom options from Thesis >Manage options page. It’s better to be safe than sorry. I hope this will help you to solve your problem but if you are still stuck, don’t forget to let me know via comments and I can have a look.

When WordPress 3.4 was released last week, I was thinking what’s there for Thesis? Will we be seeing a minor update or we going to get our hand dirty with Thesis 2.0, which is one of the most awaited version of Thesis. Not so surprisingly, Thesis 1.8.5 is launched and ready to be downloaded from DIYthemes.com.

Download Thesis 1.8.5

I was quite surprised to  see 1.8.5 version of Thesis, as Thesis 2 was in my expected release, and after 1.8.4 release, 2.0 was highly expected. Yesterday, in a blog post Chris pearson announced the launch of Thesis 1.8.5 and also mentioned that Thesis 2.0 is in it’s final stage for alpha testing and we can expect it by August 2012 with some amazing new features.

Here are changelog for Thesis 1.8.5 Version:

Now here is some good news for existing Thesis users: Thesis 2.0 is going to come up with many enhanced feature and DIYthemes will also release few addons and skins for Thesis in coming months. Addons will be extra features that we can use to extend the functionality of Thesis theme. Though, there is no official word on if upcoming Thesis addons are going to be paid or free.

For now, you can refer to my guide on How to upgrade Thesis or take my professional help to upgrade your Thesis theme to latest version. If you are still not a Thesis user, you should grab it before Thesis 2.0 will come out in August, as we are expecting a huge increment in price of Thesis.

I have been using Thesis from more than 2 year now and I never had any issue until recently my Thesis site options and design options started showing “Upgrade Thesis” button.

When ever I open my Thesis site option and design option page it says:

Oooh, Exciting!

It’s time to upgrade your Thesis, which means there’s new awesomeness in your immediate future. Click the button below to fast-track your way to the awesomeness!

Upgrade Thesis

Here is a screenshot of this error:

Last time when this error happened, I had to do a clear installation of Thesis by removing Thesis tables from WordPress database and it was easy but time consuming task. I looked into Thesis support form for help and realize it’s just not me but many others are facing the similar issue.

Only thing which was common between me and others facing the similar issue was W3 Total cache plugin.

W3 total cache is an advanced caching plugin for WordPress but at times it create lots of issues. I have been running my blog on W3tc plugin for quite some time but with recent upgrade it created lots of issues. Anyways, we will get back to W3tc with different post but for now, if you are facing the similar issue, try flushing all your cache and disabling W3tc plugin. It worked for me and might work for you.

You might like to take a quick backup of Thesis site option and design settings by going to manage options under Thesis theme. Here is a quick tutorial on How to take Thesis theme design and site options backup.

KMP blog is one of the active blog and one of my old client. I have been doing lots of work for her and lately I realized her custom theme is not well optimized for SEO. Many useless pages like page1/page2 and so on has been indexed by Google. Obviously there are other issues as well. So I suggested her to move to Thesis theme which we are using in all of our blogs like ShoutMeloud, CallingAllgeeks, ThemePremium and so on.

Arie loved her blog design and she wanted to move to Thesis theme by keeping the exact same look and feel. We migrated her blog theme to Thesis theme within 24 hours. Before we share her testimonial here is a screenshot of her theme.

Thesis 1.8.2 Released is a post from: Thesis Customization Service

We all know Thesis theme is one of the most powerful SEO WordPress theme at the moment. Moving to Thesis theme will give you great SEO advantage. Thesis theme comes with lots of SEO option which also included single post SEO options. Now if you are one of those who started using Thesis recently and using ALL in one SEO details, simply disabling all in one SEO plugin is not a good idea.

In order to let Thesis handle our WordPress blog SEO, we need to migrate all data from ALL in one SEO plugin to Thesis theme and completely disable the all in one SEO plugin. When we do Thesis customization for our client, we also make sure that we take care of Blog SEO along with it. Else despite of great design, blog SEO will not be very effective. Here I’m sharing a quick tutorial, which will help you to migrate all your all in one SEO detail into Thesis Theme.

To complete this SEO detail migration process, we will be using a plugin call Meta Thesis WordPress plugin. This plugin was designed to migrate SEO details when you change such theme framework or change your SEO plugin like from all in one SEO to platinum SEO and so on.

Step by step guide:

To start with, install meta Thesis plugin and activate it.

So once your plugin is activated, go to Meta Thesis settings and click on Import AIOSEOP data.

That’s it and all your ALL in one SEO data is now added into Thesis SEO field and now you can delete the all in one SEO plugin. You can follow delete cust0m field WordPress tutorial, to completely remove AIOSEO plugin tables from WordPress database.

This plugin is also very handy when you are moving back to some other theme from Thesis. This way, you are not dependent on any theme for your SEO needs.

More over, by moving all one SEO details into Thesis, you are lowering down your plugin count by one and your blog will be more faster.

If you face any issue or have any question regarding migrating SEO details, do let us know.
