Deprecated Function: get_theme_data #37

Closed splorp closed 10 years ago

splorp commented 11 years ago

WordPress has deprecated get_theme_data and replaced it with wp_get_theme as of version 3.4.

We currently use get_theme_data to define theme naming and URI constants and should look into contextually supporting both of these functions for backwards compatibility.

We’ve recently locked off the WordPress version requirement at 3.0 … so let’s hold off implementing this change until we decided to bump the required install to a more recent version.

I’m looking into knocking this issue off the list again.

According to the WordPress Theme Documentation, themes must not provide backward compatibility for out-of-date WordPress versions. Out-of-date means “more than two prior major versions”. That’s a bit harsh if you ask me, but for us to change the version requirement to 3.4 shouldn’t be a problem.
