<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? You'll never see the notice if you've already updated the theme on the site for testing before the theme was approved/published on WordPress.org.</div>

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>
