Bug: Theme Update

    After recently installing OceanWP, a notice appeared in the WordPress themes dashboard that an update was available. I clicked on the Update Now message the update process began but ended with an error that the oceanwp archive could not be created ( I suspect a directory’s write permissions were not configured properly) at that point the site began to show a down for maintenance error followed by an Oceanwp stylesheet not found error.

    The sequencing of events in the upgrade routine may need attention as it appears that the existing OceanWP theme was deleted before the archive was written and the update installed. In otherwords, it appears that the sequencing is
    1. copy and delete existing theme version
    2. write existing theme to archive
    3. install new version
    an error at step 2 is catastrophic as the theme is completely gone.

    Deleting the “maintenance” file from the root director and reinstalling the theme cleared up the issue.

    I’m glad that you were able to resolve that.
