Issue
- I have a theme with an embedded portlet that I have deployed and applied to a site. I updated the configurations of the embedded portlet and deployed the updated theme to the site, but I do not see the updated configurations be applied to the embedded portlet.
Resolution
- This behavior is intended and a product limitation. This behavior occurs as the original configurations of the embedded portlet are written to the database in the PortletPreferences table.
- To workaround this behavior, administrators can write a Groovy Script that deletes old PortletPreferences so that a new record with the updated configurations can be utilized. Please see the javadocs on the PortletPreferencesLocalServiceUtil class for more details.
