 * The theme itself is beautiful and great to set up. Everything works quickly, 
   without issue, and well. The functionality is astonishing, and the pro version
   adds even more. I could not be more pleased.

 * Hi,
 * Sorry to hear about your troubles but looking at your support threads it seems
   that your issue is with a Types update, not with Sydney?
 * Is there any other topic? Note that Sydney hasn’t been updated in a month.
 * Regards,
    Vlad

 * Hi thmoasrg1,
 * I don’t want to assume anything here, but there a couple of questions to specify
   the exact cause of your problem:
    1. Exactly what update was it? Theme update, WordPress update, Plugin update?
    2. Do you know what a child-theme is?
 * _If you are using a child-theme, then please disregard the rest._
 * If the update you mention was a _theme update_ and it completely disregulates
   your sites, it sounds to me that you may be making the custom changes to the 
   ORIGINAL (parent) theme instead of a child-theme. I used WordPress for a couple
   years before I discovered this time-saving, brilliant concept. I hope this may
   help you in the future:
 * If this is the case, please reconsider your rating of this theme as the Sydney
   and Moesia “FREE” themes have benefited me tremendously.
