after reading this article: http://codex.simple-press.com/.....version-5/ I am still unsure whether updating SP will keep my custom themes or not?
i.e. I made a copy of the css-only theme, renamed it and am customizing that copy.
If I ever upgrade SP, will my custom theme still be available or will it get deleted during the upgrade process?
I was just worried because the upgrade seems to be the same as the built-in wordpress plugin update and that one deletes the old folder, downloads the new zip file and unpacks it thus you lose all files/customizations in the plugin folder.
Is SP using its own upgrade method which preserves the customized themes?
This is why we define the storage locations outside of our own folders. As long as you defined a new theme within it's own folder it is safe from the WP update routines. These will not update the entire 'sp-resources/forum-themes' folder but the sub-folders within it.
The WP team have committed to change the updater to only update individual files but when that change will come we don't know yet.
