Elegentthemes provides WordPress themes of quality and integrity. They craft their themes with a goal of simplicity and professionalism and strive to inject each design with a dose of modest elegance. You can see some of the most attractive WordPress themes there.

Now, they are working on something really smashing – completely re-create the Theme Optoins Page, and in the process add new settings and a new userfriendly design. We are happy to give everyone a look on what you can expect from this new options panel (ePanel).

As you can see, the new design is slick and professional. You will find two levels of tabbed navigation powered by jQuery for quick access to all of the settings. So, you do not have to refresh the whole page to navigate through the menus. Information buttons have been added to every option that, when clicked, reveal a lightbox explanation of the setting and how to use it.

One of the lovely features is the SEO section. Now you can optimize the Title, Meta Description, Meta Keywords for your Homepage, Single Post Page and Index Page easily without editing the stylesheet of the theme directly. Now there is a colorization section too. Instead of having to modify the stylesheet, all you need to do is click on a section that you want to change and then choose the color from the color-picker popup.

Another great thing is that you can integrate some custom codes into your Header, Body, Top of Single Post and Bottom of Single Post as well. It comes in really handy if you would like to customize the theme a bit further.

You can also find a support documents section with easy access to theme installation instructions and troubleshooting guides too. I am really excited to the release of the New Options Panel. The New Options Panel will be available on eBusiness, ePhoto, eNews, Bold, CherryTruffle and PureType. However, it will also be added to all other themes soon.

That epanel looks great! But the SEO part is dumb because you can do better work using All-In-SEO pack or another SEO plugin.

This is absolutely wonderful. CherryTruffle is a favorite of mine, but I can’t wait until they integrate this with the GrungeMag theme as well. I’m very happy and glad to see that Premium Themes such as these are catching up with popular frameworks like Thesis.

@Joel: It’s true that the All-In-One-SEO pack offers a few more options, but most people would prefer to have the basic options already there without having to install an extra plug-in to do the job.

Hi! Can you still use all in one SEO?

Can you still install xml site map plug in?

Do you have fields on epanel CMS that allow for Google analytics on the footer, and webmaster verification on the header, or do you have to install it on the file?

I appreciate the hard work you have put into these themes. they look great. I’m going to subscribe.

I normally make a donation of $10 every time I use all in one, and xml. I respect how much you guys have contributed to the wordpress community. Thank you, John

Can’t get the forward/back arrows or the “Read More” link to work on my slider pages. Anyone know why?
