Ehren Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 For those of you who update their themes regularly, but have experienced issues using the "Upload new version" feature, I've re-written the installation tutorial with more detailed instructions. The new method uses a parent/child theme combination, which should hopefully force the "Upload new version" feature to work correctly, and your theme settings will also stay in-tact. Additionally, theme updates for 4.2.7 have been released for Animate, Brave, Carbon, Villain, Uniform, Dispersion, Dimension and Snapshot. All other themes require no updates. 2 1 Send PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Wheels Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Thanks. What if you aren't having issues using the Upload new version? How would I know I was having trouble? I read through the tutorial, I guess I don't understand what's happening. I can upload a new version for a child theme, but not a parent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you aren’t having issues, then feel free to keep using your normal method. The tutorial tells you to do the opposite actually: “Upload new version” should be used to replace the parent theme, not the child theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll likely be creating new ones for 4.3 (all existing themes will also be upgraded), however I have no design mock-up's just yet 1 Send PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
