    Hi

    I have an issue with the update of my theme and wondering if I am doing something wrong here.

    I am running the latest version of WordPress 4.4.2.

    With a theme called Superba that’s on version 1.0.8, I wish to update to version 1.0.24. I have all the options within your Plugin relating to themes set to ‘enabled’ and tried the “Force Updates” option but the theme doesn’t update. I have tried a few times but nothing moves.

    Do I have to separately download the theme and upload before any updates will take place? I have tried to do this but as v 1.0.24 has the same file name (Superba) as 1.0.8 it won’t install, stating that it’s already there. Of course, I can extract the files, rename and re-zip and then upload but that seems a little silly, as I am basically going down the route of doing this manually, when I assumed your plugin removed this process?

    Thanks

    The Easy Theme and Plugin Upgrades plugin doesn’t have a settings page or any options. It also doesn’t have any text saying “Force Updates”. So I’m confused when you refer to enabling all of the plugin’s options and using the “Force Updates” option. Any of those settings that you see would be from something else and not this plugin.

    The primary thing that this plugin does is modify the page used to upload a theme or plugin file. You can see the modification in this screenshot (that page can be reached by going to Appearance > Themes, clicking the “Add New” button at the top of the page, and then clicking the “Upload Theme” button at the top of the page). To enable this plugin’s ability to replace an existing theme with a zip file containing a theme with the same name, use the “Browse…” button (or however that appears on your specific browser), select “Yes” from the “Upgrade existing theme” drop down, and click the “Install Now” button.

    If this plugin is able to work with your site, you’ll see a confirmation page showing that the theme was installed and details about where you can download a backup of the old theme files.

    Sorry, my apologies, the issue is with another plugin and not yours. I was going to use yours but there was a warning saying that your plugin hadn’t been tested with my version of WordPress, it also stated it was only compatible up to version 3.9.11. So I went searching for something else but obviously left your page open and didn’t pay enough attention when I wrote my note. Sorry again.

    If your plugin works with WordPress 4.4.2, I’ll remove the other plugin and gladly use yours?

    Thanks

    It works well with the current version of WordPress. The only way to update the version compatibility reported on and by .org is to release a new version. It hasn’t required an update in a bit, so that number gets out-of-date.

    Just tried your plugin and it seems to have worked fine. Thanks for your help.

    Glad to hear that. Have a good day.

    @chris Actually, you do not need to release a new version to update your plugin’s compatibility, just update compatibility in txt file and commit to svn, that is it.

    @igor

    People previously said that all that needed to be updated was trunk/readme.txt. I tested that, and it did not work. I tried again after seeing your message, and it still didn’t work.

    Then I thought about updating the tags/1.0.4/readme.txt file. I did the update, and that worked. Thanks.
