    I have inherited a site that is running Enfold 4.0.4 and I am told I need to upgrade it as it is causing problems where I cant update the content on the site. I do not see an upgrade option in the dashboard is there something I need to purchase to be able to upgrade to the latest?

    Thanks,
    -Jason

    Hi Jason,

    Thanks for contacting us!
    The default process in doing theme updates is going to Enfold > Theme Updates however since Envato has changed from using API key to token, you won’t be able to update it in this way (manual steps below).
    Also, if you have access to the account used to purchase Enfold you can proceed to the steps below, otherwise, I would suggest purchasing one with your account.

    Please backup your site first:
    – Site Backup: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/backup-wordpress-site/
    – Theme Settings Backup: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/backup-theme-settings/
    Then do the following steps:
    1. Login to ThemeForest and download the Enfold theme, right-click over the downloaded zip file and extract/unzip it.
    2. It should generate a new folder, open it and look for the enfold folder
    3. Right-click the enfold folder then zip it, here’s a tutorial on how to create a zip file in windows: https://www.howtogeek.com/668409/how-to-zip-and-unzip-files-on-windows-10/ (this should create enfold.zip
    4. Log in to WordPress as and Admin.
    5. Install and activate a maintenance plugin and put your site in Maintenance mode.
    6. Go to Appearance > Themes, switch to a default WordPress theme like TwentyTwenty then delete Enfold.
    7. Click on the ADD NEW button.
    8. Click on the UPLOAD THEME button.
    9. Click BROWSE and choose enfold.zip file
    10. Click the INSTALL NOW button and switch to Enfold or your child theme.
    11. Remove the maintenance mode then deactivate and remove the maintenance plugin.

    Best regards,
    Nikko
