Upgrading Old Themes

    I’ve just spent the last 45 minutes browsing messages I obtained by running a search on “upgrade theme”.

    Informative and helpful, but isn’t there some way of putting all of the scattered information together–some kind of table of common “old code” that needs to be deleted and “new code” that needs to be added?

    The theme I use at https://www.jerrypettit.com/blog is a “1.5 compatible” theme and I’d like to upgrade it to allow widgets and other 2.X options. I’m running 2.2.1.

    Any advice?

  • It’s simple: > Template_Tags – wherever you see “deprecated”… replace it in your template files with the new ones (2.1 or later).

    Widgetizing:

    I’m running 2.2.1.

    you want advice? Youre worrying about the wrong thing. Give it a few days, and you can join the friendfest over inside all the “ive been hacked” threads.

    Its so pathetically easy to get the admin password out of that version if it were NOT for the fact that I would undoubtedly be banned from these forums, and well, I am at work.. I would show you how easy. Trust me, youre playing with fire though and you REALLY need to consider upgrading..

    Thanks, whooami.

    I didn’t realize that my version still had those security issues. I’ll upgrade right away.
