Where are the theme settings?

Following the Wordpress Theme Review Guidelines, starting with Mantra v2.5 we had to remove the settings page from the theme and transfer all the settings to the Customizer interface.

However, we feel that the Customizer interface does not provide the right medium (in space of terms and usability) for our existing theme options. We've created our settings with a certain layout that is not yet compatible with the Customizer interface.

As an alternative solution that allows us to keep updating and improving our theme we have moved the settings functionality to the separate Cryout Serious Theme Settings plugin. To restore the theme settings page to previous functionality, all you need to do is install this free plugin with a couple of clicks.

How do I restore the settings?

Navigate to this page to install and activate the Cryout Serious Theme Settings plugin, then return here to find the settings page in all its past glory.

The plugin is compatible with all our themes that are affected by this change and only needs to be installed once.

If you already have the plugin installed make sure you have it updated to the latest available version.


Please remember that this is still an experimental feature.', 'mantra'); ?>
