Hi all, hope you are having a fabulous day!

I am wondering how to update a theme to its current version.

My theme is a custom sub-theme based off of the popular Zen theme. Zen released a new version, and now every time I go to the administer page, Drupal gives me an "Updates Available " warning... with Zen being the only update.

I downloaded the newest version and I installed it in similar manner to that of a module.

1) I changed themes to a different non-Zen based theme.
2) Cleared the cache.
3) I deleted my theme folder and the zen folder.
4) I felt like clearing the cache again, so I did. :P
5) I uploaded the newest version of the Zen theme and my theme (I made no changes to my theme).
6) I enabled my theme and cleared the cache.

BUT the same "Updates Available" warning shows up! And it points to the Zen theme.

I would appreciate any help you could provide. THANKS! :)

Strange, and which version of Zen does it give you as installed on the "updates available" page?

I found an acceptable temporary solution until I am done with designing my theme.

In my theme's .info file, I changed the statement
version = "6.x-1.0-beta3"
to match Zen's current version:
version = "6.x-1.0"

I did this without changing the rest of the .info file. The problem is just temporally solved until I finish the design of my theme.

Thanks for your feedback! I appreciate it. Hope others will find this useful.
