WordPress has come out with a new version. Yay! View all the fun, new changes in “Benny” WordPress 4.0 here.
You’ll be happy to know we’ve upgraded all of our sites to it and haven’t run into any issues, so those of you worried about hitting that Upgrade Now button can go right ahead without fear.
That is unless you’re running the Thesis 1.8.5 theme.
Yup, it finally happened. WordPress broke Thesis. After doing some poking around it seems at present the only option people have is to either upgrade their Thesis themes to 2.0, find a new theme, or convert their sites to another framework like Genesis.
I have to admit,the news doesn’t sadden me in the least. Thesis has been the bane of many a designer’s existence since it came out. I know I never liked it. Others swear by it. Here at Blue Sun Studio we specialize in the Genesis Framework and all our clients are very happy with it. For a list of benefits, click here to read why we’re so committed to it.
The timing couldn’t be more perfect for us. Wendi and I have just created a brand new package for site conversions such as this.
Introducing “Let It Grow!”

Sometimes you don’t need or want to spend a large amount of money on a website. You may not see yourself managing an e-commerce site or big list right now. You want a site that gives your visitors a place to land. Or maybe you have an outdated site and all the branding work has been done, but the one you have right now isn’t working for you anymore.
Or maybe your Thesis is broken and you want a framework you can count on.

I miss Thesis. I could still actually edit the pages then. Genesis is just too much work for me. I went with CyberChimps iFeaturePro for the present site.
Really? I found the opposite to be true for me. Thesis frustrated me to no end. Good to hear you found something that works for you now.
Out of curiosity, how long ago did you stop using Thesis? And if you liked it, why did you switch?
Had Thesis years ago and hated it. No one could work on it without major hassles. Plugins were a nightmare. Went to child themes and never looked back. We are loving the new Genesis theme you designed for us, and can attest that this package is a fabulous value. 🙂
Thank you, Betsy! Nothing says love like a happy client. 🙂
