On each theme, we have a special plugin name: themename-framework, such as with MEGATRON: megatron-framework, with DARNA: darna-framework…and respective.
Without these plugins, the theme won’t work properly. When update theme to version higher, you need to update this plugin to ensure that you don’t run into any compatibility issues with the latest version of G5Theme.
