Hi,
I would like to know if i can change my theme and theme-child folder names, like : example.com/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/ and example.com/wp-content/themes/Newspaper-child/ to example.com/wp-content/themes/NewName/ and example.com/wp-content/themes/NewName-child/.
Can i do this without having problems in the future (for updates)?
Thanks

Hello,
In order to change the name of the child theme you will have to edit 2 places:
First change the name in the child theme style.css: http://screencast.com/t/aS831GzMeM and then change the chilkd theme folder name.
Thank you!

I have changed the name and when I’m trying to update it, it is telling me to download the theme rather than showing there’s an update. I’m using this method B. Update the theme automatically

The Envato plugin doesn’t work very well.
You should use the FTP method as you can also do backup of working site at same time in case you have problems 🙂
