    Looking forward to bowing out of the Akismet upgrade dance – Go Nacin!
    And, not to mention really happy we’re getting close to the 3.1 stable release/new features!

    Why would they fix 3.1 for php4 compatibility? Seems a waste to me.

    It would be nice if they would also indicate that TwentyTen is about to be updated. I know all are supposed to back up their theme, especially if they are using TwentyTen, but incremental updates coming as fast as 3.0.5 did after 3.0.4 didn’t seem to be the place that all the files in TwentyTen would be updated.

    I know it caught a lot of casual users with small tweaks to their site, (That don’t know how to build a child theme) got caught in this last update.

    At least a mention in the release notes of changes to TwentyTen would be a reminder to many.

      And that’s exactly why the core developers recommend creating a Child Theme instead of editing a core theme.

      With a child theme, your modifications won’t be affected when the core theme is updated, and your child theme will inherit all of the bug fixes and enhancements.

        James,

        I agree, but it isn’t easy. I’ve been two weeks trying to decipher how to get a functioning functions.php file for a TwentyTen Child theme. The documentation is cryptic, and what I’ve sound out there doesn’t work.

        Something as simple as changing the size of the header image file should be easy and easily documented. But it isn’t.

        Every thing I’ve found so far on doing this hasn’t worked. And I’ve tried about every post out there, but still get the errors on headers already being loaded and the not pluggable issue.

        So to at least get their site working till they can try and find an answer they modify the functions.php file on the parent them TwentyTen.

        Granted, all the other files are straight forward to put in a child theme, but the functions.php file (ex. adding additional widget areas, and something as simple as changing the header image dimensions shouldn’t take weeks to try and figure out)
