I’m trying to add update functionality to my theme,
i have changed the theme architecture to work with zip file (by using this guide https://discourse.roots.io/t/how-to-make-a-installable-sage-9-theme-zip-file/13299).
when i click ‘Update Now’ after a while i’ve got an error message “Update failed: could not delete old theme”.
the old theme folder has only an empty ‘app’ folder and all the files removed.
Is this on a Bedrock site (independent from the themes)?
Bedrock sites don’t allow writing to plugins/themes on production systems by default.
No, it’s not on bedrock
This looks like a ownership/permissions issue to me:
The theme folder can’t be deleted by the PHP/web process as it isn’t the owner of doesn’t have write permissions for that folder.
Can you check the permissions/ownership of the existing theme folder (e.g. by using a FTP client, as you are limited to a shared hoster)?
