 * I am using your theme Extendable. Thank you very much for it. It is exactly what
   we need – a simple theme without too much clutter, but with some pre-built styles
   and templates – to use as a base for a custom site.
 * My question. On the theme edit screen it says “Auto Updates Enabled”. However;
   we are using a child theme (for certain customisations). Will your theme still
   update, even if it is not the active theme?
 * Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fupgrades-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hey, 
   Thank you for your kind words! We’re glad to hear that you’re finding the
   Extendable theme a good fit for your project.
 * To answer your question: Yes, the Extendable theme will still receive updates
   even if it’s not the active theme, as long as it’s installed on your site and
   auto-updates are enabled. WordPress handles theme updates independently of which
   theme is currently active.
   Thanks
