Minimalist, yet functional :
Based on the Underscores framework, made by Automattic (the company behind WordPress), RedWaves is a minimalist and lightweight theme. Every piece of code included in the theme is hand written and every feature is manually implemented to keep this theme un-bloated and bug-free.
Easy-to-use:
When we created the “RedWaves theme” we had the idea of a very beginner friendly theme in mind. Even a true beginner does not need a start up guide to use RedWaves.
Highly Customizable:
RedWaves is a highly customizable theme. From the Customizer, you have a lot of convenient customization options to play with. From choosing the main color, switching to left sidebar / right sidebar / full layout, setting the background color / image… etc.

Dear Team,

Hi Tony, glad you liked our theme!

Regards 🙂
besides,why this theme can’t support IE,are you update it still now?
thank you so much!
RedWaves lite does support IE but we didn’t test it on IE 8 or earlier. If you found some issues with RedWaves lite on IE 9 or newer versions please report them in our forum ( Bug Report section ).
Please note IE is not maintained anymore ( it was replaced by Microsoft Edge codename Spartan in Windows 10 ) and only very few people still using IE especially old versions. So if you are getting a lot of hits from IE users, most likely your Analyticts data has been screwed by spam referrals ( they use the IE API to fake your data ).
Hi, great theme but how to change font types, size and other font options?
Hi sitara! you will have to edit the style.css & functions.php files. Post your issue in our forum https://forum.themient.com and I will give you step-by-step instructions.
hi，dear，HOW TO ADD THE HIT TIMES?
Do you mean the Post views counter? This feature is available in the premium version of RedWaves (will be released soon!)
If you want to implement it in the free version of RedWaves, you will need to know how to code in PHP. Also you will need CSS to style the output.
I am really sorry but I cant help you with this. This is out of our scope.
I love this theme and wait for premium version but I want to know changing from free version to paid version will be affect my site?
Thanks for using RedWaves lite!
Unfortunately Yes, because RedWaves & RedWaves lite are a total different themes you will need to assign menus, upload logo, assign widgets and customize the theme a little bit from the Options Panel.
Hi team,
Thank you for your template “RedWaves”. I love it, but it seems that it won’t show the navigation menu dropdown on mobile. What shall I do? Thank you.
hi, thanks for using our theme!
Please post your issue in our support forum forum.themient.com and provide your website URL if possible. You should get a response as soon as possible.

Hi Delia, thanks for passing by!
The admin bar does not appear by default for logged out users or guests. So I am pretty sure this is caused by one of your activated plugins. Because the admin bar (also called Toolbar) could be turned on or off for all users or specific users. My advice to you is to deactivate all your active plugins and start activating them again, one by one, until you find which plugin was causing this issue.
For further support, please consult our Support Forum: https://forum.themient.com/
thanks for theme i hope always updated and always free 🙂
hi denny, thanks for your feedback! We will do our best to keep supporting RedWaves lite ( and all other themes ) with updates free of charge 🙂
Thank you so much for this theme. Just downloaded it and want to find out if your have categories as one of the side bar widget as it was not listed on your site,
Hi Vivian, Categories is a default WP widget, so it will always appear within your Widgets even when you switch to another theme.
Thank you for your response. Seen it!
I want to make my posts appear on two columns like this – http://kellyins.net/.
Also I do not want the date to show on my post.
How do I do this?

Is this theme supported to blogger ?
Hi, blogger? Do you mean the blogging platform owned by Google? No this is a WordPress theme and it’s not compatible with Blogger.
I’m a great fan redwave theme and using it for three of my blogs, which is easy for customization, secure, responsive and much more +ve.
Thanks for your great feedback!
Hey dear,
Could you please let me know which all Files you have modified in last 2 updates. I need to know because, before this update, I have personally did tons of modification in this theme to appear according to my choice. So, I want to know. Please help me. From next time, I’ll make sure to create a Child Theme. (I admit it’s mistake that I forget)
2.1.1 – July 10 2016
2.1.0 – July 06 2016
I’m huge fan of this them, please keep updating
Thanks a lot.
Regards.
Hi PK, well you should start using a child theme as soon as possible!
Fortunately, the only change I’ve made in version 2.1.1 is adding a CSS rule in “style.css” file:
#navigation .mobile-menu ul {
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
}
But in version 2.1.0 I have updated the mobile menu code to use a better off-canvas menu. Affected files by this update are: style.css, footer.php, header.php, customizer.php. So if you didn’t made changes to header.php & footer.php, it will be easy to update to latest version.
Note: A new version (v2.1.2) is out now but only header.php is affected by this update.
Thanks a million for your awesome Theme, love it!
Regards! God Bless You 🙂
Thanks for your valuable feedback!
Much appreciated 🙂
