    Deprecated: contextual_help is deprecated since version 3.3.0! Use get_current_screen()->add_help_tab(), get_current_screen()->remove_help_tab() instead. in /home/catswebw/public_html/mycliff.org/wp-includes/functions.php on line 5148

    That is the PHP error I see on the back end even after updating Enfold parent theme to the latest version, which by the way should have happened automatically and did not for some reason. Maybe we need to renew the license, but I was able to download the latest version and manually replace the /enfold/ folder via FTP.

    Also, is there a better way to update the parent theme without having the website be down for 8 minutes while files are uploading?

    And lastly, could this PHP error be adversely impacting the contact form? We are using contact forms 7 on this page:

    Hey Catherine,

    You don’t need to renew the license. You need to update php to php7.2 or higher and rewrite the enfold folder over FTP, remove the old folder and upload a new one.

    Thanks Victoria. So the best procedure to update would be:
    download and rename the new theme folder to /enfold2/
    upload /enfold2/ to the theme folder
    delete the old /enfold/ theme folder
    rename /enfold2/ to /enfold/

    That would be faster, but still would cause some down time.

    Hi,

    You could upload the theme to a folder called enfold_new for example, once the upload is done then you rename the old theme folder to enfold_old, and the new folder to only enfold. That should now cause any down time at all.

    Best regards,
    Rikard
