Being with WP for a while, but I always have to say WOW when some people show me a unique way to use this awesome framework
I really like the Ipseity design as shown here, but when I download it I get another design. The shown design here is probably an older version.
Does anyone know how I can get hold of the Ipseity design shown on this page?
@Bianca! Thank you so much for pointing out that the download link for the Ipseity theme doesn’t work. We have found another download page at http://www.wordpressthemesbook.com/ipseity/ .
The “Impress” theme is original and yes… impressive
