Again the BG updates to themes have messed with the colors of the sites. We had this issue 2 weeks ago and it was resolved by pinning the color palette and then changing it and then reselecting the original one.
Jesse and I discussed issues. He said it was something in the React – We use Infinite WP to manage our client sites. I’ve not gone to check all the sites we have built with BG, but I’m going to do so now. Y’all, we are using these for clients who are paying us…I hate to keep finding out that your updates are making sites AFU.
Active Measures, LLC is one of these that is effed up.
I’m going to have Bill our dev roll back to the prior / backup of the site until you can assure me that this is repaired. This is what the site looked like at launch, https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10220030702250555&set=gm.868516426949716
Here is how it appears today:

Thanks for letting us know, I’m working with the developers to make sure we can get this sorted out once and for all. I’ll update you here as soon as we have news on this issue.
Thank you Jesse. We have rolled it back to a backup and prior version.
Hi Cheryl-
Thanks for your patience while we’ve figured this out. Here’s kind of a summary of what happened.
A few versions ago, our developers applied a change that was meant to help your Dashboard run faster by removing the BoldGrid Theme Framework from some areas of the Admin where it wasn’t considered “necessary” to run.
The unintended side-effect that you and a few others ran into was that using certain methods to do your updates, including InfiniteWP, WP Remote, and a few other site management tools, caused the Theme Framework not to run on those updates. That, in turn, caused the theme’s dynamically compiled SCSS code to revert to the theme defaults rather than the ones you customized.
Here’s the kicker that got us though- using an API call to update the theme actually uses the old theme’s update action, not the new one. So, even though the new version of the theme is fixed, it doesn’t do any good, since the old version is broken.
So, here’s what you’ll need to do to say goodbye to this bug once and for all. You’ll need to log into your sites and actually update the themes in the Dashboard > Updates menu. Once you’re on the latest version now, you won’t have the same problem using your InfiniteWP portal in the future.
Jesse,
Logged directly into the first of our Boldgrid sites, did the theme update from the WP dashboard. Update trashed the color palette again. Restored site from backups.
Any other ideas?
