d5 lite corporate theme keeps updating with strange pictures

[Cathy Castelli]

I purchased the d5 Corporate lite theme a couple of years ago and have been loving it. Twice in the past two weeks, the theme has updated changing my homepage and colors. Through bluehost, I was able to revert to an earlier version of the theme. I understand that I need to create a child theme of the site and activate that, so this doesn’t happen anymore. HOwever, I’m concerned because in the years that I’ve had this website, this has never happened, but now when the theme updates, it doesn’t update with the high quality pictures you have. Instead its pictures of a girl on the beach with all these umbrellas.

I honestly thought my website was hacked, but when I’d go to wordpress and look at the theme, it was the pictures of the girl with the umbrellas.

Is it possible that the theme itself has been hacked? Is anyone else having this problem? Thanks – Cathy

I updated nothing. Something is automatically updating the theme. Here is what it is updating to: https://wordpress.org/themes/d5-corporate-lite/ which looks nothing like what you have here on this site. Is this your update?

I was sure that I purchased the theme. I have been using it for four years, and this is the first time it ever updated on its own. Is there a way I can set it so it won’t update?
