Hi,
I just updated my WP from 4.7 to 5.2, and noticed that it seems to force it’s own WP builder over the Avia building, which makes me scared to touch any existing pages at the moment in the fear of breaking the site. I tried to make a new page just to see what it would look like and I can’t see the Avia builder at all.
I’m still on Enfold 4.4.1 and haven’t updated it yet because I read on here that it has to be done manually?
Does the new 4.5.7 fix this issue? After some more searching on this forum, I read that this is an issue with Avia and WP 5+ and that I need to switch my theme to classic mode? But when I click on Enfold > Theme Options, I don’t see any option for a classic mode. Nor when I go to Appearance > Themes.
What’s the best move here?
Hey gtsomething,
Yes, updating to 4.5.7 would enable you to activate the Classic Editor in the theme options. The update to 4.5.x has to be done manually from the version you are running, 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/
If that doesn’t work then please try to delete the whole theme folder, then replace it with the new version. Make sure that you have backups of the site before starting updating.
After you have updated then try to activate the Classic Editor in the main page of the theme options.
Also please read this after you have updated: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/theme-registration/
Best regards,
Rikard
