I said it before: WordPress developers are dumb. And I have to say it again: fuck you WordPress developers. Fuck you.
I’m using WordPress’ default theme Twenty Ten in one of my blogs, but I added some small modifications to suit my needs. One day I saw in WordPress’ admin panel that there was an update for the default theme. What first caught my attention was this: why the hell is there not an option to turn off those fucking annoying notifications?
But then, some days later there was also an update for WordPress itself. So I had two things I could update: WordPress and its default theme Twenty Ten. You’d think that they are different updates and that obviously updating one won’t update the other. It makes sense: you may want to update WordPress code but not the theme. But I wouldn’t be writing this posts if things that make sense were for those dumb, stupid WordPress developers, right?
So when you update WordPress it also updates the default theme. And there is not an option to avoid this. You are not warned. Nothing. You have to also upgrade the fucking theme because the fucking developers decided so. Thank you brilliant minds.
Now, and this is the funny part, when you upgrade WordPress and its default theme… you don’t get an updated theme! That’s right, you still get a notification that an update for WordPress’ default theme is available. Amazing. How dumb can be that?
Thankfully I had a back up of the theme with my small modifications and could restore it, but I wonder how many users have been caught off guard thanks to those dumb developers.
