# GREAT Theme, Weird Plugin Update Problem..

 * HI,
 * First to say, love this theme. Very elegant and easy to use.
 * However, I have something weird happening. Every time any of my plugins has a
   pending update, the website reverts to an older version of the Ignite layout,
   with an older post and some missing elements in the sidebar.
 * When I go into the WordPress dashboard and run the updates… and then go back 
   to the website… it’s suddenly the newer, improved version again. Note, this happens
   even when there is NOT an Ignite Theme update due. And it happens with ALL plugins
   that have pending updates, no matter what.
 * Anybody have any ideas what might cause this and how to fix it?

 * Jack,
 * Thanks for using Ignite! This is a strange issue indeed, but I’m sure we can 
   get to the bottom of it.
 * The next time a plugin update is available and the site reverts, try deactivating
   all of your plugins. This can be done quickly by using the Bulk Actions dropdown
   at the top of the Plugins page. Check to see if the theme switches back to the
   new version with the plugins deactivated, and reactive them one-by-one until 
   the issue returns.
