    Is there a way of telling when an update to themes are available in Wordpress?
    I have colorway theme. In wordpress it just shows I have version 3.2 active. However in my Inkthemes profile it says there is version 3.2.3 out. How do I know whether I have to update or not? Is there a way on checking in wordpress whether I have 3.2.3 installed?

    Thanks so much!

    Hello,

    Currently this option is not available in our themes, but in future we are planning to add an option to show updates in members area,
    user can login and see updates of themes in there members area.

    But right now you can check about the update of the Theme by follow the steps given below.

    1. Firstly check your existing theme version,
    Go to the Manage Theme tab (Appearance -> Theme) in your dashboard and
    there will you get to see the version of the theme in the top center behind the current theme screenshot(click on link for the reference http://content.screencast.com/users...3e-4f2d-a2e7-abe6ee8e2bbd/2013-03-22_1233.png).

    2. Secondly check the version of currently downloaded theme from members area , Unzip that downloaded file.

    a). Go to the style.css file(Theme directory -> style.css) present in the theme directory, open it , there you will get the version of the theme at the line number 7.

    b). And then go the changelog.txt file (Theme directory -> changelog.txt), open it , there you will see the latest updated version and their changes.

    NOTE: The latest updated version of the Themes are only present in the Members area.
