Atahualpa 3.6.0 released
Wordpress.org has changed the submission process for themes and also added quite a list of new requirements. Also, themes aren’t reviewed by Automattic employees anymore but by volunteers, i.e. theme and plugin authors.
This has various implications, one being that providing backwards compatibility with older WP versions has become an impossible task because the sheer existence of some older functions (pre WP3) will trigger an alert of the automated submission script at Wordpress.org and the theme will be denied automatically. So from now on Atahualpa will be ready for the current and the past WP version, but not for older WP versions. Wordpress clearly does not want theme authors to provide too much backwards compatibility and rather see people upgrading to the new WP version all the time. Consequently this 3.6 version has some old code removed and will very likely break with anything older than WP 3.0! So don’t use Atahualpa 3.6 if your WP version is older than 3.0! One rather big change in 3.6 is that the PHP eval function that was used for custom code inserts (all the text areas in the Atahualpa admin where you can put PHP code) is now replaced by PHP stream wrappers. (”Eval” is also not allowed anymore).

FYI if this info might help you pinpoint troubles:
I ignored the advice to stay away from 3.6 and installed it on aghca.org. I did install the css.php and header.php bug fixes. Everything seems fine, even for the favicon, in Safari on a Macbook Air. The icon shows up where it should. However, in Chrome, which is my favorite browser, the favicon shows up in the tab but not in the URL field. I don't see any other problems. aghca.org is running WP 3.0.4 and is hosted at hostgator.com. |
