Brushing off the old coding skills
I’ve been getting warning messages in wordpress for the last couple of weeks about the fact that my hosting account was running an old (!) version of PHP. However, while the upgrade process would be as easy as piss with BlueHost, I needed to make sure that nothing would break in wordpress after the upgrade. Turns out, my blog theme and one plugin would bork after an upgrade – and both are orphaned code projects. It was fairly simple to change the deprecated function calls that would have broken, but it was a fun little exercise and now all is good with the blogosphere.
