add spam protection to the contact form
the contact form needs a captcha or some other form of simple spam protection - I had to remove the contact form as only 1 in probably 100 messages was genuine, and it was flooding my inbox
266 votesCurrently only Canvas 5.2.1 has CAPTCHA in the contact form template.
We are looking into adding this into our other themes if it works well in Canvas.
If you are receiving spam from the contact form, and you are not using Canvas, then we suggest using a 3rd party plugin like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/contact-form-7/ or http://www.gravityforms.com/

Add caption support to woo_image
With all of the news/magazine themes WooThemes develops you'd think there would be support for pairing captions with those images. As far as I can tell, there isn't any way to do this out of the box.

apple-touch-icon.png Support (Apple iOS 'favicon')
Add support to upload an apple-touch-icon.png and insert the required code so the iOS version of a 'favicon' is utilized instead of requiring header.php edit and separate icon upload.
34 votesI like the idea, I’ll put it under review and suggest it in our talks about mobile sites. :)

Make prettyPhoto lightbox work with wordpress > 3.5 gallery
When you activate PrettyPhoto lighbox script under "Dynamic Images > Thumbnail Settings" it does not work on WP 3.5 image galleries. It would be great if you could fix that, otherwise one needs to install an additional lightbox scripts which bloats up the website.

Improve the WooFramework to be more child-theme friendly
I would really like to improve the woo framework more child-theme friendly. My first Suggestion is to add a filter to the stylesheet reader function in theme-options.php, so that child theme developers could change the directory where woo framework is looking for it styles. While doing so, child-theme developers could stay to best practice and create a folder "styles" in the child-theme directory and creae their own set of styles which then be selectable via theme-option panel in the backend.
//Stylesheets Reader
$alt_stylesheet_path = get_template_directory() . '/styles/';In this way child themes authors should be able to hook in via…

Enable WooFramework to select your child-themes alternative colors in WooOptions
WooThemes recommend to use child-themes to customize themes. Most of your themes offer to select your themes alternative color scheme in Theme Options.
You could create your own /style folder with alternative colors in the child-themes directory, however WooFramework will not recognize your custom stylesheets.
I guess it should be pretty simple to code this kind of check it into the woo_output_alt_stylesheet function in functions/admin-setup.php
This would make child-themes even more reasonable! Thanks guys!

Pull through Disqus comments into Woo Tabs' "Comments" Tab
Hi guys,
I love the Woo Tabs in my sidebar, but the Comments section doesn't fetch any of the latest comments from Disqus. Is this possible? It works great with native WordPress comments, but I find Disqus better for engagement.
Thanks

Subscribe/Connect Widget with Multiple Styles
The standard Woo Social Media icons are pretty outdated looking... It would be awesome if we could choose from different style icons. I think a Subscribe/Connect widget with different styles would be a pretty awesome addition to WooDojo.
It would also be great if we had the option to disable the title, and could specify whether the icons should be floated left or right, etc..

Related Posts Shortcode Useable on Pages as well as Posts
I was trying to use the related posts short code on a clients site and found that this can only be done on posts and not currently pages.
I think it would be great if there was an option to use it on pages and choose either a tag to pull the related posts with or post category to pull the related posts from so that you can have a static page and then have this show related news feed information to the bottom.
I realise there are plugins that do this, but it would seem a great feature to…

Move "Reset All Theme Options"
I would love for "Reset" to be removed from Theme Options. It could be made available in the Woo submenu instead (where Theme Options, Framework Settings, etc. are). I had a client accidentally hit Reset this morning :-(

Add support for colorpicker (and other) field types in woothemes_metabox_create_fields
The woo_add_metaboxes allows you to add additional custom fields to post types. Unlike the general settings, there's no support for a colorpicker. (Or, for that matter, borders, fonts, and so on, all available now on the general settings when you extend those.) Since the code is already written in one part of the Framework, how about making it available in this other part of the Framework?

Custom Layout Manager (Like Sidebar and Menu Managers)
Could be a plugin like sidebars were abstracted from the framework. We could create any number of 1,2 and 3 column layouts all with varying widths.

Import and Export Theme Settings
I would like to be able to export theme settings into an XML format and then be able to import them into another site running the same WooTheme. I find i'm often developing themes on one server then installing the theme on another only to realize I forgot about the theme settings.

A setting in wooframework for fixing/sticking menu/header to top of page (a la bootstrap)
I recently read an article on integrating Canvas with bootstrap to get fixed top of page menus. I'd like the functionality in wooframework to select whether or not a menu/logo/header area is fixed to the top or a page (think zendesk, twitter, facebook sites).

Provide separate custom CSS fields for each responsive width threshold
Provide separate custom CSS fields for each responsive width threshold.
3 votesWe’re working on a bunch of css tweaks in 2.1 which includes making the default wc stylesheet responsive. You will be able to change the breakpoint via a filter.

Theme integration for Vbulletin or other forum softwares.
It would be great if WooThemes had a theme or extension that was able to integrate the header and footer into the forums we are hosting on the same site.
Even better would be able to login from the blog side of the site.
I feel like a large percentage of WooTheme users would be setting up communities these days especially with the addition of WooCommerce.
I would love to hear others thoughts.

Add an Accordian Shortcode
I would love to see the Woo shortcodes expanded- particularly with an accordion option. Pricing tables would also be excellent.
Thanks!

Have the shortcodes compatible with other themes
I am using another theme from two years, and i was using shortcodes on it. If i switch to Woothemes, there are some shortcodes that are equal so it will broke my old posts style. If the shortcodes of the theme had an unique woothemes names, they wont clash with other themes shortcodes so we can use both.
