Major Issue with theme update from v9.5.5 to v9.5.6: missing files in package
-
Yes, everything will stay there. I solved the problem through database:
- Switch to an old theme:
UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = 'twentytwentyfive' where option_name = 'template';
UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = 'twentytwentyfive' where option_name = 'stylesheet'; - Login to Admin, delete the faulty theme
- Re-install Lay, activate theme
@samuel.t thats a great way to do it too

Anyways. Shit happens. Didn’t want to be in your skin yesterday ;)
Glad you’ve reacted quickly though.Just a wish from my side: Please keep people informed if such a major issue happened. You have the licensees email addresses also for that reason.
The time you’ve discovered a major break happened and as well when it's been fixed, including a guide on how to restore functionality.

ah yea thats a good idea.
with the next lay update, auto updates will also get disabled -

Ciao @arminunruh, can the corrected Theme file (V 9.5.7) take on the latest updates (9.7.0)? There is no Update package avail with it. Should we re-install original theme file and then update to 9.7.0 - this might break other bits though. What's the safest appraoch. Thank you!
(Excited to test out the new features!)

mh the update should work!

updating shouldn't break the website no
I also code custom websites or custom Lay features.
