Perfect Duluth Day is in the process of updating its WordPress theme. Here’s what that means:

• • • Right now you can read all the content on the website as usual. Nothing has changed in that regard. But you shouldn’t log into the site, create or edit a post, comment on a post, or submit an event to the calendar by using the usual form. Any efforts you might put in that direction will likely be lost in the transition.
    • At some point soon, with any luck, the post you are reading right now will self destruct and there will be a new post telling you things are back to normal.
    • Meanwhile, geeks will be working behind the scenes to move PDD’s massive databases to a new version of the site. PDD is built on a web platform called WordPress, and what’s happening is the theme is being updated to keep things running smoothly.

If all this feels familiar, it should. Eleven months ago we attempted to do what we are doing now and failed. Now we’re trying again, feeling like we’re smarter this time.

If we succeed, several problems the site has been experiencing will be fixed. Probably a few new issues will pop up, but you should see an improved PDD overall.

If you have any questions, feel free to send an email to paul @ perfectduluthday.com.
