Theme Upgrades, Changelogs & Subversion
11. Aug, 2008 by Adii Rockstar in Development
We’re proud to announce that all of our themes are now officially on Version 1.1. You might be asking why only now and you’d have a very valid question… 
Fact is, we only recently started using Joost de Valk – to help develop a WooThemes-exclusive custom write panel script, which adds the additional fields – required by our themes – to the the Write > Post & Write > Page panels. No more plugins, no more Flutter; everything works out of the box!
Subversion
We’re still doing some beta testing of our subversion server, but we will most probably give our users access to the subversion files very soon. This would mean that you could use appropriate SVN software to merge your modified theme with our latest version on WooThemes.
Upgrading
All the updated themes are available from “My Theme Downloads”. If you’d like to upgrade and have made changes to your existing theme, we strongly advise you to have a look at the changelog for the theme that you are using. The changelog will specify which files has been modified. If you haven’t made any modifications to the theme, then you can just overwrite your old version.
To get the custom write panel working, you will need to upload the /functions/custom.php and functions.php files to your theme directory. Please check out the updated theme documentation which has new screenshots of the custom write panel.

When was the last update for LiveWire themes? Does it have subversion built into it and is it available in the download area for people who have bought this theme?
Do you have to redo all the edits made in the previous version of the theme?

Alan – This was obviously the latest update for Live Wire. Subversion is not available to users just yet and the changelog dictates which files has been upgraded.

I’m using the Proudfolio theme. I can’t see the Proudfolio custom settings? So, where do I go to make some upgrades so, I make this visiable?
28 August 2008 at 12:26 am #
@Dan – You simply need to redownload the theme from your “Download My Themes” tab when logged in.
28 August 2008 at 9:40 am #
I clicked “Download My Themes” then what am I suppose to do to get the upgrades for the Proudfolio custom settings?

@Dan – Please use the support forum for technical help.
