There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

When I try to update automatically it says I will lost any customization.
Does manually updating the theme not delete customization? Help!

We recommend the manual upgrade method. With the auto upgrade method your images will get overwritten. With the manual upgrade method you will still need to move the image files from the previous version but if you have a problem with the new version you can just switch back to the previous. Either method will overwrite changes made to the theme files however.

OK, thank you. Will updating manually change the Atahualpa Theme Options I made in the dashboard?

Theme options are stored in the database not the theme files. Your settings will be preserved.

However you should always do a database backup before an upgrade.
