Photonic, Suffusion and Other Premium-for-Free Projects
In the recent past I have received a few complaints about missing translation strings in the suffusion.po file. I used to use the online translation tool provided by ICanLocalize (I know they are connected to WPML, but I don’t know if the folks who wrote WPML are the same as those who own ICanLocalize). But […]
WordPress recently introduced a new review system at WordPress.org. Under this system you can write a review for any theme or plugin and it gets attached to the theme or plugin page. Earlier the only way to put in a review was to comment on the support forum at WordPress.org. If you have liked my […]
Normally I am quick to announce landmarks such as 300 theme ratings, however in recent weeks I have had very little time to devote to Suffusion development. So here is a belated announcement: Suffusion now has 300 ratings on the WordPress.org website! This is a huge achievement since there is only one theme that has […]
Nope, this is not the responsive release. This version has the following updates: The shortcodes bundled with the theme had stopped working, requiring the users to explicitly add the “Suffusion Shortcodes” plugin. I have corrected the issue in the theme. Three updates had been requested by Drake, and since I owe him a huge debt […]
Version 4.3.2 of Suffusion is now available for download. This version has the following changes: There was a minor issue in the magazine layout, which caused the text to overflow the headline box if the browser window was resized. I have addressed this. There was a discussion on the WP Theme Reviewers’ List a couple […]
Version 4.3.2 of Suffusion has been on a painfully slow “go-live” process. While the plugin was approved about 5 days back, it hasn’t been made live yet, meaning you cannot use it for at least a few more days. In the meanwhile my request for a new plugin, “Suffusion Shortcodes” got approved. As mentioned earlier, […]
I managed to track down the oddest bug I have seen in code in a long time when I worked to release version 1.25 of Photonic. After the last release quite a few users noticed that the 500px.com module had stopped working. This was particularly surprising to me because I could see 500px.com working perfectly […]
Version 4.3.2 of Suffusion has been approved, but it hasn’t gone live yet. While I wait for that to happen, I would like to post a few updates regarding what’s been cooking on Aquoid. Along with the development of 4.3.2, I worked on a plugin called “Suffusion Shortcodes”. This plugin unshackles shortcodes from the theme, […]
Version 4.3.1 of Suffusion went live earlier today. This version has the following changes: I fixed a minor issue in the default background colours for the Photonique and the Minima – in one iteration they had been erroneously set to dark gray instead of black and white respectively. I changed the calls for get_the_author_meta(‘display_name’) to […]
I released version 1.24 of Photonic a while back. This version has the following changes: Date filtering support for 500px.com: This is thanks to code contributed by Bart Kuipers. You can add “Date from” and “Date to” fields for your 500px.com photos. I also removed the JQuery Dimensions script from the plugin – this was […]
