Invision Community 5: A video walkthrough creating a custom theme and homepage By Matt Thursday at 04:02 PM
The Old Man Posted July 2 Posted July 2 (edited) I just updated my site to 4.17.7 from the previous version and I noticed my themes were looking different. Upon closer inspection I found that the upgrader duplicated some but not all of my custom theme settings, but excluded the values they were actually set to, meaning that whatever the original setting was set to, the duplicate was overriding it with a default value, hence overriding the original version of the setting. Example: Super annoying. Edited July 2 by The Old Man Duplicate image removed that failed during first upload attempt
The Old Man Posted July 2 Author Posted July 2 This seems limited to my child themes only for some reason. All parent themes were unaffected.
Marc Posted July 2 Posted July 2 These look to be custom items rather than items that are built into the platform. I would advise on speaking to the theme author first of all G17 Media 1
The Old Man Posted July 2 Author Posted July 2 Hi @Marc Stridgen Thanks, yes they are Custom Theme Settings (the software platform provides them) and I’m the author of the themes. I’m going to have remove them all which should fix the problem, but ideally I’m looking for some reassurance; why did it happen and how do I prevent it from happening again? No update has caused this previously before, so I’m assuming there’s something awry with the updater that is duplicating certain custom theme settings on child themes? Many thanks.
