I’ve not looked, but the 3.7.1 announcement page seems to imply that Automatic Updates is one of the new features. Not sure if you have to set that or not. * Personally, I would not recommend your approach as updates not only provide new features (OK, you may not need them) but they do fix bugs, including security issues. * Bootstrap files are included in the core theme as minified code and you do not need to touch them. * Thread Starter [umerkakar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umerkakar/) * (@umerkakar) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stop-updates/#post-4399033) * Hmmmm. thanks for reply. * [Edde Poon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/partyforeplay/) * (@partyforeplay) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stop-updates/#post-4399034) * The best option would be to make a child theme so you dont have to worry about updates. * Try to utilize it.[Child Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) * Thread Starter [umerkakar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umerkakar/) * (@umerkakar) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stop-updates/#post-4399037) * NO I know about child themes. I am best in HTML & CSS but not in php. I want to convert my HTML Templates to wordpress premium themes. But I look frameworks. At the end I like to customizr and cherry from template monster. I reject cherry because it just best for child theme not to use it in theme. SO I choose customizr for work. But some questions in my mind. So, I want to completely remove the update portion or redirect it to my new theme. As I update them then user get update option. So, it is confirmed that customizr will get credit. And I wana need credit form theme appearance. * Thanks if anyone give me his/her best suggestions. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stop-updates/#post-4399038) * You would need to fork Customizr and create a completely new (copied) theme. But do remember to credit the original developer in your new theme. * Thread Starter [umerkakar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umerkakar/) * (@umerkakar) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stop-updates/#post-4399039) * Yes I need this esmi. But still one thing, how to disable customizr from link to original theme update process. And then connect it to new modified theme for update, if I update in that theme?? Its a big question in my mind * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stop-updates/#post-4399043) * > how to disable customizr from link to original theme update process * By creating a new theme as I explained above. * > connect it to new modified theme for update * Only themes hosted on wordpress.org are part of the update system. You would need to build your own update system for your own theme. * Thread Starter [umerkakar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umerkakar/) * (@umerkakar) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stop-updates/#post-4399045) * Means in 1st step I just replace theme name. And this will disconnect from theme updates. * So, if I did’t want update section so I don;t want to create it. * Means I can play with customizr without any issue. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stop-updates/#post-4399111) * Yes. When you fork (copy) the theme, you will need to change both the theme’s folder name and its name instead the style.css file. * Thread Starter [umerkakar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umerkakar/) * (@umerkakar) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stop-updates/#post-4399112) * thanks esmi.
