 * Hi there. I have a pending Simple:Press update and some theme updates for Simple:
   Press, too. This plugin disables the Simple:Press update, which is great, but
   I can’t get rid of the theme updates (they don’t show in the Themes section of
   Updates Manager, either).
 * Any suggestions? I tried to ask there, but I can only view their forum, not ask
   an actual question. 🙁

 * Hi Ron. I emailed the zip file to the address you supplied, but I never got a
   response. Did you receive it? I sent it Apr 15.

 * Sorry about that. Never got it. Make sure it’s ronalfy [@] gmail.com. Email is
   obfuscated here so I assume you can put the pieces together. Reply when you’ve
   sent it and I’ll confirm if I got it or not.

 * I’ll try to take a look at this either tonight or this weekend.

 * Okay, so I don’t think this is fixable after looking at the plugin.
 * The plugin installs themes in its own theme’s directory, not in the `/wp-content/
   themes/` directory, which is the directory WordPress scans for themes.
 * The themes are actually in: `/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes`.
 * Since the plugin’s themes aren’t even remotely in the format WordPress needs 
   for determining theme updates, I’m afraid a solution to this isn’t currently 
   possible.
 * Sorry for the bad news.

 * Thank you for looking. Do you think I could do anything in ftp or too risky?

 * I think it’s too risky personally.

 * Ok fair enough. They had something saying you can change the path of where those
   things are stored, so I tried to changed it where the other WP themes are, and
   got an error until I changed it back.
 * Thank you for trying to help!
