 * I have the old Sydney theme running and use a child theme. I see that there is
   an update to the Sydney theme but it shows a completely new look and front/home
   page that I do NOT want. If I do the requested update will the new black front
   page replace my front page? Tx.

 * Hi [@glabow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/glabow/),
 * Sydney latest update contains different styles for modern layout and excludes
   old layout. So it won’t retain your old layout.
 * However, in case you want to reproduce old layout, you’d need to add your own
   custom CSS code. Ref: [https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/wordpress/css/](https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/wordpress/css/)
