City Guide is our sixth Directory child theme (Yay)! Unlike the previous two we’ve released (Travel and Cuisine) this one isn’t focused on a particular niche or market segment. Instead, the primary role of City Guide is just to provide another new look for Directory. Design changes in the City Guide theme The most obvious changes are definitely those to the homepage. City Guide features a boxy design with a clearly outlined container. Another significant change is the inclusion of two widget areas between the slider and Main Content area. On our demo the left area displays the Homepage Display Posts widget while the right one displays the Slider. My favorite changes in City Guide theme are those done to “List View” listings inside the homepage and category pages. A dotted line clearly separates custom fields from the rest of the content. Newly added custom fields will also be grouped on that right side. Just like with previous child themes, the listing detail page also received a big overhaul. City Guide is the first Directory variant without the detail page tabs. Instead of using tabs, stuff like videos and events will appear below the main listing content.

What kind of child theme would you like to see? Even though our forums are booming with great ideas about new Directory add-ons and features (thank you for that, seriously), child theme suggestions are pretty rare.
