[Resolved] Changing Theme Name Causes Website to Crash

[Stafer]

Hi, I’m trying to change the name of thema through ftp, but this causes the site to crash.
See below a print of the error, then when I put the original name of the theme again it works correctly.

I’m changing theme name just to hide this line of code: http://prntscr.com/n00z0c

Thank you

Hi there,

this stack explains how to do it:

Please note in doing so that the theme will no longer receive updates from generatepress.

We try to answer all questions within 24hrs generally it is much quicker than this.

Hello again, thanks for the help I managed to change the theme correctly.

A question, when the theme updates I receive some email?
and I can change the name again to update?

Thanks.

the updates for the Theme are pushed from WordPress.org and the only notifications are via the dashboard. Which of course won’t happen for the renamed theme.

All changes are updated here:

And we post major updates in the GP Facebook group:
