Hi, okay; just updated my beta revamp from 5.4 to 5.4.2 for the security fix.
I am the FTP upload guy; so I don’t update via the theme panel/WP admin. Via FTP I wipe old theme and td-composer folders; then upload new ones so no overwrites and no timeouts on curl and such.
Oddly, under updates > themes, this is showing:
Newsmag
You have version 5.4.2 installed. Update to 5.4.2.
LOL. Say WHAT now? Just for laughs I tried updating the style.css file to 5.4.21 or 5.4.3 and still showed update needed. I don’t want to deactivate and reactivate theme due to settings, although I have custom CSS in the customizer.
Not sure how I’d clear that. I guess I could hit the update button and see what happens, and worst case just upload the FTP version. (Only change I made to CSS file was my usual fix of removing any default fonts like open-sans to move to the more common web-safe font stack.)
Not critical, just an oddity.
resolved….
basically, did update via theme panel, rather WP panel > updates > themes
then simply dragged over my FTP copy which has the CSS fixes for generic fonts on top of the “updated” copy.
Solved. Weirdness 🙂
Latest version of WP, and running PHP 8.1x.
Probably some aggressive caching thing in PHP 8.1x behaves differently than 7.4x.
Actually… correction, kooky caching of
PHP 8.2.15
living on the edge for the beta test of running everything on ‘edge’ copies before migrating all our old NM3x sites on php 7.4x. Wheeee!
Hi simchris,
I think I had some information similar to the one mentioned by you (when the theme is updated via FTP to the latest version and it shows in the update section to update even if you already have the latest version), from what I remember most of them solved the situation by making a backup on the site and then pressing the update button in the updates section.
We tried out the latest Newsmag and WordPress versions on PHP 8.2.x, but we haven’t tested them on PHP 8.3 yet.
Thank you!
Heh. PHP 8.2.15 is ‘edge’ enough for me right now.
