wordpress themes for v2.0?!

Grr… I don’t have time to upgrade wordpress yet and I want a new theme right now.

How the heck do you find themes that are compatible with 2.0?! No one puts this in the description and you can’t search the theme directory in any useful way.

grr. arg.

Edit: Upgrade complete. Theme installed. Mah werdpress is purty now.

  1. That’s going to be pretty darn hard. Almost no one releases or maintains themes for 2.0. Tarski (the theme I have modified to use) has a legacy version that works on 2.0.x but it’s possible it has security vulnerabilities since no one is maintaining the old release. http://tarskitheme.com/help/legacy/

    Upgrading to 2.7.1 shouldn’t take you very long. Maybe 30 minutes? And then you can use almost any theme.

  2. It would take me a bit longer because I want to be careful about backing up everything. Database backups in the GUI fail, and I have to go remember how to do it on the command line, which isn’t insurmountable, but it requires effort.

    Oh and fyi… if you’d stop changing what name/url/whatever you use when you submit a comment, your comments would start getting auto-approved.

  3. @Emily: Hmm, WP 2.0, that’s gonna be tough. I don’t really know of a quick way. Besides, I haven’t needed to change mine since I customized my own theme back in those 2.0 days, lol. Good luck! ^_^
