Hi!
I have inherited a WP site half finished from a client which hasn't been touched in a year or more.

The Atahualpa theme she likes and is v3.49 - when I tried to update it it said all customisations would be lost.

I think I read that that only refers to actual code changes made and that all the settings in the Options panel would carry over - is that correct even from 349 - 371?

Before I start to complete the site I should update it to the latest version I think!

Thanks
Ernie

Start with a data base backup and then use the theme export option to export the settings (if that function was in the code back then)

Then read thru the 'Atahualpa FAQ' forum about doing a manual update
