Suffusion Version 2.6.1 was released on 10th November 2009. The key features in this release are: Customizable Widths I had recently made a release (2.5.4) where the overall page width could be set. I received several requests to make the individual components’ widths configurable, like the main column or the sidebar. So I built this […]
On 8th November 2009 I submitted a new version of Suffusion – 2.6.0. This version has two main updates: Tabbed Widgets You can now use Tabbed Widgets a.k.a. Tabbed Sidebar. This one was one of the more time-consuming features to implement – the amount of testing on different browsers was astronomical. In keeping with my […]
Version 2.5.6 of Suffusion should be out in a day or so. I know that the next version was supposed to be 2.5.5, but I had a coding inefficiency that I had to correct, so 2.5.6 it is. And now for a list of things I forgot: I forgot to edit the description in the […]
Suffusion Version 2.5.0 was released today and it can be downloaded from WordPress. The most prominent features of this release are: Featured Posts!! I have pulled together a “Featured Posts” capability using the jQuery-based s3Slider. I had to make some non-trivial changes to add a frame index at the bottom of the slider, but it […]
7 days after processing my previous update, WP finally approved my latest update, version 2.4.7 on 20th October. I had made submissions of 2.4.5, 2.4.6 and finally 2.4.7 before the last update was processed. The last three releases have brought forth some major changes: Nicer Excerpts – You can now do a lot more with […]
The Comments section in WordPress has served its utility as the forum for support issues. Effective today I am moving the support for Suffusion to a new phpBB-based forum. The forum is set up with the default theme and I intend to customize it over the next few months and have Suffusion for phpBB. Starting […]
Over the past few days I have received a lot of support from willing volunteers who translated Suffusion into different languages. I would like to thank each of you who did this: French – Wolforg. Given my familiarity with the basics of French, this is the first language to be officially included with the theme. […]
Recently an issue was brought to light by one of Suffusion’s users (Colin), where the NextGEN gallery widget wrecked the layout of the rest of the theme. I took a look at the issue and found a few things. As you are probably aware, I use Docking Boxes for some snazzy effects on the sidebar, […]
Over the past couple of months I have spent a lot of time adding new features and supporting users of Suffusion. I started with a single template and now the theme has morphed to something with a good set of options. Of course, it is not as comprehensive as Atahualpa (and I don’t want to […]
I made Suffusion translation-ready about a couple of weeks back and I have, since then, received a request for translation capability. As far as I know, getting translations costs money and unfortunately, since I provide both, this theme and its support for free, I don’t really have that essential ingredient. So I was wondering if […]
