No bugs here. It works the way I thought it did. Upgrading themes<br>
removes the whole theme directory before unpacking the new theme.<br>
Files added to a theme will be removed too.</div><div><div><img></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br>
</div><div class="gmail_extra">I'll admit to not testing it recently as I have always found it to act as I described earlier but after re-testing I see that it does indeed behave the same as plugin updates. I'm happy for the consistency. Although this does pose a concern as one was formerly able to create custom page-templates for a theme and load them directly into the theme folder. This now forces end-users to either create a Child-Theme to accomplish this or FTP the custom page templates after every theme update neither of which seems very UX friendly for what was essentially a simple idea.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I know this wasn't the case in the past but as I'm waiting to board a plane at SFO I'll have to look into this later, as I expect this behavior to break one of my plugins that relied on the theme update process to not be a destructive one.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
