New UI, Same Wordpress!
As many of you know who are either Wordpress fans or users, the latest Wordpress is released. Another complete redesign on there UI with a lot of plugins that many people use built in. One problem is that many users still can’t upgrade such as I to the new version until they have been able to get there current Wordpress theme working with the new templates as well as keeping it backward compatible.
Now I have said that I was close to completing my theme, but with the new release now out people who want to use my theme will probably want to be able put on the latest Wordpress that has just released.
Why?
Well for one, every wordpress release has some sort of a security update and people like to stay secure but they don’t like to change there themes that often so having a theme that will constantly work no matter what version they are on is important to the user.
What has changed in the template files?
Not very much but if the code in your templates do not match to the new wordpress coding, you will find that your blog will die and not display everything correctly or not function at all.
So when are you releasing your theme?
Well for people who still want to use versions of Wordpress under 2.7 I will release it in early January hopefully and then by late Febuary, a version for 2.7 and up will be released.
What does that mean for your built-in plugins that you have put into your theme?
It will mean having to test which plugins work and don’t for 2.7 and up and also see which plugins don’t need to included in my theme because Wordpress already has them built in there new code.
Will your theme be easily customizable?
At the moment you will only be able to change the colours, font, background image and the header of theme to something that would suit you. Being able to swith style sheets like K2 theme is not possible at this moment in time but that does not mean I haven’t looked into it.
Can we see a glimpse of the theme?
Very soon, maybe on Christmas Day.
