Possible bug in v3.4.1 with template footer text

  • Just upgraded to WordPress 3.4.1 (from 3.4) on my development system this morning.
    I’m developing a template for a client and all of a sudden, the text in the footer won’t change. After a bit of hunting, I found the text in the ha_options table of the database. It wasn’t being updated when i uploaded the modified template.
    Yesterday with 3.4 this was working fine.
    I’ve got round the problem by manually deleting the content, but others may not want/be able to do this

  • There is no ha_options table in WordPress core, so I can only assume that this is a theme issue.

    ha_ is the prefix I’ve given to the WordPress tables – so it’s the wp_options table in a standard WP instalation

    It’s still a theme specific option. Most themes do not store any site text/content in the database.

    I don’t think so – it was working fine yesterday with the previous version of WordPress.

    I’ve got to do a clean install soon – I’ll try the previous version again and confirm that it is working and that it’s failed in the latest

    I can assure you that this is a theme issue.

    OK – further investigation with the theme I’ve created

    Under Theme options, there’s an area for footer content. Putting text in here does what I’ve been trying to do. This doesn’t – however – explain why, when I changed the text in Artisteer and uploaded the theme, the previous version of WordPress updated that text and the current version doesn’t

    I don’t have time at the moment to install another Wrodpress blog using the previous version on WordPress to test this, but when time permits (perhaps next month) I’ll have another look at it
