 * Hi,
 * Im having problems when updating one of my sites.
    I can’t do it automatically
   but thats not a problem I only downloaded it and updated it manually.
 * I’m using a rockettheme that I have modified the background and some other stuff.
   
   But after the upgrade my theme is totally trashed, the background is gone, the
   menys are wrong… I have tried deactivated the theme manually returned the backup
   one and then reactivated it, but still its trashed… Anyone has any suggestions?

 * really don’t see how an upgrade would trash the theme unless it simply isn’t 
   ready for wp 3.0.x series – maybe there is an update for the theme?
    If your 
   mods were in the `functions.php` of the theme – even a theme upgrade would not
   trash the theme
 * in the future you may want to consider using child themes – no chance of trashing
   your look then

 * No neither do I.
 * This didn’t happen on my other site where I have the same theme but it hasn’t
   been altered by me.
 * But just as you say I don’t understand why it would interfere with my theme at
   all…
 * I have done so that you can see my homepage and also the updated one.
    The only
   thing that has been done is the update!!
 * The untouched is [http://wcgolfers.se](http://wcgolfers.se)
    and the updated 
   is [http://wcgolfers.se/test](http://wcgolfers.se/test)
 * weirdest thing is I tried clicking around the test site and as soon as you leave
   the first page everything is working even the first page…
    But its always [messed]
   up at the first attempt from every computer…I don’t understand a thing 🙁

 * it does the same from my computer
    I don’t even have a guess as why except maybe
   it isn’t redirecting properly the 1st time from `http://skuggan.kicks-ass.org/

 * But why is it only redirecting faulty the first time?if you hit home you will
   get a perfectly correct pageload…shouldnt that be the same file??

 * I have been using a theme for a while, but now I have received a message that
   the theme is broken, missing a style sheet. I uploaded a new copy of the theme,
   but the broken message persists and I can’t use the theme. Any ideas?
