About

Thanks for checking out this site! This has become a passion for me to teach others and inspire creativity among the Thesis community. I put this site together as a hobby of mine all the while working my regular job 40+ hours a week and managing to balance all other day-to-day activities like everyone else. I promise I will write new tutorials as time permits as well as answer all the incoming emails and request I get. Thanks for all your positive feedback!

Thesis Hacker is the place to come for important tutorials that are easy to follow and understand, all geared to get you tweaking your Thesis theme to your liking. After you’ve spent some time here, you’ll no longer feel intimidated writing and executing your own hacks. This site is for all of you who want to get the most out of Thesis, from the absolute beginner to the seasoned user.

All the examples and tutorials given are only one way of accomplishing a desired task. They are certainly not the only methods available but they have been proven and adopted by the community as techniques that work. There are thousands of great minds at work out there and all of the combined lessons, practice, and imagination have resulted in some outstanding customization hacks. Better yet, there are thousands more to come. Therein lay the true power of Thesis – its ability to evolve.

You should always assume that I’m currently using the latest versions of Thesis and Wordpress. If you’re running anything older than Thesis 1.4, you should upgrade. Click on the Thesis box to the left to get the latest version. Currently it is 1.5 The latest version of WP is 2.7.1. Some of the older tutorials show screenshots from previous versions of Thesis. Although they might not look like the latest version running, the principles of the techniques still work. As you upgrade, these tutorials will all still work, another great feature of the ever-evolving Thesis.

This site is a work in progress. There will be some days where things seem a little out of whack, images are misplaced, sidebars are moved, etc.,  but that’s because I’m trying new techniques live. I figure why not see what it looks like to succeed and even fail at some things. It’s all a big learning experience.  As it grows I will be implementing many of the hacks right here so you have live examples of what is possible with a little imagination and a willingness to ask and learn. Everything I do on this site will be explained in detail with the help of many generous people who took time to give back to the Thesis community. Feel free to leave your own tutorials, opinions, and examples. Thank you all!
