Suffusion Version 4.3.1

Posted on September 4, 2012
Categories Theme Releases

Version 4.3.1 of Suffusion went live earlier today. This version has the following changes:

  1. 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.
  2. I changed the calls for get_the_author_meta('display_name') to get_the_author for better compatibility with some plugins

I am aware of a layout bug in the post edit screen – I will fix that in the next version.

    Just curious – is changing from get_the_author_meta(‘display_name’) to get_the_author the same as now calling login username?

    I go to some tiny trouble to prevent username enumeration including blocking author pages altogether, as WP Core displays them as /author/loginname rather than /author/displayname. I wish they’d make use of the meta they actually code.

    My tweaks are htaccess so not affected by theme functions or plugin calls.

    Thanks for your continuing contribution to the amazingly large Suffusion community you’ve built.

      No, it isn’t. It is essentially the same function but something that runs a different set of filters. You will still see the display name of the user.

      There is a very solid reason to leave things the way they are. If you have multiple users on the site and two or more of them use the same display name, you will run into issues if you try to provide URLs by display name. A login on the other hand is unique – the system will not let you create a login identical to another.

    Seems that updating to Suffuison 4.3.1 just now seriously wrecked my site (?) My admin page says
    “Fatal error: Call to a member function display() on a non-object in /customers/4/7/2/ginishi.dk/httpd.www/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-upgrader.php on line 1385”

    I have also updated to WP 3.4.2 – worked as expected,

    I am stuck. Please help.
