Nearly 7 months ago Flyn told us that the job was almost done..........:confused:

After 7 years using Atahualpa in many projects I'm sad to leave Atahualpa, one of the greatest theme ever.
A responsive theme is a must nowadays, and Google will penalize sites not being up to date with new technologies. :( Sadly Atahualpa isn't responsive... I'm really looking forward for updates on this fantastic theme, hopefully soon. But for now I have to start looking for alternatives. :confused: |
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Atahualpa. I don't want to leave (and am totally unsatisfied with any other theme I've found) but with the 21st deadline looming, I am looking at what to switch to.
Sad, sad, sad. Hoping I get some news really soon that it's done. Anything??:( |
Back at the beginning of this thread, Flynn mentioned Page Builder, which I discovered independently just over a week ago.
It gives amazing layout control over the center column and is completely responsive. It's essentially a widget framework, and you can load just about anything into the containers it gives you. It takes about an hour to learn the basics, and I reconstructed and transferred an old (non-atahualpa) WordPress site in a couple of days. There isn't much you can't do between Atahualpa and this Plug-in. Just lose your sidebars and use your imagination. I tired to give them a donation, but the website says it's free and always will be - so this is not an ad. |
email from google:

@tick9 - have you seen this thread: How To pass Google's 'Mobile-Friendly Test' ?

Any news on the coming Atahualpa 4.0
|
It looks like this is on the same road as themeframe...:(
|
I switched to Themler, does it all you need. http://themler.com/
|
Any news on the coming Atahualpa 4.0? Likely to be within the next couple of months?
|
Is version 4.0 just delayed or has it been kai boshed?
|
I've got something like 30 sites done with ATA. But nobody wants a static "sidebar & header" site anymore (and when clients "think" they do, I tell them how poor their sites will look compared to the competition). I've built my last couple sites with X-Theme, and while I miss the awesome control panel from ATA, it's just light years behind a modern theme with drag & drop page creation, independent page styling, and full responsive design with all the animated stuff people like. Maybe the ATA team is about to blow our minds - something like X-Theme with ATA's controls would be the ultimate site creator for the next phase of the web. I'll cross my fingers.
|
Just three and a half week to go and than it is one year ago Flynn told us the job was nearly done.
|
I think we really need a responsive theme that works well with the mobile ads. Mobile ads are getting larger shares by day, its very important to our incomes.
|
Themler or TemplateToaster do the job.

I loved the Atahualpa theme also, and then it vanished about June 1, 2015, taking all widgets and plugins with it. I was not able to restore it, even after deactivating it, despite my dashboard saying that it was still active and working fine. Flynn, was there an update about June 1 that I didn't check?
Does anyone know if PressPlay will work better? So far it is doing almost everything I want except for updating the header background. It hasn't been updated in 2 years. Is it still safe to use? |
I've used ATA since 2010, and I loved it, never wanting to switch, but tired of waiting for a responsive version, I switched to Responsive Pro from Cyberchimps.
|
Strange that nobody of the team replies on all these questions concerning 4.0.
|
Contempt of their customers. I paid for ThemeFrame, but you hear or see anything anymore.
|
The only one who can answer this is Flynn the developer. Larry and I are just volunteer moderators.
|
I also love Atahualpa and have done over a dozen websites based on this theme. Over the last years the desire and pressure to design responsive sites have gotten stronger and stronger. Now, near the end of 2015, I am feeling I have to leave Ata and sadly start to search for alternatives.
|
So, Flynn, give us all an answer.
|
And what if I did make theme mobile friedly? Do I have to remove that first or does it speak for itself?
|
This thread is really embarrasing for BytesForAll. :-(
A whole year of promising ver 4 and responsiveness and nothing said about it for many months. It looks dead in the water to me. Looking for alternative theme now and probably never coming back... ~ |
