AppThemes has released an updated version of ClassiPress Theme – ClassiPress 3.5.1. According to AppThemes, this is a major release that comes with significant changes, performance improvements and bug fixes. In addition to this, if you are using a child theme that was purchased from AppThemes Marketplace, then it is recommended to you that you contact the seller on a priority basis and make sure it’s been updated to work with ClassiPress V3.5.X. If you are using your own customized child theme, then you’ll need to update your template files to mirror the new changes in 3.5.X.
To update ClassiPress Theme to the latest version you can use the AppThemes Updater Plugin or you can download the updated version from members area for free. For your information, this major release brings much-needed design overhaul throughout the whole theme. On the backend AppThemes have re-organized the settings in a more logical way, adding richer descriptions, new tooltips and replaces all icon stripes with font icons. In addition to this, AppThemes has made all the tablet listings responsive, so that most of the columns are hidden on small screens, mirroring the default WP behavior.
