IgnitionDeck 1.2 just might be the biggest and best release yet. We’ve packed in a ton of new features, including the new Deck Builder, re-designed skins, and the long-awaited grid shortcode, while continuing to patch bugs and optimize the codebase. On top of that, we’ve released several new hooks and filters that can be used…
Today we’re pleased to announce the release of the grid shortcode, a feature that allows you to dynamically display a list of projects in grid format without requiring the use of Theme 500. Using it is simple. Simply create a shortcode using the following format: [project_grid] By default, the grid shortcode will automatically display every…
When we built IgnitionDeck, we wanted to ensure that it would work with every WordPress theme out of the box, which is why we opted for the shortcode system instead of confusing page templates or requiring a declaration of IgnitionDeck support within the theme functions file.

And while we’ve made significant progress on some fronts, the one that has always trailed behind is the way in which our plugins and themes are updated from version to version. Well today we…
Stripe payments is by far the most popular add-on payment gateways for IgnitionDeck, and for good reason. Their API is fantastic, they have great support, and their application process is by far the simplest of the payment processors we’ve worked with. The issue of course is that most of our customers never get to experience…

If you’ve looked through the official release notes for IgnitionDeck 1.1, you’ll notice that from a feature standpoint, the new additions are rather light. But you’ll also notice that 1.1 lists more changes than any version we’ve released in our history. So what gives? In order to break down these change notes, and share improvements…
