WPArena Founded

Welcome, WordPress Lovers. Here is another addition of WParena.com to the WordPress community. The site has just launched with very few articles. I installed a default WordPress Theme and here is the first site logo.

WordPress Arena Theme Changed

After looking at the old theme on this site for over six months, I decided to add a little color. My thinking when choosing the original theme was to keep it as simple as possible—focusing more on the WordPress guides and less on the site’s design. Well, I just got tired of seeing all those friendly, colorful blogs I visited and decided to make a change. The theme is a premium one. I changed very little on it (just the color of the header and links). It is a specific theme to tweak and seems to work very well. Any thoughts or tweaks on the current theme are welcome.

New Look and Design For WPArena

After a few months of procrastination, WordPress Arena has finally got the theme update. Although I am not all that pleased with the new theme, I will continue tweaking it. The other significant change is what you can’t see: the new database running the WordPress site.

After a few years of WordPress updates and trying just about every plugin I thought looked cool, the site was running very slowly. Well, at least the WordPress dashboard was running slow, and not all options worked correctly within the dashboard. So I started to research how to optimize and clean up the database. When that hit a dead end, I decided to take a little more drastic action, use a fresh installation, and move the WordPress site to that.
So now everything is running much better, at least in the dashboard. Before the big game, I will try to do a post this weekend and explain how to get your old WordPress blog a new database and not lose anything in the process.

Moved to Genesis Framework

Finally, WPArena has been moved to Genesis Framework. I am very excited to see the user feedback.
So now, I will continue transforming the new theme into something unique that will hopefully become Genesis Best Child Theme. Funny how I can get a custom theme done for clients much faster than I can for myself… I may never finish!
If you don’t like anything or want to leave feedback, please don’t hesitate to contact us. It will help us improve the user experience and create a better WordPress site.
