I can repro the issue in the OP too. ✋

I don’t think the old style of the theme/theme component page should be accessible through a UI link anywhere? I think they should all point to the new updated ‘config’ version.

I think the links on the admin warnings also send you to the old style as well.

Couple of screenshots for comparison:

Old:

**ETA:**

Ah, I may have misunderstood what you meant when you said the links were right. I’m not sure. 🤔

If so, the only useful info in this post may be that this also happens for the admin warnings on the dashboard too.
