Baddd Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Hi, Can anyone do custom theme designs? I need someone who can use this design as a ipb4.x theme: http://themes.tielabs.com/sahifa/ or http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/homepage-clean/ I will be using this wordpress template and bridge it with ipb 4, but want to keep that design on my forums aswell (header, global colours and css styles, and footer) Link to comment
DesignzShop Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Hello, are you looking to pay or have someone do it for free? If you are looking to pay you may want to look at our Ignitor theme Regards Link to comment
Baddd Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Hi, I am willing to pay for it. I will check. The Ignitor theme is still a forum theme only, using its own styles. If I use that with one of those wordpress theme, it would still have 2 different looks. Can you create of customize a theme to match one of those wordpress themes? Link to comment
DesignzShop Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 For me, using someone else's custom theme could bring issues especially when using 2 different softwares. For example, once everything is done the wordpress custom theme author may make fixes or adjustments to that skin that would directly effect your IPB application. The cost to maintain that could add up over time depending on how much the author pays attention to his work. I've actually been down this road twice now and recently to boot. Both Clients ended up purchasing the IPB application that best fit what they wanted to do. Have you tried out Pages or Blogs from IPB? Each does what a WordPress site does and this would allow you to keep the same theme throughout. Aside from that, others here may be able to help you. Just not something I care to personally do again or go through and in the end my clients have agreed staying with one software was much easier and safer to maintain.. Just my 2 cents anyhow.

Baddd Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Yes, I have thought about using ip.content. But I haven't come across any design or website that uses ip content with a style like newsmag of those in my links. Link to comment
DesignzShop Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 This site uses pages and blogs, you can check them both out there if you want to see working models. Also at DesignzShop, I use pages for my index and elsewhere. https://www.officialdrummer.com/index.html/ Link to comment

Regards I can confirm that WP theme updates always should be attended by the developer who has made the customization by implementing the WP theme (or parts of it, especially header and CSS/JS) into IP.board's theme - a blind auto update could break the site. Minor updates should not generate any issues normally, but sometimes minor updates include major changes even they shouldn't. On the other hand, Pages or Blogs from IPB are not comparable with WordPress - there are reasons why WP is a major in blogging and even business sites nowadays and Invisionpower has it's focus on board software. I understand why many users want to have advantages from both worlds on their site. I'll offer these integration desires in a couple of months once IPBWI for WordPress 4 is released. Link to comment
DesignzShop Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Quote Pages or Blogs from IPB are not comparable with WordPress I agree with everything you said but this. Each has their own advantages and dis-advantages. Quote I'll offer these integration desires in a couple of months once IPBWI for WordPress 4 is released. That's awesome! Hopefully the price is affordable to maintain Regards Link to comment

You can get Pages to pretty much do what you want, but you're coding it to make it do it. WP offers more features out of the box when it comes to content drive. And, you can always do all of the custom content types in WP to also do whatever you want (just like pages) Link to comment
