Automatic updates not working after new theme release?

    Hi team,

    I have been facing an issue where after every new update of the theme, it doesn’t apply automatically. I have to manually update it, which sometimes breaks a few elements until fixed.

    Is there a known issue with auto-updates for some themes or is this something that needs to be enabled from the backend?

    I noticed this especially while running a gaming content site like The Game Spike, where layout consistency is important after updates.

    Any help or pointers would be appreciated!

    You can enable automatic updates for your theme by going into the backend > Appearance> Themes, and then clicking ‘enable automatic updates’ for the theme.

    I’m a little confused by the sentence, “have to manually update it, which sometimes breaks a few elements until fixed”. Wouldn’t an automatic update also risk breaking a few things?

    If all you are looking for is how to enable automatic updates, that is easy. If you are worried about theme updates messing with your website layout, I would keep automatic updates OFF, so that you can test for issues after updating the theme at a time of your choosing.

    Hope this is helpful!

    In addition: there are also plugins that monitor visual changes through updates. An example: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/webchangedetector/
