What’s new in OpenHub 1.9

What it does
Building an event site from a general-purpose theme often means piecing together pages for sessions, speakers and contact details on your own. This theme is designed around that job from the start. It suits a large conference, a corporate seminar or a portfolio site, and its layout is responsive and retina ready, so pages display clearly on desktops, tablets and phones. A one-click importer loads the demo data, giving you a working starting point to edit instead of a blank site.
Most settings live in a Redux Framework theme-options panel, where you control the header, footer, blog, portfolio and shop areas. You can pick from multiple header variants, unlimited colors and skins, and more than 600 Google Fonts plus font icons. Custom widgets cover portfolios, social media feeds and event information, and an Ajax contact form sends messages without reloading the page. The theme is compatible with WPML for multilingual sites and BuddyPress for community features, and it includes built-in Google Analytics.
Best for
- Conference and summit organizers
