Suffusion 3.8.2 Changes, Photo-blogging, Plugins etc.

Suffusion should be two years old early next month, and I have been working towards some nice but peripheral additions to the theme to get it ready for the next release. Suffusion, Quo Vadis? (Whither goest thou, Suffusion?) The main feature of the next release is going to be some new widgets: The “Category Posts” […]

Update on Version 3.7.9 – II

Folks, I have another update on Version 3.7.9 of Suffusion. Unfortunately it is not all good news. Bad News 1 The feature most looked forward to for this release was undoubtedly photo-blogging. Unfortunately I had to pull this to a large extent. The reason was that I have been quite busy on both, personal and […]

Another Update on WordPress 3.2

A note just came out on certain core changes for WP 3.2, which makes my job tougher. WP has updated its core JQuery version from 1.4.4 to 1.6.1 and the corresponding JQuery UI version from 1.8.7 to 1.8.12. This means that I now have to have yet another switch at the back-end to compare version […]

Announcement About WordPress 3.2

The first Beta version of WP 3.2 is out. Though this is more of an evolutionary release, as the release notes point out, there are some significant things you need to note: PHP 4.0 will no longer be an option. You need to have at least PHP 5.2.4 and MySQL 5.0. This makes me very […]

Update on Version 3.7.9

It has been almost 2 months since version 3.7.8, so I believe an update is due. I have been working on and off on building version 3.7.9 and I have so far made a bunch of changes already. The last few remain, but as it is said, the last 385 yards in a marathon are […]

200 and Counting

Pontification, philosophizing and detours are normally left for my personal blog, however let me do a bit of it all here. My favourite sport by a distance is Cricket. Like every other sport cricket defines its own set of landmarks that players can get to. For the uninitiated the two main categories in which you […]

Massive Forum Cleanup

In recent times the Suffusion forum, which is driven by phpBB, had been plagued with hordes of spammers. I initially thought people came, spammed, then left. But then I was alerted by a user that the spammers had infested the boards by creating lots and lots of dummy logins, and in effect my Captcha was […]

Inviting Your Opinions for Photo Blogging Support

And so I have finally decided to take the plunge. Actually it was more of a push rather than a voluntary plunge, when my brother asked me to take a look at his photo blog and help him fix a plugin that he wanted to use. That is when I realized that building photo blogging […]

Suffusion Version 3.7.4 Update 3: Beta Release 2 Available

Folks, thanks to all of you who gave Beta 1 a shot. Particular thanks to Marcel Bokhorst, Colin Spencer and 80486er for all your critical bug reports. Since Beta 1 didn’t throw up too many alarms, I am releasing Beta 2. Please download the file and follow the same instructions as in Beta 1. There […]

Suffusion Version 3.7.4 Update 2: Beta Release 1 Available

Finally, after months of effort I have been able to give reasonable shape to the first Beta release of version 3.7.4. Please excuse the weird numbering for this release – I was trying to come up with a numbering scheme that would enable some notification functionality. In my previous post I highlighted some of the […]
