Wordpress Devlopment Themes and ideas

[MasterOfMyDomains]

I couldn't find a thread on wordpress development, different themes and favorite plugins, so i thought I would

start one and see if there is any interest. If not it will get buried soon enough.

I am currently looking for a theme at themeforest and wanted to now if anyone had any favorites they use?

Or is there a different place I could look for a good theme?

If anyone has an example of a word press site they built, so we can see themes in action would be awesome.

My blog is a WP site built on Genesis and a responsive child theme shell.
I made lots of tweaks to it, but I know my way around php and css.

The problem I have with all those theme examples (on any site) is that they never look anything like the examples when you install them on your site. I have a really hard time seeing past their carefully selected, professional images, to what my site could look like.

That describes a majority of themes on the market.

Thrive includes tools to make sure the images are the right size and quality for optimal fit & minimal load times. I have not yet mastered that.

The down side of Thrive is that it opens up so much control of the user experience I am struggling to learn how to use it well. With the basic WP themes there are lots of things you can't do, which is good in many ways. A richer tool has a more demanding learning curve. If you don't need or learn to use the advanced features you would be ahead to keep things simple.

Thrive looks nice. What type of site are you using it for?

If you are in affiliate marketing and want to build your email list then go for ThriveThemes... My personal favorite is Sahifa theme because I'm using it for review site...Easy to use...

Shouldn't everyone be building an email list? Would Thrive be good for a magazine site @Messiah? What sites do you use Thrive on?

Themes... I've recenty bought a full subscription for mythemeshop.com suits for simpe (but modern, functional and responsive) blogs/magazines. I've never found good enough in my oppinion free theme.

I was considering a full subscription to mythemeshop. The themes all see easy to use and work out-of-the-box well. At least for magazine/blog sites. Has that been your experience @tech_noir?

Exactly. Except I've had to do a lot of customization and even re-code some aspect of the scripts.
Right now I'm figuring out how to integrate Escrow.com into the check-out process.

yes. But so far I've only used only two (one free and one normal). Never even had the tme to try the full subscriotion I've bought. Just guess the others are the same quality too.
Well there are some quite minor things like inline CSS and !importants ocasionally, but generally I am happy.
Fully responsible too indeed. Also very usable if you have serveral websits and need to make them mobile-ready fast.

Well, they should build email list but not everyone is focused towards email list building than the affiliates...
I don't use thrive actually on any of my websites. I use Sahifa for (magazine/review) and sidewalk for other sites....
Thrive seems to have a good magazine theme. You can check here... https://thrivethemes.com/themes/performag/

I use theme junkie and I find them to be good

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

Thanks everyone for the input. I chose the Rise theme by thrive. https://thrivethemes.com/themes/#themes
Constantly discovering new things, but can't seem to find what I am looking for.
Testing out support now, I've been reading everyone's posts and checking out some awesome links and theme sites.
Does anyone use jetpack? I have been looking into it, I like to have some extra security. Jetpack has google authenticator, maybe 2 factor.
Now i have a theme, I need a logo so I will be using @Penta GI . He has been really helpful so far, as i have many questions. I like his theme and site www.Gwappa.com
Maybe i will end up switching themes 30 day guarantee. But I do like Rise theme overall and finding new tools all the time.
Hoppy Easter Everyone

There are btw sites like Themetix.com where one can reverse search a theme then websites using it populates. Great tool if you want to see how others design a theme you're merely thinking over.

They did the same with plugins at pluginu.com

--------------------

About security - I use All in One WP security & Firewall. Comprehensive security for admin and users (if you plan on creating a community). I like that this allows you to change your login page from domain.com/wp-admin and Database prefix to whatever string you enter.

Other features which Im looking to explore more:
File backup - I also use UpDraft which is integrated with Google Drive just in case either one doesn't work.
Comment Spam Security
Hotlink and Text copy prevention

Actually lots more.
