I have been having a lot of issues with a site running this theme where it would frequently crash. The site is running minimal plugins, so I wanted to check the theme to see if there were any issues with it.
Using the WordPress Theme Check plugin, I found a lot of depreciated functions and direct PHP filesystem calls, where WP_Filesystem methods should have been used. Also a lot of base64_decode used where it is not allowed.
I realize that not all of the issues presented by the Theme Check results are going to cause a site to slow down or even crash, but I have to imagine that some of the depreciated functions at a minimum should be updated.
Is there a timeline or at least a quick fix for this?

Hello,

I’ve just checked your site and it’s loading fine.
I’ve checked loading time with this tool http://www.webpagetest.org/result/150814_CW_F73/1/details/ and load time is almost 2 seconds – 1.974s.
As you can see from that page some images and js files slow down the loading.

Best regards,
Jack Richardson.

Yes it is loading fine now, because I switched themes temporarily (hopefully) until the issue with this theme has been resolved. My client is losing customers because his site keeps crashing, so I had to find an alternative theme to use in the meantime.
Is there any way that you could address, at a minimum, the depreciated functions in your theme? Run the Theme Check plugin on it and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
Thanks.
