Socrates 3.01 Officially Released
We’ve now released Version 3.01 and it’s available on the download page.
This is a major new update with new features, templates and functionality.
For existing users the biggest change will be in the Navigation menus. Our own custom Socrates menus are no longer supported.
You will need to setup WordPress 3.0 menus in Appearance > Menus if you are not already using them.
More details and instructional video will be posted shortly.

The biggest change in 3.0 is the removal of our navigation panel.
When we released Socrates we built our own navigation system to make it easy to setup navbars. However, over the last two years WordPress has improved their own menu system to the point that ours is no longer necessary. We know that many users loved our nav panel, but we felt this was a necessary change.
So most importantly, if you are currently using Socrates menus. They will no longer work once you install Soc 3.0.
Please make sure that you setup your menus in Appearance > Menus
Here’s a menu video tutorial until I can shoot one specifically for Socrates.
