    hi,
    i have read a lot about on this forum about the problem to update from 4.4.1 to 4.5.

    As I’m not in a hurry and have many sites using enfold that works fine, I do not want to risk losing some customization with overwritting

    I just want to know if Kriesi will propose soon a simple solution to update from wp ( for example an interim update – 4.4.2 ;-).

    Best regards,

    Stan

    I am also having the same problem updating at all, let alone to 4.5. My update has been stuck at 4.2 and I have been waiting for an update that allows me to do it from the dashboard but nothing yet. I get the following error when trying to update:
    “An error occurred while updating Enfold: Download failed. Problem downloading theme”
    Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

    Hi,

    Yes, we can help you solve the problem, it’s included in version 4.5 so all you need to do is to update to that. Please refer to my replies in this thread: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/enfold-4-5-theme-update-update-failed-download-failed-a-valid-url-was-not-pro/#post-1021541

    The following steps will solve the issue:

    1. Download the latest Enfold update from themeforest
    2. Open the admin part of your wordpress site and download the pluging called Update Theme and Plugins from Zip File
    >make sure you select the option within this plugin to generate an automated backup from your current theme
    3. Go to themes, upload the entire enfold zip-file and install the new theme (do not delete any old theme from the theme overview)
    > the plugin will update the theme without overwriting any other things; it justs updated the theme.
    4. Activate the theme

    Hi Rikard,

    I have seen that many people have various problems with the particular procedure for updating and i know you are doing your best.

    As said I have several sites, I’m not in a hurry to update, and I do not want to take the risk of corrupting my sites and spend lot of time doing this.

    So my initial question in this topic was to know if Kriesi was going to propose a simple solution to update from wp ( as an intermediate version that includes the correction).

    best regards

    Hi sdesign-web,

    This kind of solution will be available, but we do not have an ETA for it, unfortunately.

    So if the update is critical, you’ll need to do it via FTP, if not, please wait.

    Best regards,
    Victoria

    Hi Victoria,

    Do you still confirm that if i wait there will be an alternate and full secure way to update my 4.4.1 enfold live sites to 4.5 ? because i have read on the forum that there will be no other solution than the manually update.

    Best regards,

    Hi coolwindinc,

    The update to 4.5 has to be done manually unfortunately, please refer to my replies in this thread: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/enfold-4-5-theme-update-update-failed-download-failed-a-valid-url-was-not-pro/#post-1021541

    You can either update manually via FTP: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/how-to-install-enfold-theme/#theme-update, or use a plugin to upload the theme zip file: https://wordpress.org/plugins/update-theme-and-plugins-from-zip-file/

    Also please read this thread: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/updating-to-enfold-4-5-and-validating-personal-token/
