We’re always looking to improve, so we’ve added some more features to our Themify Updater plugin, some of which have been highly requested. The new features will allow you to keep your Themify username private, disable those pesky notification symbols on the admin dashboard, and easily reinstall your themes and plugins using the Themes/Plugins tab.
We’re excited to announce that the Themify Builder 4.5 has officially launched! Our entire Builder has basically been recoded to now use Javascript, so everyone will now experience a new lightning fast Builder! Thank you for all of your feedback on the beta version of the Builder and for your support. We’ve been able to incorporate your recommendations and polish our latest update to a high shine. We’ve even added some new additions to this update, not yet seen on the Beta version – you can see these new features and more below!
Please update your theme to the latest version, with the Themify Updater plugin, to start using the new and improved Builder. If you're new to Themify or need to renew your membership, read more for details about our most popular Master Club!

We recently announced the release of the Builder 4.5 Beta Version, and now we've got the Builder Plugin 4.5 Beta as a standalone plugin for you all! (This beta version of our new Builder plugin is only for use on non-Themify themes. If you'd like to test out the Builder 4.5 Beta on a Themify theme, please follow the guide in the original Beta pre-release announcement).
In this latest version, we basically re-coded the entire Builder core to now use Javascript for a better and faster user experience. Along with these performance enhancements, we've added many new and exciting Builder features! We've left the full details on our original announcement so you can read that there. Continue below for a brief roundup and a friendly disclaimer before you install the Builder Plugin Beta!
We’ve added a small but mighty option for you all. Now when you import a skin, also known as a demo site, there will be an option available to import all of the images as well. In the previous version, all demo images were replaced with a placeholder image due to concerns about image copyrights. However, one of our designers lovingly combed through each and every theme, ensuring each image would be available for our users.
Now, when you import a demo, you can click the checkbox 'Include all demo images', and you will have an identical site, complete with all of the free stock images we’ve chosen. Don't forget to update your themes to the latest version to take advantage of this awesome option.
After a few months of silent and hard work behind-the-scenes, we are proud to announce the pre-release of Builder V4.5! We basically re-coded the entire Builder core to now use Javascript for a better and faster user experience when it comes to loading the module options and styling.
Along with these performance enhancements, we've added a few new modules and many new and exciting Builder features! If you want a sneak peek at the latest version of the Builder and framework, try out our beta version of Builder V4.5. Read on for details and a friendly disclaimer.
