Comment on How to Update WordPress Themes by SEO Dave.

Stallion Responsive WordPress Theme A few customers have reported this issue previously, it’s in code I didn’t write (basically a plugin for adding updates to premium themes) and I’ve not been able to find the exact cause or a solution.

Here’s other comments on this (no solutions I’m afraid):

One of the Stallion theme users asked at http://w-shadow.com/blog/2011/06/02/automatic-updates-for-commercial-themes/ about the issue and the plugin author responded:

Are you using a persistent object caching plugin (e.g. Memcache or similar)? Some of those plugins can unintentionally change the load order of database options, which would cause problems like this.

Another customer with this issue I was helping via email told me Hostgator fixed the issue, but didn’t go into any details what they fixed.

The quick solution is to use FTP to update Stallion when the built in theme update doesn’t work.

Sorry again about the delay responding, wasn’t intentional.
