    Hi All,

    So, I do a lot of custom design work with the twenty ten theme. I have heard the argument of using a child theme. However, when I make changes to the themes, every files changes except for probably the function.php Most of the work is to provide a whole custom design so the styles change a lot, the header.php, page.php, index.php, footer.php, etc change quite a bit.

    So when upgrading from version 1.1 to 1.2, what is the best way to upgrade in my case? Is the function.php the main file that gets changed? Is there an documentation that shows what code has been changed from 1.1 to1.2. so i can manually change it?

    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide me.

    So I guess my only option is to rebuild it upon the new version. I wonder how other people handle it…

    If you’ve modified TwentyTen this much, then you really need to cut the ties, and rename your Derivative Theme. You’ve modified TwentyTen so heavily that you actually gain nothing by using a Child Theme.

    You have a stand-alone, Deriviative Theme. Just rename it, so that it is no longer subject to being over-written by TwentyTen upon update.

    P.S. TwentyTen is bundled with core, and updates with core. If you’re using TwentyTen version 1.1, then you’re still using WordPress version 3.0.x. Why have you not upgraded yet?
