<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As a premium theme developer who hasn’t submitted their theme to the
WordPress theme repository I could theoretically be on the other side of this
issue one day, named my theme “Stallion SEO Theme” which should be unique
enough. I would be curious what would happen if another theme developer tried to
obviously ‘squat’ a theme name that’s unique enough that it’s highly unlikely to
be a mistake? Infinity is so generic it would only be a matter of time before
someone used it, Stallion SEO Theme unlikely.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Calibri>Not your fault this has happened, there’s at
least one way for premium theme developers to hook into the WordPress auto
update feature, I use this one <FONT face="Times New Roman"><A

when added to a theme, the theme acts like a theme in the repository with
regards updates. Not sure what would happen if a theme with the same name was
added to the repository as well while using the above. I’ll have to check with a
test site and if it does add the code others have suggested. This is why I
subscribe to this list, keep an eye on what’s going on <IMG

<DIV><FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman">I assume you’ve started at version 1
for your theme, you could suggest to the other theme developer to go to say
version 10 so it’s highly unlikely the themes will clash again, would be a
really quick fix for them.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman">Also since you already have the
Infinity name in the repo, if they do eventually submit to the repo they’ll have
to choose another name.</FONT></DIV>

Admin,
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My Theme <A href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/infinity">Infinity</A>
is available to public in WordPress Repo. I have submitted my theme by keeping
the WordPress Guidelines in mind especially about name. I have searched the
WordPress directory for the name "Infinity" and there was not any theme related
to Infinity, so i decided to choose the name.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now i have received an email from <B>PressCrew</B> and a part of email is
as follows,</DIV>

We've build a great community of users of the past year, and it has become a

am I telling you this? Because today all our users got prompted to update to a
new version of Infinity through the WordPress dashboard. We were extremely
confused because we had not pushed out any update <B>(since the theme is not
yet in the repo!)</B>. It turns out that it's actually WordPress thinking that
your version of Infinity is the theme that's being used by our users. In
practice this means that several of our users have accidently overwritten our
theme with yours. I don't have to tell you the implications this has for our
users.</SPAN></BLOCKQUOTE>

<DIV> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV>So what you people suggest me about this issue.</DIV>
<DIV>Waiting for response.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Take Care</DIV>
