Reinventing the Anime Sites
As part of the natural evolution of our themes, now we bring a new option to enter the world of anime mixing the best of two of our previous products: INGMAR and ANIMAG. The result is ANIMACE, a template made with Bootstrap and ACF designed to publish news, reviews and catalog anime series and movies (although it is also possible to do it with series and movies from the cinematographic world, or popular streaming services).
With ANIMACE (the ending with the word “ACE” is a reference to Japanese manga and anime magazines) you get a complete and easy-to-use theme, which includes custom fields to fill in the information, scores for users and editors, color selectors, predesigned prebuilt modules, AJAX live search and a dark mode ideal for mobile devices. Being created with Bootstrap, it is fully responsive and maintains the “App” aesthetic. It is also compatible with WPML and RTL and includes a Child Theme for advanced users, willing to elevate their imagination with more functionalities.
Updating
READ CAREFULLY: as with all the WP projects, is highly recommended you have a staging site and a production site. First, update the theme in your stage site and check everything goes fine. Then repeat it on the production site. If you have previously done personal changes such as new ACF fields or customizations, contact us before doing any update of the theme, because ACF is the core of the template. Contact us for any questions.
