Automattic / _s

Hi. I'm a starter theme called _s, or underscores, if you like. I'm a theme meant for hacking so don't use me as a Parent Theme. Instead try turning me into the next, most awesome, WordPress theme out there. That's what I'm here for.

Need help updating from 3.2.0 to 4.1.0 #1452

Hi, I'm new to this and recently took over managing a site created with _s. I have some experience with WordPress, updating themes and plugins, but not with custom themes. I just downloaded the code, but I'm not sure what is involved in updating the current site. Please help!

I think _s is not meant to be used that way... As there are probably to many changes in your theme you won't be able to "update".

Maybe:

  1. Just update your old code to follow current theme guidelines
  2. Use some diff tool and try to merge the latest version into your old one (i.e. PhpStorm)
  3. Start from scratch with the latest version and try to incorporate necessary changes from your old theme

Yes, I just learned that. There was something left in the code that triggered an out of date warning in the status report. I'm sure it's one of the plugins causing the problem. Thanks for your help!
