THEME UPDATE – VERSION 3 .0 – June 11th 2010
This new version includes two separate versions of this theme. One is the old WP2 .9 version and the NEW one (you are interested in) is the all NEW WP3 .0 version. The theme now uses lots of new WP3 features as listed below.
New features:
- Menu Manager — Drag&Drop
- FreshPanel — LOTS of new stuff in there
- WP3 Post Types—Portfolio Posts
- Better support for Video Post—You can choose between displaying the embed video normally OR displaying an image and after clicking on that image, the lightbox will pop out with the embed video.
- Ability to disable the TimThumb automatic resizing of your pictures—You can manually upload image for each “size” (small, medium, large) which is handy for slider for instance
- Ability to set the fixed height in px of the BIG IMAGEs in slider or completely turn it off. And no, the small images in slider remain same, you cant resize these, only that big one.

- No need to fill Theme Options panel when you install it—Just click SAVE and it will fill in your database with the default setup.
- MUCH better and all new documentation. 11 short videos showing you how to do everything.
- The whole installation, customization and setup process is at least 3 times faster than before, thanks to the new WP3 .0 and FreshPanel (SO AWESOME ), you will love it guys
- …and much more (also the bugs reported were also fixed)
If you are updating from the old lcp_v1.4 (for WP2 .9) version, you need to start from scratch. This means new WP3 installation, new database etc. Beginning this date I am proving support mainly to users with new WP3 version so I really suggest you to take some time and update your site. You can of course export your content (posts, pages, etc.) into an .xml file and then import it back to your new installation, so it’s not like you are going to “lose” your content.
THEME UPDATE – VERSION 1 .4 – May 4th 2010
Buyers, please redownload the files. Lots of bugs were fixed and the automatic sliding slider was added – you can adjust it via theme options. I’ve rewritten lots of code so I can’t provide detailed instructions how to update, you need to update the whole package. But you can backup your images and css files and then integrate them back to the new v1.4 to see if it fits.
THEME UPDATE – VERSION 1 .3 – November 20th ‘09
Buyers, please redownload the files. Lots of bugs were fixed and some wishes were fulfilled, mainly the preloading for images in slider. I highly encourage you to do that because first updates are likely to be the most important ones and fixes the important bugs!
