Hi @syzygist,
Thanks for getting in touch about this, very sorry to hear about the trouble!
We haven’t had any reports of this before, but it sounds very interesting and we’d love to investigate. Thank you for all the detailed info! Would you mind including a link to your site so we can try to track down the cause of this issue?
Thanks again!
Oops, while boldfacing didn’t work when I switched to Twenty Twenty, it did work when I tried it in another theme today, so not your theme’s fault. Sorry about that (and thanks for the reply). But while I’ve got you, is it your intention to bring Vega up to compatibility with the current version of WordPress? It still has a lot of users, and I’m hoping I’m not going to have to rebuild my site in a new theme 🙁
Thanks so much for the follow up- that’s great to hear, but I do hope you’re able to get it resolved either way.
Good question on the updates! It’s been a bit of a slow stretch due to all of the craziness of the past two years, but we have just recently begun going through and adding feature requests, bug fixes, and compatibility updates to our themes in order of popularity and necessity. Vega is definitely on our radar but due to its smaller user base it was a little further down the list.
Would you mind sharing the biggest pain points you’re running into with compatibility, etc.? Any suggestions would be great, but compatibility-related issues would be the most helpful since they would obviously be top priority.
Thanks again!
Glad to hear Vega is not abandoned. I haven’t noticed any compatibility issues thus far (I built the site in the classic editor and don’t change it often), but also hadn’t realized Vega hadn’t been updated in two+ years, and was alarmed to discover it. I suspect there are theme authors who would be quite envious to hear 4,000 active users referred to as a “smaller” user base.
The pace of change to the WordPress core and time required to keep up seems to be ever-escalating, which has got me reconsidering whether a commitment to WordPress is sustainable, and I imagine I’m not the only one.
I will certainly keep an eye out, though, and let you know if anything comes up. Thanks again for your responsiveness, MUCH appreciated.
Thanks for the helpful feedback! You’re right, it really is moving at an incredibly fast pace these days.
Best of luck with your site, and thanks again!
