Hello all,<br><br>I just submitted an update for my theme for approval and I'm worried about people upgrading and losing any file edits that they may have made.<br><br>Is there a way to warn people in the wordpress dashboard that they should make a note of any changes that they made and that they will need to put the changes back in after the upgrade?<br>
<br>I've made a post on my blog and forum about it, but not everyone go over there.<br><br clear="all"><div style="font-family:georgia,serif">Regards,<br>Daniel Fenn<br></div>
