upgrade from version....

[travellers]

I love that there's an upgrade path from earlier versions of the theme, but have come across a tiny flaw - there's no way for someone who's just upgraded to see what version he upgraded *from*! I figured since I haven't upgraded for a while, I'd run the "Migrate settings from version 3.4.3 or lower", but when I clicked the button I got the message "If you are NOT migrating from 3.4.3 or lower, this can wipe out all your settings! Are you sure you want to do this? This process is not reversible". So.... how do I know if I need to upgrade or not?

Are you kidding? On every page at Suffusion Option, on the top, white on black, is writed Suffusion X.Y.Z. - x,y,z are the numbers of version

No, I'm not kidding. If I was kidding I'd have included a smiley or something. I wasn't asking how to see what version I'm running NOW, since I've just upgraded. Right there at the top it says "Suffusion - 4.0.4". I was asking what version I'd upgraded FROM. From what I can deduce from the "Upgrades" tab, if I've upgraded from an earlier version than 3.4.3, I need to "migrate settings" after I've performed the upgrade. If that's true, then I need to know now what version I upgraded from, right?

Ok, now I understand, you have already upgraded to 4.0.4. No, isn't any method to determine now the previous version of theme... But. after upgrade, you notice any major change on the site? If not, you had a version that not need any migration, the upgrade was automatically (is the case of the site with cars).

See this topic too viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8721&p=35621&hilit=suffusion+version#p35621
Based on your registration date on the forum (that can tell aproximatelly when you start to use Suffusion) I think that you was on a newer version, that not need any migration.

That topic has pretty much the same question as me - sorry, I didn't see it when searching for my answer. Still, it might be a sensible addition to the upgrade then, to have a visual indicator of the version upgraded from, just a short function underneath present version number which shows PREVIOUS version number. It would avoid confusion from people as stupid as me who neglected to note down which version they were on before they upgraded!

This isn't hard to do - it is impossible. WP theme upgrades work by overwriting the existing theme folder. No developer has any control over this process, and there is simply no way to figure out what existed in a location prior to deleting it. WP doesn't keep track of the old version for several reasons, the simplest being that users could go into style.css and change the version number there manually, and then there would be no means for WP to determine what file got changed.

There may be plugins that provide such functionality in a rudimentary form, but you will always have unreliable methods to handle this.

Hmmmm.... hadn't thought of that! Okay well, problem solved for me anyway. Thanks for help
