    Hello,

    Please clarify, did you make any changes in the theme source files?

    Hello,

    I see only one our theme – legenda. No child themes are created.
    So have you edited files in the parent theme?
    Please clarify how you created your own customized theme and give us correct WP Dashboard credentials.

    Best regards,

    Hello,

    The credentials are still incorrect.
    If you made changes in the parent theme files then you have to create a child theme http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes and copy modified files to child theme directory.
    After that you can update the theme, but create a backup of the files and database before update.
