Atlantica is a Premium Blog & Portfolio Theme for WordPress. Based on our new Super Skeleton 2 Framework; Over 3 months in the making, we’ve re-coded our entire “Super Skeleton” framework from the ground up to leverage the best, cleanest, fastest features that WordPress has to offer.
Quite simply, this is the best, easiest, most flexible theme that we have ever created (and we’ve been doing this for 5 years)... and it’s the foundation for what we truly believe will be some amazing websites by you guys & gals!
To celebrate our new Super Skeleton 2 Framework, we’re unrolling a brand new theme options panel that’s unlike anything we’ve released to date. Gone are the cumbersome, complex options of the past – The new SS2 theme panel features simple visual cues, nested inline documentation, and the option to preload one of our hand-crafted skins, or build your own using our professional Skin Builder.
The entire Google Fonts library is embedded as well… you can even preview the fonts LIVE in the admin panel before selecting them.
Also gone are the 20+ page templates that we used to use. Why? Because with the new Drag & Drop Layout Builder, you won’t need them anymore… a veritable world of possibilities is at your fingertips with just ONE template. No more memorizing which template does what… What you see is, literally, what you get.
That’s all fine and well… but what we’re really geeked out about is that it’s all based on rock solid, compliant SEO friendly code that passes every “WordPress Theme Review” test that we could throw at it. Atlantica allows you to fully unleash the new WordPress 3.6 Post Formats UI, which is a ThemeForest first!

We’ve pre-packaged lots of goodies into our theme so you don’t have to. Note that all of these deserve the full credit for their own plugins/features/etc. – we’ve done the work integrating these awesome tools into our theme – they actually built the tools though. Here’s the list:
A Note on GPL/GNU: I’m personally a huge fan of GPL and as we’ve included some outstanding resources in our theme because of GPL, it’s only natural that I should want to extend the same privilege to other fine folks!
As far as we’re concerned, we’d like the use of this theme to be in full accordance with the GPL. What prevents us from doing so officially is the stipulation about plugin inclusion… In short, what isn’t GPL are the premium plugins that we’ve included (JackBox, Revolution Slider, Advanced Scroller, etc.). We can’t speak for those software makers, so if you want to use this theme in a GPL manner, you’ll need to remove those plugins or contact the authors for permission to do so.
I’ll very seriously consider releasing a fully open, stripped down, standalone version of this theme for that reason… but frankly, those premium plugins bring a lot to the table in terms of premium functionality, so it’s going to be a tough call. Just know that it’s ultimately our goal to release in accordance with GPL within the next couple of months, so we’ll hopefully be finding open source alternatives to any premium plugins so we can do so. If you have any leads on this sort of thing, let us know!
If you’re a fellow developer or designer and you would like to do something cool with our theme – go ahead and do so! Just keep in mind my note about the premium plugins (you can’t use them without the permission of their respective authors). Once you’ve done that, you are free to do anything with this theme that GPL might allow as far as I am concerned. If you have any questions, feel free to ping me at http://makedesign.ticksy.com with any questions. In regards to the official ThemeForest rules, check out this page.
