Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

This is awful. I have a ton of custom php code in many ata installs. Looks like i won't be upgrading any time soon.

2. how am i supposed to customize the theme in the future? put my php directly into the index.php (or whatever) template?

YIKES! Same here ... does this even include such php as Wordpress's own references, such as this in the CSS INSERTS area:

HTML Code:
background: url('<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/bullets/round-gray.gif') no-repeat 0 7px;

Yes it does. You need to use full paths now.

Bummer. Not you guys, of course -- victims of the WordPress tightening like the rest of us. Just makes upgrades more difficult because of need to enter new directory names for URLs in the CSS Inserts.

Any reason the atahualpa directory under themes cannot retain the same name? E.G. ayahualpa.

It can retain that name but I like to give it a new name so I can always switch back to a previous version if I have problems. It creates a bit more work in upgrading but gives me peace of mind.

Makes sense, especially when a backstep is needed

However, on this whole issue I'm really discouraged. There is SO MUCH PHP in the theme's editable insert areas. Losing all this is a major setback for me as well as for the amazing customizability of Atahualpa. I have multiple templates and see no reasonable way to move beyond 3.6.4 without weeks of work (weeks I don't have). I know I'm whining, but it sure would be nice if there were a detailed to-do- list for this upgrade -- especially as to how if affects the now-defunct "Style & Edit CENTER COLUMN" where multpile <?php is in use.

An idea: Any chance this section could interpret shortcodes? And if so, y'all could park those items in [shortcodes], such as this default ata code: (???)

HTML Code:
<?php /* For MULTI post pages if activated at ATO -> Next/Previous Navigation: */ bfa_next_previous_page_links('Top'); ?> <?php if( is_category() AND function_exists('page2cat_output')) { page2cat_output($cat); } ?>
If not, where exactly in the templates would each of these code snippets be put?
