Layers is built with the newest and neatest WordPress functionalities in mind

In addition to that we have made it very simple for the theme user to change and modify the look and feel of the site with Theme Options reached from the WP admin. The settings are carefully selected to not loose control of the content & layout, but at the same time to make it swift to make quick changes.

Layers Wp Theme supports all modern browsers including Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera & IE8+.

Layers works great on iPhone & iPad, with device adjusted/suited features.

Some of the features:

  • Includes Theme Settings, where you can tweak a lot of design & interface features (incorporated into WP admin, not as separate variables). See screen dump.
  • Tidy permalinks with full support of WP permalink structures. HTML5 history support (= smooth page transitions without messy hash tags), fallbacks on browsers that not support this.
  • Set max image height. You can set a max image height meaning that the large slideshow images will never scale larger than the set value.
  • Supports infinity scrolling (optional) to improve the user experience and make it faster.
  • Support for HTML5 video (limited support) utilizing the attachments. So to add a video to a project, simply upload one .mp4 video and another .ogv video, and a poster image and then you are good to go. Note: video is only supported for modern browsers so if visited on an old browser, the user will get a fallback text message and a link to optionally download the video file. Read more about how to add a video in the Documentation. (Note: Vimeo was ditched as the universal embed interfered with for example the mouse wheel event. They really should do a strict html5 embed version)
  • Arrow Navigation. Support for Left, Right, Up, Down and I (for info) keyboard navigation neatly integrated into the UI.
  • Animations. You can set the transition animation speed and ease type from your Theme Settings (currently only supports 1 ease type, for cross browser optimization).

… and more

  • Supports all image dimensions, landscape and portrait formats.
  • User comments for post/projects (optional).
  • Not visible in the demo but still supported: Search, Categories & Tags in the main menu.
  • Page Columns with shortcodes. The column shortcodes supports both width & spacing and if not set it fallbacks to suit the modul/grid width that you have set in the Theme Settings.
  • Utilizing Shortcodes for preambles (the look can be modified in the theme css). Ex:[ preamble ]Your Preabmle Content[ / preamble ]
  • Share on Twitter button.
  • Plus loads of more goodies.
