Hello!
In the coming months, Edublogs will be retiring a large number of themes from their CampusPress network.
There are two primary reasons for retiring these themes:
1. Many of their themes have been around for 8-10 years, and are outdated in both style and coding practices.
2. Google is now penalizing sites that aren’t mobile friendly. We will therefore only be supporting mobile friendly themes going forward.
Beginning on May 5th, Edublogs will display a notification in the dashboard of any site using one of the retired themes which will ask the user to change to a newer theme. At this time, the retired themes will disappear from the available themes list as well.
Then, on July 7th, any site that is still using a retired theme will be switched automatically to the default theme chosen for the network. Please visit the Edublogs Help and Support site if you have any questions about which theme is set to default or how to change it.
Edublogs will be adding over 50 new mobile friendly themes on May 5th as well. They will notify us of this once complete, and Cheryl and I will enable any new themes that are added to make them available to all users.
No content will be lost during the change of any themes, though if there are a different number or arrangement of sidebars, widgets may need to be setup again.
I’ve pasted a complete list of the themes selected for retirement below. As always, please let us know about any questions you may have.
