Possible Usages

How To Download

To download Retouch, just sign up for an account. If you need access to our support forum or video tutorials, you’ll need to have a paid account.

Responsive Design

iPhone, iPad and Kindle are no match for Emporia. It will adapt to different screen sizes so that your website will work and be optimized for any of these mobile devices. Even the slideshow is responsive. Woot!

Progressive Enhancement

If you are using a modern web browser, you’ll see some special CSS treats such as text shadow, box shadows, columns and border radius. If you are not using a modern web browser, shame on you!

Plugin Integration

This theme was designed to integrate seamlessly with our GPP Slideshow and the GPP Shortcodes plugins. Simply install both plugins to be able to add slideshows and shortcodes.

Theme Options

The theme options page allows you to configure things such as fonts, styles, upload a logo, upload a favicon, add Google Analytics tracking, and fine-tune your layout.

Automatic Theme Updates

When new versions of Emporia are released, you can update automatically from your WordPress admin panel by installing the GPP Theme Updates plugin. Easy as pie.

Download

In order to download Emporia, you’ll need to be a paid member of Graph Paper Press (view plans). If you are already a paid member, then hop on over to your member dashboard and start downloading. Remember, Emporia is a child theme for Base, so make sure you download and install both Base and Emporia. Then simply activate Emporia to get running.

Enjoy amigos!

I have a real problem with the options available to creative professionals who are looking to sell their work online.  The options are expensive, confusing and typically don’t integrate well into WordPress. There are impressive hosted e-commerce solutions, but many tend to be overly complex and time consuming to setup.

We’re going to change all that, but we need your help.

We’ve secretly been working away on a new plugin that will turn any image, pdf, video, mp3 or document into a product that your users can download.  If you can upload it into WordPress, you can sell it.  You will be able to:

• Sell photos, videos and pdf’s online (download & reprints)
• Run your own stock agency
• Keep 100% of all sales
• Log into one website to manage your portfolio, blog and online storefront

Best of all, it will be free. Free as in the wind.  We plan on having version 1.0 ready for download by April 1, 2012.  In the mean time, we’re looking for:

• BETA Testers – WordPress users who have 10-15 minutes every 10 days or so to test the plugin during the development cycle.
• Early Adopters – Creatives with a WordPress site who want to use the plugin. You’ll be featured in Blog posts, newsletters and press releases.

As I mentioned above, we need your help. Please use the comments below to answer the following questions:

What are your frustrations or desires with your current e-commerce options for selling photos, videos or pdfs online?

Please post/vent/curse/convulse/spew in the comments below.  We are all ears.

Do you care how your website performs on mobile devices? Did you know that mobile browsing now accounts for an estimated 10% of all web traffic in the U.S. and is predicted to quickly approach 15%?

Mobile browsing is gobbling up market share faster than knife fight in a phone booth. How people engage with your online portfolio and business is changing. How you respond to those changes is critical to your site’s success.

Why You Might Need A Responsive Website

As more and more people access the internet from devices of varying sizes, you are left with a few choices:

1. Treat your mobile visitors like one big heaping mass and serve them the all the same desktop-oriented website.
2. Build a website targeting iPhones. Build another version targeting iPads. Build a yet another version targeting desktops. Build a website targeting….well, you get the point.
3. Build one website that can adapt to the screen size of any device (build a responsive website).

Clearly, option #3 wins by a landslide for reasons we need not explain further (pssst…if you do in fact need further explanation, post a comment below and we’ll chat).

How do you make your website responsive? It’s simple:

1. Download one of our Responsive WordPress Themes
2. Install it on your WordPress site
3. Done! Ooh la la!

Upgrade Notice

In order to make our themes lightweight and responsive, a few things changed that you should be aware of:

Base

• Shortcodes have been removed and are now available in the GPP Shortcodes plugin. This plugin supports a fluid, responsive grid and can be used in any theme.
• Theme Updates have been removed and are now a available in the GPP Theme Updates plugin. This plugin allows you to update any Graph Paper Press theme automatically when new versions are released.
• Import/Export option was removed and is now available in the GPP Import/Export plugin.

Focal Point

• The GPP Slideshow plugin is now a responsive slideshow plugin, meaning that the slides (images) scale to fit small and large browsers.
• The category slider has been removed and is being converted into a responsive slider plugin.

Sidewinder

• Sidewinder now supports two menu positions: Main and Top.  Use the Main Menu position if you want your navigation to transform into a sleek select box when on mobile devices.  If your menu contains lots of items and drop downs, this ensures it will scale well on mobile devices.

Ready to Update Your Themes Automagically?

The GPP Theme Updates plugin allows you to update your GPP theme with just a few simple clicks. After entering your license key (from our Member’s area), click update, and voila, your theme will be up to date. The plugin will also auto-save a version of your old theme, so you have the option to revert back if you ever need to.

Create Responsive Slideshows

We’ve updated the GPP Slideshow plugin to be responsive and it will now automatically adjust based on browser size. If you’re using a theme like Focal Point that depends heavily on GPP Slideshow, this update is imperative.

Build Fluid Responsive Grid Layouts

The GPP Shortcodes plugin allows you to easily create fluid, responsive column layouts and add boxes and buttons to your Posts and Pages without modifying CSS, HTML or PHP.

Everyone Loves a Discount
