Pushing theme updates

Hi, I’ve cloned a theme to customize it for my website @ Cotellese.net. I was able to add the custom theme from the design screen by add my GitHub URL.

Now, when I make updates to the theme and push a new version to GitHub it doesn’t seem to update on my site.

Is there another step here? Do I need to delete and re-add the theme?

Also, any tips to develop / debug the theme locally with content?

Thanks.

You need to delete and re-add. There’s no automated pull of themes. However, if you make your theme a plugin, you can reinstall by changing the plug in version and then reinstalling.

bummer. Ok.

I’m going to work on fixing this, either with a “Refresh from GitHub” button or automatically. I’ve been working on a couple plug-ins this week too and it really highlighted how annoying this workflow can be.

Thanks y’all.

My .02 start with whatever is easier and see how many people use it. Thanks!
