Following the release of Xenforo 2.3.11 last week, all existing 2.3 Xenfocus themes have now been updated for 2.3.11.

The update includes a minor change in PAGE_CONTAINER which determines what color scheme is being viewed. The theme updates are now available in the Client Area for all active customers.

Happy upgrading!
 
Hey @Ehren I went to upgrade, selected the Style.xml and went to Styles>Import> selected the .xml, selected overwrite style and selected the parent name, not my child name which usually carries over the changes but I am getting outdated templates still on the page container, down below it it says:

Normally it just goes fine, I even tried the merge and it says "The custom template is out of date but has been edited more recently than the parent. Merging can only be done by hand."

Did something change, I thought that's how I always did it in the past.
 
@Ehren I looked at the code inside the Uniform latest download, and the page container shows:

--xenfocus-version: '2.3.6.1';
--xenfocus-date: 'March 26, 2025';

Did the template not get updated?

Is "Uniform" your child theme, or the parent theme? If it's the child one, make sure you haven't modified the code in the past. If you have, it means it won't automatically inherit the parent code.

You can ignore that code this time. That code is manually updated whenever I make CSS changes. Since this update only required HTML changes, updating those lines in the CSS file completely slipped my mind. Rest assured, your above screenshot is showing 2.3.11 so you're good to go :)

Uniform is my parent, which is the one that I am selecting the new style.xml to overwrite. My custom theme shouldn't inherit the changes from Uniform or the one that I am overriding. I have never changed any templates and only add changes to my Extra.css. It's odd never ran into it before, normally just overwrite the master parent and my child theme inherits it. I thought maybe when I saw the dates that you might had forgot to zip up the new page container and re-ued the old one.

So I just deleted all the themes on my board and left the default Xenforo, and uploaded a fresh Uniform.xml and it still has the error.

I'm having the same issue with Illuminate Pro. I've uploaded the style zip and selected overwrite the Illuminate parent and I get the outdated template warning, and I'm unable to merge. I've never edited/touched the parent, I use a child style of it.
