Emil ... Thanks for the extra input. I am already looking at editing anvil-options.php and will take a look at the use of ( <font color="#333333" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">!is_admin()) in functions.php</font>.<br>

<font color="#333333"><font size="2"><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">I apologize to interject here, however I am also seeing few potential issues with current version. Upon Theme activation, Theme styles are being set outside of your Theme Options, for example:</font></font></font><div>
<font color="#333333" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font color="#333333" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><link rel='stylesheet' id='anvil-admin-css-css' href='<a href="http://example.com/wp-content/themes/wordsmith-anvil/functions/styles/admin.css?ver=1.0" target="_blank">http://example.com/wp-content/themes/wordsmith-anvil/functions/styles/admin.css?ver=1.0</a>' type='text/css' media='all' /> and in right away you will have few changes to WordPress Core styles such as: <a href="http://cl.ly/2P3u1w0K1n2r2E0c2f1R" target="_blank">http://cl.ly/2P3u1w0K1n2r2E0c2f1R</a></font></div>
<div><font color="#333333" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font color="#333333" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">And also JS files are not enqued properly either:</font></div><div><font color="#333333" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><script type='text/javascript' src='<a href="http://themeid.com/dev/wp-content/themes/wordsmith-anvil/functions/js/admin.js?ver=1.0" target="_blank">http://themeid.com/dev/wp-content/themes/wordsmith-anvil/functions/js/admin.js?ver=1.0</a>'></script></font></div>
<div><font color="#333333" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font color="#333333" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Not sure if this is the main reason, however it is highly suggested to use JS/CSS only where you actually need them and that's Theme Options. I also see bunch of separated if ( !is_admin() ) { that is not necessary. To simplify and to isolate your scripts see how this was done in Twenty Eleven Theme: /inc/theme-options.php</font></div>

<div>It doesn't do any user tracking, nor does it care about where you're running.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Try changing the version string on one of those sites to a older version, and reloading the themes page, see if it picks it up then?</div>
<div><br></div><div>The other thing that comes to mind, is if all the servers you're testing on are on a slower network, the update checks might be timing out, so it's only the once-ever-24hrs check that waits longer for a response that's working, and so not picking up the updates.. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Assuming everything else is working, there's not much else that can be impacting upon it (except maybe a plugin..). If you've got a test install you don't mind letting me run a few debug items on, I can give you an exact reason why the alert isn't showing for you. (contact me off-list)</div>
<div><br></div><div>FYI, I'm getting this warning on 3.3: </div><div>( ! ) Notice: wp_enqueue_script was called incorrectly. Scripts and styles should not be registered or enqueued until the wp_enqueue_scripts, admin_enqueue_scripts, or init hooks.

Caroline & Dion ... <br><br>Thanks for the quick feedback. However, I thought of this. Actually, to test this before posting on the list, I tried installing older versions of the theme on a couple different sites; including a site that is not registered to me. The update message still didnt appear. I wonder if WordPress recognizes my IP address, or the email associated or domain associated with my user login; and that is why it does not appear for me. Any other thoughts on this. Dion, thx also for testing this. Glad it is working on your computer, anyway.<br>

<div>Hi Tom,<br></div><div>I've just tested out your theme and the update API seems to be working correctly for it for me.</div><div>(I installed the latest 2.1.1 version, changed the version in the style.css to 2.1.0 and reloaded the themes page, and got a notice for it)</div>
<div><br></div><div>The main reason I can think of why you're not getting the alerts, would simply be due to your version number always matching the latest release or being up to date already?

Greetings ...<br><br>I have a theme on the Repository that has been updated a half-dozen times or so. My understanding is that WordPress.org runs a cron job twice a day that checks all the self installed WordPress installations to query which themes, plugins etc are installed. From what I have read the theme_update_available function in theme.php is supposed to display '<b>There is a new version of %1<a href="http://../../_variables/s.html" target="_blank">$s</a> available'</b> <i>with an update url</i>, whenever there is a new version of the theme, if it detects a there is a newer version of any of the installed themes that reside in the Repository. Unless I am misunderstanding something, this is the default behavior, unless the theme has added some code to bypass the this function. <br>
<br>I have not added any functions to bypass the theme_update_available(). However, even though I see the update message displayed for other themes, I have never seen it displayed for my theme, Wordsmith-Anvil. Does anyone know what would cause this function not to work for my theme?<br>
