What wordpress themes do you use?

[kidpressingbuttons]

Hi all,

 

I am moving my school away from their current 1&1 site and have a built an onsite linux wordpress server- I am currently using Catch Flames but would like something a bit more sleek.

Anyone else using Wordpress for their school website? If so what themes are you using?

Mantra, works rather well and quite easy to manage.

I use a theme called Metro, it is very much like windows 8. Although this was a premium theme

 

Welcome to Northfleet Technology College is you want to look at it

The responsiveness on that site is awful, sorry to say! (currently made worse by that popup)

[LosOjos]

I use Montezuma on my personal website because it's extremely customizable: https://wordpress.org/themes/montezuma/

 

My site if you're interested: Geek Josh -

It is that popup causing most of it, but I was told to put it there so I didn't argue

I like the look off Wallstreet and Vantage

 

Oh and X if I could afford it!

Our LEA setup a WordPress MU installation and purchased a theme called Enfold - very powerful. The site page builder is brilliant. Here is a link:

Love the site Gareth. Like how the language switcher is in the menu too. How did you do that? (I'm also at a welsh medium school).

 

I find it strange that you have no news or achievements anywhere, or any upcoming events advertised. That's pretty much what our site is based around.

We use Pagelines, but we have modified the site so much it doesn't actually look like it.

I'm doing the same over the next month it would be great to hear from more wordpress users!

 

Ps. you fine people hosting yourself or are you using wordpress.com hosting?

[sparkeh]

We use Atahualpa, though it doesn't look much like that anymore.

We don't use Wordpress at work but I'm using the Minamaze theme on my personal site. It's quite nice.

Oh gosh! - I've only just seen this reply to my post. Really sorry - I'm not sure why I've never replied.

 

If you still need to discuss the language menu then please do send me a DM. I'm more likely to get it.

 

Regards

Suffusion is also a wonderfully powerful and wonderfully free theme

We're using KingPower for the school site. I use Newspaper for my own blog.

Got a link to your blog @tech_guy?

Hah, you'll be bored by it - it's all about my trips in my VW T5 with Mrs. T_G

As a T5 owner nothing would be further from the truth.

Monty Takes Them Camping | Adventures in a VW T5 Camper… then. Problem with thumbnails in posts which I'll get sorted one day.

I hired a T5 this summer. Hated the experience in the end, I think because it ended up being totally rushed, and something went wrong with the roof... it closed skewed one day and never went back right

Was it a California? Probably the roof piston on one side went. I've seen it happen when in very hot weather.

Go go team blue.

 

We've got a Kombi in blue. Bought it in April last year. Not had the funds to start doing it up at all but we have had some great days out in it.
