Since the release of Nominate it has undergone a whole series of new feature additions making it even more powerful and social.
The features have mostly been designed based upon customers feedback. When I first made Nominate it was built purely for my own requirements and, whilst it was perfect for me, it didn’t do everything that people expected. With this first update, I think it gets much closer to the requirements of most users.
Besides bug fixes the major new features added are:
- Added list of users, with avatars, who have voted for each article
- Added Most Popular template (required WordPress 3.0)
- Added Option to publish posts straight/ always moderate/ use spam checking
- Added ability to use Facebook Connect plugins on the login overlay.
- Added new black and orange colour scheme
- Added option to change button text on “submit article” button widget. Now you can allow people to submit anything you like.
- Added Option to disable URL submission in submit content form (hides website thumbnails as well)
- Added ability to adjust number of votes required for a featured post.
- Added option to disable categories in article submissions
- Added option to disable tags in article submissions
- Added option to show & hide website thumbnails
- Added target=_blank on website preview link in admin
- Added a link in new post notification emails so that you can moderate newly submitted posts more easily

These are great additions! I previously bought the nominate theme and I’m already using on my blog. How do I get these additional features?
Hi – the new features are in the accounts control panel, so just log in and download the theme as normal.
Also there are some more new features coming soon, and they make Nominate even more powerful!
Love Nominate, but need the ability to customize the colors to my company…please.
Hi Jason – really glad you like Nominate!
In answer to your request, I am afraid we don’t offer support for customising themes, however I have written tutorial here on how to make the changes yourself. Hopefully that will help get you started in making the theme look the way you want it to.
Thanks. I just saw the updated versions in my account. Looks great. Just wondering, what is “top this month” and “top this year” based on? Is it based on number of views, number of votes or both?
It’s based purely upon the number of votes received.
Alright thanks!!
