A user is unable to update the Symmetry theme from version 6.0.0 to 6.0.3 in Shopify. The theme section incorrectly shows the older version as the latest available update.
Key Issue:
When attempting to update via the dropdown menu, version 6.0.0 appears as the current “latest” version
Adding version 6.0.3 manually creates it as a separate new theme rather than updating the existing edited version
Theme developers confirmed this is a Shopify platform issue, not a theme problem
Troubleshooting Attempted:
Cleared browser cache and cookies in both Chrome and Safari with no success
Contacted Shopify support directly, but received no response for three weeks
Current Status:
The issue remains unresolved. Another user has since reported experiencing the identical problem with the Symmetry theme, suggesting this may be a broader platform bug affecting multiple stores.

I’m reposting as the last response to my previous thread was unhelpful, the respondent did not read the question properly, and I’m not receiving any new responses.
I’m experiencing an issue with updating the Symmetry theme within Shopify- Shopify’s theme section [under online] incorrectly indicates an older version is the latest version. I have chatted to the theme developers and they are positive this is a Shopify Problem. The unpublished site is version 6.0.0, I would like to update it to 6.0.3. When I select the drop-down, it indicates:
I have been able to add 6.0.3 within the theme listing page but it appears as a new theme and has not affected the edited version incorrectly indicating it is the latest version. I haven’t made any coding changes. Please help.
If the Shopify theme section is indicating that an older version is the latest version, despite the theme developers confirming that a newer version is available, then it is likely a Shopify problem.
To troubleshoot this issue, you can try clearing your browser cache and cookies, and then check if the latest version of the theme is available. If the issue persists, you can try updating the theme using a different browser or device.
If none of these steps work, you may need to contact Shopify’s customer support team for further assistance in resolving the issue.
I have tried clearing the cache and cookies. In both chrome and safari. Sadly it’s made no difference. I have reached out to Shopify, and they last responded three weeks ago. I am trying this public thread in the hopes someone can help, as Shopify is sadly not responding at all to direct support messages from me.
