    Hi,

    I’m having problems lately with updating the theme.
    I have edited the name of the (child)theme’s file for security reasons, as I have done for many years and always worked well. By updating the theme, the name of the file is changed back to Atelier and that I change back to my own theme name by FTP.

    The last few weeks the WordPress update page, keeps reminding me of an update, which is already installed. And after updating, it adds a new atelier theme file in my themes folder instead of updating.
    I had this never before.
    How to solve this?

    Thank you!
    Buckie.

    Are you editing anything in the parent theme?

    Yes, I have added in both the css and functions, but only in the child theme.

    If you don’t edit the parent them name, you should be bale to update it just fine

    I already edited the themes name. I have theme xx and xx-child.
    If I edit the xx theme name into atelier and adjust the css in the xx-child into atelier I get a blank screen.

    Any suggestions?

    The blank screen is because within your database the old theme names will still be referencing the old name. Changing the theme names is not updating the DB content.

    You would likely need to deactivate the themes, then rename the both and then activate them both.

    Thanks.

    I looked in my website’s source and both the parent theme and the child theme are mentioned there.
    Is there another way? 

    <link rel='stylesheet' id='sf-combined-min-css'  href='http://xx.com/wp-content/themes/xx/css/sf-combined.min.css' type='text/css' media='all' />
<link rel='stylesheet' id='sf-responsive-min-css'  href='http://xx.com/wp-content/themes/xx/css/responsive.css' type='text/css' media='all' />
<link rel='stylesheet' id='sf-style-css'  href='http://xx.com/wp-content/themes/xx-child/style.css' type='text/css' media='all' />

    The theme options can be exported.

    By the sounds of this, your best solution will be to test this on a staging site and certainly not on a live site.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    I managed to solve it. Renamed the theme files into Atelier, exported and imported theme options.
    Also bought the plugin Hide My WP for better security.

    Thank you.
