Yes, it is checking whether you’re running the current version and will display a message if an update is available.
I like this theme a lot, it’s good design, and has a lot of tweakable options. I’ve considered donating to the project, because it’s easy to use and has a lot of good features.
That being said, I’m also a bit concerned about the constant connections to wordpress.bytesforall.com within the admin panel.
I understand the importance of keeping the theme up to date, but it connects every time I save an option for the theme. It makes my browser hang every time it connects, too–even though it’s just a local development server.
How can I turn off the constant connections? Thanks for the help, and for the great theme.
