Shutting Down the Aquoid Support Forum

This post essentially marks the end-of-life of support for Suffusion from this website. The Aquoid Support Forum was the one-stop-shop for Suffusion support as well as for support provided for other plugins I have built over the years. However it was beset by problems, primary among them being the insanely high number of spammers who […]

Photonic Version 2.17 – Zenfolio Smart Names and No Titles

Happy New Year! On my second day back from my break I have been able to release version 2.17 of Photonic. This version has the following bug fixes: Zenfolio photosets with “smart” names were not being pulled up correctly. E.g. If you had a photoset that had an id such as “birthday”, that wouldn’t show. […]

Version 2.15 – Shortcode Generator Enhancements

In the middle of the holidays I managed to quickly code up some improvements to Photonic. This release has the following changes: I added a “filter” capability in the interactive workflow to generate shortcodes. Particularly in cases where you have way too many albums, the filter will let you rapidly narrow your search results. I […]

Photonic Version 2.13 – Minor Fixes

The last few days have been interesting. Ever since WP 5.0 has released, I have watched, bemusedly, as the ratings for Gutenberg plummeted at unimaginable speeds – before the release of WP 5.0 the plugin had around 960 single-star ratings, but once the new version landed, this number shot up to 1120+. It managed twice […]

Photonic Version 2.12 – Magnific and More Lightbox Capabilities

If you haven’t heard, WP 5.0 featuring Gutenberg is here. If you haven’t had a chance to form your opinion about it, do ensure that you download a copy of the “Classic Editor” plugin to recover from any shock caused by Gutenberg. Displaying behaviour that has been symptomatic of Gutenberg all along, I will move […]

Photonic Version 2.11 – JavaScript Optimization and Bug Fixes

I have released version 2.11 of Photonic with the following changes: JavaScript Optimization When Photonic started out in September 2011 it only had support for two lightboxes – Colorbox and Fancybox. About a month later I added support for PrettyPhoto, and then for a long period of time I didn’t add anything else. About 4 […]

Photonic Version 2.10 – Gutenberg Support

WordPress 5.0 is on the horizon, and nothing in WP history has faced as much backlash as the inclusion of Gutenberg in WP 5.0 core. While the powers that be in the core development team portray Gutenberg as the light at the end of the tunnel, an overwhelming number of developers and users are of […]
