Manga+Press 3.0 Released!

Bye bye Child-themes

Upgrade note: the bundled child-themes have been removed. If/when you do upgrade, make sure to move those themes to wp-content/themes IF you’re using them. If you’re not using them, then you shouldn’t have anything to worry about. The old themes are available for download on the Themes page. I won’t be updating these themes going forward, nor will I be adding new child-themes when WordPress releases a new one.

Update Thoughts

This update has been almost 2 years in the making. If I recall, the last update I had was version 2.9 at the end of 2014. In time for the update, I’ve done a lot of work updating the documentation and moving it over to Gitbook, and dividing it into two sections: Getting Started, and Developers.

For the Future

So what does this mean for Manga+Press NEXT, since my initial idea for that was to branch off. Well, Manga+Press NEXT is dead. I realized that I don’t want the headache of trying to maintain two different versions, and the development on that project has pretty much stalled. So, I’m planning Manga+Press 4.0 with some new features and ideas — suggestions from the community plus my own ideas. I may do like the WordPress Core devs and do these features as separate plugins to test them out before integrating into the main plugin.

Till next time!
