Simplish version 2.5.1

Posted by – January 18, 2011

Introducing Simplish 2.5.1!

Neither of  the 2.4.1 or 2.5 versions were officially released in the Themes Directory, so for many users, 2.5.1 rolls up several months of changes, fixes, and enhancements.

Highlights:

  • Use WordPress’s body_class() to automatically generate CSS classes for content
  • Use post_class() for same reasons
  • Rename ambigious #page element ID to #content-wrapper
  • Standardize use of wp_link_pages() for intra-article pagination
  • Add sticky post styling
  • Replace deprecated use of include() with get_template_part()
  • Cleanup places where floats need explicit clearing
  • Adopt the comment_form() function and stop hand-building the comment form
  • Comments on Pages
  • Standardize the inner link to #comments like every other wp theme on the planet
  • Give the widget sidebar a name
  • Improve and complete excerpt handling
  • Initial Post Thumbnail/Featured Image support
  • Add custom background image and color support and theme admin interface
  • Use the_widget() where possible in default sidebar
  • Improve single-image view (image.php template)
  • Replace deprecated get_links_list() with wp_list_bookmarks()
  • New Turkish tr_TR locale courtesy of Default32

Simplish version 2.4.1

Posted by – August 6, 2010

Simplish version 2.4.1 is a minor update that streamlines some HTML5 bits and adds and updates localizations.

  • Add Russian (ru_RU) localization (courtesy Michael Sgibnev)

Simplish version 2.4

Posted by – June 17, 2010

Simplish version 2.4 is here, hand-in-hand with the new WordPress 3.0.

First and foremost: This release is not compatible with earlier versions of WordPress. Use it only with WP3.0 and up.

Only minor refinements are apparent to the eye: You won’t see the word “Trackback” in the comments area anymore, and the former “Pages” list in the default sidebar is now labeled “Navigation” to accommodate the optional custom menu. Just beneath the surface, the theme now outputs HTML5 where once there was XHTML 1.0.

Highlighted Changes

  • HTML5 output
  • Support new custom menus
  • New CSS reset
  • Suppress the inline gallery style — remove a validation stumbling block
  • CSS updates for gallery styling, efficiency
  • Use automatic feed links for uniform & dynamic header metadata
  • Rewrite and modernize functions.php — better child theme override support
  • Replace/remove deprecated WordPress function calls
