Thesis Theme WordPress 3 Compatibility Issue Resolved

Well sort-of…

If you are using Thesis 1.7 and have recently upgraded to WordPress 3 (or the even newer version WordPress 3.0.1) then you have most likely found out that when trying to access your custom file editor you are confronted with an error like:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function use_codepress() in
/YOURDIRECTORY/public_html/wp-content/themes/thesis_1.7/lib/admin/admin.php
on line 42

How to Fix Thesis Theme WordPress 3 Compatibility Issue

1. Open your FTP Program

2. Navigate to the folder where the error message is being shown

3. Open the admin.php file

4. Navigate to line 42 and comment out the line by adding ‘//’
So the line of code would now look like:

// if (use_codepress()) add_action(‘admin_print_footer_scripts’, ‘codepress_footer_js’);

5. Save and View your updated dashboard – now with the ability to access the custom file editor again.

The only thing you will notice is that the syntax highlighting no longer works

Hopefully with the next release of the Thesis Theme this issue will be permanently resolved.
