Live Theme has been officially released into the wild!
The 8BIT Team has been working on this for the last 2 months (first codebase check-in was September 9th) and have been pulling a few all-nighters to get it out!
And it’s here. We’re excited because this fulfills a much-needed space within not only the larger ecosystem of WordPress Themes but as a very particular need for the Church:
A number of ministries and non-profits have asked our team repeatedly for help with Online Campuses, Online Ministries, and Online Church and Internet Church themes and software.
We saw this as an amazing opportunity to serve the Church by creating something uniquely designed for her (although it’s use and application will be much more widespread), and we couldn’t be more excited.
The world is changing, especially as it relates to the use of web technology to communicate messages. The Church should be at the forefront of that renaissance and we’re humbled to even be a part of it.

Congrats! Looks sweet!
I will admit I overly excited with the “Download the new iPad app” screenshot thinking that this was a combined announcement of something else…
John Saddington says

Congrats guys! Seeing as how it went down at Catalyst, this is going to work out great.
Phill Tran says
Looks great!
How many domains does “Concurrent domain use” cover? We have several campuses.
John Saddington says
all campuses!
Phill Tran says
Awesomeness!
The price is definitely worth the saved development time.

herbhalstead says
thanks 🙂 I wish you much success!
brett barner says
I think you mean “Live Theme”, not “Standard Theme” at the end of the first paragraph. Maybe I’m wrong, and confused. I’m still checking the app store for that iPad app… 🙂
Kyle Reed says
Great job guys.
Once again, taking over the internets
dewde says
Well… these Internets aren’t going to take over themselves!

Chris Loach says
Looks pretty sweet! Excited to see a lot come from this!
Mark says
What are you building those videos with? i.e. what applications?
John Saddington says
you can use anything you’d like actually. just embed the code of a video streaming provider.
Andre' Barnes says
Hey John, I have implemented the Live Theme. However, in the admin section I did not see where I enter in my twitter and facebook live feed/stream next to the video place holder
John Saddington says
widgets.
Andre Barnes says
Hey John, thanks for the response. I think that I might have found one bug with the Photostream feature. We have a Flickr Pro account and for some reason when I added our username, it would not show our Flickr Photos. I thought maybe I had our photos set to private but that was not the case. So, I looked for our Flickr ID and hard coded it and it works fine now. Just a heads up.
John Saddington says
thanks! will check this out!
herbhalstead says
tried it out today, worked flawessly… and the tech guy like it a lot. I noticed on the website that there is a 10-pak of backgrounds – where is it located?
dewde says
I’ll send them to you.
peace | dewde
Stefan Tribble says
Can you also send those background to me as well. Want to mix it up a little bit. Also, I noticed that once my countdown hit zero it faded to the video feed but when i tried to go to the website on another computer during the live event it showed the countdown. I had to got set the countdown to an hour prior to get the video to work properly. Any ideas?
dewde says
Stefan:
You got it. Also, will look into that.

Mike McDermott says
Could you send me the link to the 10 backgrounds? I found it once but I have not been able to find it lately… Thanks!

Jimmy King says
I’ve been looking forward to this. I’ll definitely be using it when we launch our streaming service publicly.
dewde says
Make sure to let us know so we can check it out!
