upgrading customized theme

  • I customized my theme, A LOT.

    This is the one :

    Thematic 0.9.5.1

    But there’s an update out, if I upgrade, will that overwrite any changes I made?

  • Yes.

    ThemeShaper (the Thematic People) explain how to use a child theme which allows you to create a separate theme from Thematic, but still use Thematic as a framework.

    In the future you should make all modifications to a child theme, so when an update to the framework comes out, you can easily upgrade the framework, but keep your modifications.

    Thanks! Is there any benefit to upgrade a theme?

    I don’t recall if my designer did it with that method or not.

    You would have to check the Thematic page for a list of changes for the upgrade. Then you can decide yourself whether or not to update. But generally, it’s good to have the latest version.
