Photonic, Suffusion and Other Premium-for-Free Projects
In the past few weeks there has been a fair bit of buzz around General Data Protection Regulation a.k.a. GDPR, an EU law on data protection and privacy. In my day job as a consultant I am quite familiar with GDPR, but what took me by surprise was a question on the support forum asking […]
I have stopped working on Suffusion (and supporting it in any form) after it was pulled from the WordPress repository. However, there were several requests for the code to be made available for download. I have finally put up a version at GitHub. There are two folders available there: code – Contains the raw code […]
On 22nd June, Suffusion was removed from the WP themes directory all of a sudden. Someone decided that a theme whose last version was released and approved 5 months back and whose users had been generally happy did not meet requirements, and yanked the theme. My response to the comment was simple: However, given that […]
I have updated Photonic to version 1.46. The main fix this version was to accommodate the change in the URL structure for 500px photos. It has been about a year and a half since I last updated Suffusion or responded to forum questions. Three main factors contributed to this: Workload – Ever since I got […]
This is a day I had been dreaming of for a while. Eventually a few minutes past 7:30AM Central Time today, Suffusion hit a lifetime download mark of 1,000,000. Yup. One million downloads. Thanks to all of you for helping Suffusion get so far, right about the time of its fourth birthday! I also wanted […]
It seems like one rather nasty bug slipped through the cracks in 4.4.0. These are the symptoms: when you upgrade, you might suddenly start seeing your images stretched to the full width of your post, not respecting any custom width that you have specified for them. The fix is very easy: Open style.css. You can […]
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 […]
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, […]
As I sit alone in a large house with no furniture save a sleeping bag, a couple of suitcases and an internet modem, Suffusion is celebrating its third birthday. These have been 3 long years of toil and happiness, and I have all of you to thank for its success. During this year Suffusion has […]
