    Hey, after importing all of the demo pages, etc. and most of these pages have the status as “Published. The customized pages I’m using on the Live Site I keep that published, that’s fine.

    But what about those other unused template pages? I usually like to keep them in case I need to refer to it for future use. So how can I prevent these unused published template pages from showing on Google Searches?

    Do I set each of these unused page to Private? Or Draft? etc? Let me know. Thanks.

    Hello,

    It’s not related to theme.

    Alright, Thanks.

    Btw, I received an email notification of a new theme update available. I just logged on to my WP Admin and no theme notification is indicated. Currently I have v6.2 installed using child theme.

    This issue has happened before.

    Hello,

    Go to Dashboard > Updates > press Check Again button to force the check of theme and core plugin update. Maybe your server or WP configuration in a way to prevent checking of the new updates, not sure.

    Well the WP Admin Update notification shows today, but it didn’t showed yesterday. Seems to be a delay from the time I receive the Envato Royal Theme Update email notification to when it shows in my WP Admin of the theme update available.

    Alright Thanks.
