And since this is not something we can do, no worries, it's was worth a try. Moving on, thanks guys :)</font><div>

You can also make the Child-Theme version extremely high ... add 1000 or something similar to the base version, such as version 1.0 would be 1001.0; I have seen very few cases were this method does not work to protect the Child-Theme.<br>
<br>Also, I see it as the responsibility of the Child-Theme author to insure there are not conflicts with repository hosted themes. Although Shelter and Multi are live in Extend, before I named them I checked to make sure their names were not currently in use elsewhere. This is not to mention the discussion that was had some time ago about naming conventions for Child-Themes that included the Parent-Theme name, part of the reason being for examples such as this ... not that I really supported the argument but it does hold up well.<br>

Seriously. There is no magic bullet that will fix this sort of thing.<br>
Any solution you think of I can come up with a reasonable counter to.<br>
<br>
Always, always, prefix stuff. All stuff. Always.<br>
<br>
My preferred method for custom stuff is to use the domain name.<br>
"Ottopress.com Theme" and similar.<br>
