Thesis and WordPress 3.5 Compatibility: All Systems Go

by Chris Pearson

WordPress 3.5 is scheduled to debut on December 5, 2012, and you’re probably curious to know if your version of Thesis is going to be compatible with it.

Well, I’ve got great news for ya…

Both Thesis 2.0.2 and Thesis 1.8.5 are perfectly compatible with WordPress 3.5, and thanks to some WordPress dashboard tweaks, both versions will appear to run a little bit faster than they did before.

So, no matter which version of Thesis you’re rockin, you’re good to go. Huzzah!

How Thesis 2.0.1 Slays the 3 Dragons of Web Design

by Chris Pearson · 131 comments

Let’s talk about pain.

Specifically, let’s talk about the pain that we’ve all felt while working with our web designs. If you’ve run a website for any length of time, I’m betting you’ve felt…

  • Frustrated by how time-consuming and difficult it is to create a design on a development server and then move it over to a live server
  • Devastated when you lost design work and were unable to recover it

Thanks to the new Skin Manager and a clever little feature called Preview Mode, Thesis 2.0.1 is turning these pain points into areas of unprecedented control and stability.

Those negative emotions I listed above? They’re all tied to 3 specific problems—the 3 dragons of web design.
