Running into a strange situation. I've updated a few specifics of my Artisteer theme and uploaded it. No matter what I've done, the update doesn't appear in the browser. What I"ve tried so far:

1. Update and load.
2. Rebuild from a sister theme and load.
3. Clear Drupal cache.
4. Even tried to load a completely different theme.

Regardless, the old theme appears and will not load anything new. Any thoughts?

Try running cron.php

Try running update.php

Cron runs every other hour, didn't try update.php. Though, I think that is more module based.

What I ended doing was changing the name of the theme folder. Drupal views the theme based on name. Same theme with a new folder name is considered a new theme. Once I did that, everything worked perfectly.

Thanks for the thoughts.

What I do is to give each theme update a unique name like DW1, DW2 etc. That way when you export it will change the name and folder. That way you also can go back to an earlier theme you for some reason you have a problem and need to work on the more recent version.

I do the same Don. And then when I am happy with "my-theme-V_5" I'll delete "my-theme-V_1", leaving V2, V3, V4 there, to be deleted when V6, V7, V8 are made.

I do sort of the same thing. ONce I am basically through with a site I delete all but the finished theme and the one before it. Only leaving the last two there. Just keeps it cleaner. I always keep all on them in my local folder.
