Photonic, Suffusion and Other Premium-for-Free Projects
As the WordPress theme review process gets really strict about what WP functions are permissible in themes and what are not, it becomes more and more difficult for theme developers to support older versions of WordPress. Most developers have already taken the step to stop supporting anything older than version 3.0. I have always been […]
Update: This post has moved to a new location. In this post I highlight the short codes you get with Suffusion, in addition to providing an insight into how you can use short codes in general.
After a lot of delays and innumerable back-and-forth exchanges, a version of Suffusion has finally been approved – 3.6.3. This is essentially a combination of a large number of features and fixes, from release 3.5.8 through 3.6.3. If you look at the Change Log.txt file in the theme folder you will get an idea about […]
A disclaimer I would have posted this on WP’s official site if it allowed me to post, but since it doesn’t, I am publishing it on my own blog. This is meant as an appraisal of the new theme approval process on WordPress. On 9th June 2010 WordPress made an announcement that it was expanding […]

Sad, because it has one HUGE feature. BuddyPress Compatibility After quite […]
