Online Publishing is Lots of Fun with Transcript
We always worked hard towards releasing new themes that are a perfect blend of technology, SEO, user friendliness, and utility; our new Transcript theme is not any different.
The great success of our Newspaper Theme series had encouraged us to come up with another news/magazine based theme that is clean, simple yet powerful, and fresh enough to let your content speak. Since we always wanted to know what readers would like to see in a new theme, we have taken into account their feedbacks based on a preview of the pre-release theme, and in fact had got some excellent ideas to implement into Transcript.
A large share of user feedback was in favor of including an eye catchy slider and an advertisement management module inbuilt in the Transcript. Hence, in Transcript theme, we have included an innovative advertisement module that lets users enable/disable seven different ad spots, plus a slider, which can easily set to be static/auto rotating via theme control panel. Another innovative addition to the new theme is the Media bar, which is intelligent enough to recognize whether the post is a Photo or Video news, and groups either Video or Photo to display on Media Bar of the theme at a time.
Implement Transcript, and you’ll soon realize newspaper blogging can also be lots of fun. It has some of the best features tailor made for newspaper sites, plus a user friendly and appealing design, with different color combinations. We also provide regular updates to all our users, so that they’ll always have the latest themes/features in their websites.
Demo Transcript – Purchase Page
Very impressed theme, I like the way you put the ads. But the video thumbnails on homepage seems not working..?
Thanks Roy. Videos are being streamed from vimeo. It takes a while to start after clicking on play.
Great looking theme Mehmet, very well done.
Just one thing please, the image rotation section at the top left of the theme seems to be behaving oddly.
1/ Each time picture is rotated the text below jumps and flashes once.
2/ When the whitehouse image is shown it overlaps slightly the text below.
Just making you aware of this so you can take a look.
Keep up the good work, really looking forward to purchasing and using this new theme.
Regards
John
1- Fade effect is configurable, can easily be turned off
2- I couldn’t reproduce it John. Would you mind telling us what browser you have used to test it?
Thanks for nice comment
Mehmet Harikasın :)
Ellerine sağlık gerçekten mükemmel olmuş.
2009 yılının sonlarına damgasını vurucaktır bu tema :)
Sevgilerimle. Halim…
Tesekkür ederim Halim :)
Great news theme, very clean and fresh. I like it!
We are glad to see that comments are coming that way :)
Bought and installed – it`s absolutely fantastic! Good bye thesis theme…
Best
Andreas
I am glad to hear that you liked it Andreas. One thing we forget to include into the installation guide is the size of photos to include. Make sure always to upload 8:6 ratio images for best output
I´m trying hard and some look really bad, but we`ll get that working :)
Mehmet, I have some questions left, can you please grant me access to the forums (user “Andreas”, registered, but not able to post)?
Thank you
Andreas
Your registration is approved Andreas
This theme is good, but it need a little more time to load the homepage, I am not sure if the readers will like a site like this.
It loads as fast as all of our other themes. I didn’t see any delay with site loading time
Damn, Mehmet, everytime I get my sites set up with your themes you introduce an even better one. Transcript is pretty much the bomb!
Good new that the themes you have will have an update pretty soon Todd :)
Solid design and I LOVE THE AD PLACEMENT
Looking forward to a great sale like buy 2 for the price of 1
Great Job.
Richard Dennis
Thanks Richard
We run that campaign for more than half year Richard. As of now we don’t have anything in mind to to start another campaign.
Best yet. This is an excellent theme and further proves the dedication and professionalism of the team behind them. I literally can not wait to implement this theme on our new site!
Editor
Mehmet, is this theme MU compatible? Are you planning to add category rss feeds?
The MU version is not built yet. But the current version works fine with WordPress and multi-authors. Category RSS feeds can easily be added on navigation using one of our tutorials on forums
Is it possible to have som kind of a blogroll on this theme?
It is extremely easy to place a blogroll widget on sidebar using built in widgets feature of WordPress
Brilliant!!!
I would buy it as soon as I can.
Another great theme Mehmet.
And support service is also “deluxe”.
In my opinion there is a problem with category on post: http://www.gabfirethemes.com/demos/transcript/2008/10/two-koreas-hold-military-talks/ No information where I’m, no category display, no path line HOME > Category > Subcategory>. No headline with category (menu).
Second thing – you are here: http://www.gabfirethemes.com/demos/transcript/category/business/, you have Home » Business, BUSINESS on menu line is active – black, correct.
After click some post – and http://www.gabfirethemes.com/demos/transcript/2008/10/global-stocks-plummet-hit-record-lows/ no menu in black, no path… Why? It’s in opposite with usability rules.
It is not a problem Piotr, it is a configuration to be set up actually. You can easily adapt breadcrumb plugin and display it over the all pages. We kept that info only on archive pages, but that can easily be implemented all over the site.
Hello Mehmet, In first time, congratulations for this worpress theme. It is really fantastic. And in the second time, sorry, because I write you from Spain and my english is not very good, but I will try to explain.
We are working in a future blog and we want to use the transcript theme and I’d like to traslate to spanish, but I am only a user and I don’t have knowledge of computer. is it easy? I’d like know too if this theme work with the worpress 2.6.2 version. Thanks a lot for all and, once again, contratulations por your work.
Thanks Fernando,
We have a single file where you need to translate English terms into Spanish. You don’t need any technical knowledge for translation. We also provide support in our support for further questions
If I buy the standard package can i add plugins to it?
Yes you can plugins as well as editing the template files
Thanks for all, Mehmet. With your help, everything is much easier. The theme works perfectly. This is a autentic premium technical service!! Congratulations
Have been using this theme for about one month now, an i am very pleased with it!
Mehmet: I bought Transcript and installed it with ease. As I tinker with the theme settings in admin, I see that most aspects are self-evident and well thought out.
Many thanks for this theme and the simplicity.
I have moved over from Joomla to WP and am very happy to have found your theme.
My site is currently in beta phase.
Hey mehmat this is pretty impressive. I am sure that you must have given weeks into it.
U ROCKK
Transcript is professional, easily accessible and intuitive… everything falls into place and works seamlessly. Thanks Mehmet!!!
Professional design, responsive author , the best design for a newspaper online service
I’m looking for a plug in that will allow me to post stories automaticlly
Hi Mehmet, i used Transcript for a website: http://www.telediocesi.it... At presentation, Your amazing theme had received lot of copliments!!! I forward it to You :D
Greetins from Italy, Giuliano (your italian translator)

Just click on buy now button on purchase page, and start filling form on checkout page
Mehmet,
Thank you for putting together this theme. It is one of the best out there. We have adopted it for our site and are very happy with it (not to mention the site looks great): http://www.plus-size-clothing-magazine.com
Great work, keep it up!
I bought it last week, did a few tweaks, and I love it! http://www.zenkimchi.com/FoodJournal
It’s the most stable WP template I’ve used yet, and I regularly set up WP and Joomla sites. One wish I would love to add is a “Popular Posts” tab next to the “Opinions” and “Posts” tab.
Verry nice theme Mehmet, like always but i have a question , how can I modify the menu so it will look like http://abcnews.go.com/, or how to change the vertical drop down to horizontal position.
Thanks
That seems to be a custom mode, you would need a developer to hire Michael
Hi Mehmet,
I just love the Transcript theme!
Is it possible to have more sections like “world news” and “entertainment” om the fornt page? I would like to have atleast three sections like this for my website, and wondered if its possible without too much tweaking, as Im kind of a neewbie at this yet.
We can but please submit that question into support forums as a support request so we can help you there.
