The folks who run and maintain WordPress and the WordPress directory made it official that all themes will have the use the WordPress Customizer instead of creating separate theme options … Continue reading “An Unforseen Diversion”
So another week has gone by and there’s still no news for the Nuovo theme either being ready for the WordPress theme directory or needing more fixes. But in the meantime I’ve made the decision to go ahead with the re-write for Giornalismo.
