    Hi guys, thanks for this beatiful theme. I am kinda new to WordPress, but I am trying to learn fast. What I am trying to do is have a duplicate copy of your theme, so that I can try out new ideas without messing with a “stable” design. So what I’ve done is:
    – created a folder for the theme duplicate insidee of /themes folder
    – uploaded mantra theme in there
    – changed the theme name in style.css to reflect the new name (and folder name)
    Then I notice a weird issue: if I change the layout slider for main/side element-width in theme settings, the changes are also applied to the original theme, and viceversa, if I change settings for original theme, they are also applied to the copy.
    I’ve looked around inside theme files, looking for a hard-reference to /mantra folder but I could not find it, or maybe did not have luck at it.. I’m also not exactly an ace with PHP so I thought I’d better ask you.. 🙂 Yep.. waiting for a clue.. Thanks!

    You cannot do this. You’ll need to replace every occurrence of the “mantra” word in all of Mantra’s files to something else.
    It would be easier to create a child theme – http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
