Version 2.0.3

[lorraine]

The latest version of the theme on Themeforest is 2.0.2 according to the stylesheet although your changelog is showing a version 2.0.3.

Hi,

To update to the latest 2.0.3 you should go to the Appearance-> Themes and click on the Cardinal details and update.

The version on Themeforest sometimes can be different because the process of updating the version in Themeforest can take sometime.

Hi Rui,

Thanks for writing back.

I have created a child theme for my website in which case, will automatically updating the parent theme mess any of that up?

Many thanks,
Lorraine

Hi,
You can upgrade theme without any problem because you have child theme now. Make sure that you made all changes through child theme.
Thanks

I did this, but the theme updated and was called Cardinal (rather than the name I’d given the parent theme) and installed in themes/cardinal whereas I’d had it installed as themes/client-name.

For my own website, I hopped into the server and just changed the folder name. I don’t have access to this for my client’s website and so I’d had to use the Cardinal [parent] theme. Any ideas?

If you change the name of the theme you will not be able to update it anymore. You should only rename the child theme to your clients name, not the parent theme

Hi,

When launching live the website you can change the directory name, but if you change the theme name inside style.css you also have to do it inside your child theme style.css

You can always update using ftp,if the Themeforest is not the latest at that time we can provide it for you when necessary.

How do you change the directory name??

I always use FTP to install as otherwise WordPress falls over!

[Rui Guerreiro – SUPPORT]

To rename use ftp software like Filezilla. Righ-click on the directory and choose the rename option.

So if I keep the name as Cardinal, but change the folder name, it will still update automatically? If I do it that way, what should I set the Template name to in my child theme? I’m aware that the link to the parent stylesheet would be the folder name that I changed it to.

[Kyle – SUPPORT]

The template name would still be cardinal, just don’t change the name of the parent theme in the style.css file
