ThemeFuse LifeStyle Theme Options

The LifeStyle Theme Options Panel includes five pages:

FuseFramework
Testimonials
Newsletter
Shortcode Generator
Support

The FuseFramework, the core part of the theme options, serves seven horizontal tabs:

General
Posts
Top
Bottom
Footer
Advertising
SEO

The Testimonials page is where you add and maintain your testimonials, which are in fact a custom post type. For each testimonial, you can add a Name, Website Name and URL, a text and one or more images.

The Newsletter page lists the e-mail addresses of the people who have subscribed through the LifeStyle Newsletter widget.

Generating shortcodes on the Shortcode Generator page is a two step process. First you select one of the sixty+ shortcodes from the drop down menu. Depending of your selection you will be presented several fields that help you to tweak your shortcode.

The LifeStyle theme comes with one color scheme; a white and black theme, supported with plenty of colorful details. In case you want to adjust the default color scheme, a child-theme folder with the necessary files is already packed with this theme.

Although the theme does not support WordPress’ Featured Image by default, it does offer a comparable solution with its custom Post Media feature and Thumbnail Post Options.

The stated price of $49 is for the Standard pack of the theme that comes with a single site license – for one domain. With the Developer pack for $79, you are allowed to use the theme on an unlimited number of domains, and you get access to the layered PSD files of the theme. Both licenses entitle you to theme updates and support on the forum.

Next to obtaining a license for a single theme, ThemeFuse also offers a Club Membership. For a one-time sign-up fee of $199 and $17 per month, you get access to all existing and future themes, the layered PSD files of the themes, and you are allowed to use the themes on an unlimited number of websites. Theme updates and forum support are included with the Club Membership too, of course.
