 * I am looking to update a website and see that it is using a parent theme WP Forge
   by THEMEawesome Version: 99 – this version number does not correspond with any
   in the changelog. Can you point me in the right direction for finding the updated
   theme files? Thank you!

 * Hi there,
 * You can get the latest releases of WP-Forge from here: [https://github.com/ThemeAwesome/WP-Forge/releases](https://github.com/ThemeAwesome/WP-Forge/releases)

 * [@tsquez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tsquez/) Thanks for your reply,
   but what I didn’t understand was the version number – I do not see a Version 
   99 in the changelog? The theme is not showing updates needed, but since the site
   has outdated software, I assume there must be an update needed. Should I be able
   to replace the theme Version 99 with version 6.5.3?

 * Hi there,
 * If you look at the parent stylesheet it states this: Foundation 6.2.3…I have 
   no idea what version 99…that maybe something that a previous developer did or
   added? There is no version 99 of WP-Forge. Maybe they changed the number to keep
   the notice of updates from popping up, this is possible. I have seen this trick
   used numerous times.
 * WP-Forge has followed the versioning of Foundation since 5.2.2.2. Like I said
   all I see in the parent stylesheet is: “Foundation 6.2.3” and the date of “2016”
   in the child style sheet. So I would take this as the files have not been updated
   since then.
 * As per your question of being able to apply the latest version of WP-Forge to
   the site yes you can **BUT** you have to keep in mind there were a lot of changes
   made to Foundation since 6.2.3 version, which was released in 6-25-2016. You 
   may want to test the waters on a demo site and see what will happen if you apply
   the latest version. Honestly I think the last version used on that site is 6.2.3.
 * Sorry I can’t be anymore help. What I would do is copy the site to a demo server
   or local server and then add the actual 6.2.3 copy and see what happens. If everything
   seems fine then I’d go ahead and apply the latest version and make the necessary
   changes. Again, I would tread lightly because the changes between the two are
   very significant.
 * Honestly I would just leave it the way it is, but I would def check and see if
   the 6.2.3 version is the last version used.

 * Thank you, I really appreciate your feedback! Interesting about the version –
   you are probably right which makes me believe an update may not work. I will 
   test the update on a dev site first.
