Hey Emil,<br><br>Just looking at that picture that you linked to, is that only for plugins or can it be done on themes as well? That is what I'm looking for :D<br><br>In regard to child themes, can that use all the settings from the parent theme? And can the header.php and footer.php file be completely different from the parent theme's file?<span style="color:#5b1094"><br>

<font color="#333333"><font size="2"><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Child Themes should be the answer to all this and if I were you I would make that your number one priority and letting know your users that in the order to keep their "edits" Child Themes are the only way to preserve that. Take a look at <a href="http://chrishajer.com/wordpress/upgrade-plugin.png" target="_blank">http://chrishajer.com/wordpress/upgrade-plugin.png</a> and see what they have done with this, maybe you can do something similar.<br clear="all">

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>
