Hi.
I need help updating Enfold from 4.2.6 to 4.8.1
I was referred to this post: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/theme-update/ by Yigit (#1288563) to guide me to first update to 4.8.1 and after that to generate a personal token by referring to this post: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/theme-registration/#how-to-generate-a-envato-personal-tokenBut I am stuck at step one since there is no notification to update the theme inside WP and when I go to Theme Options –> Theme Update I am requested to enter an API Key. However, the guide on where to find the API Key is outdated and searching the support forum here I understand that Envato/Themeforest has discontinued the use of API Keys and uses tokens instead (#1275157).
So how do I proceed with the update without an API Key or Personal Token, since I need to update before generating a Personal Token?
Hi Hanna,
Please follow the steps below:
Make a backup:
– Site Backup: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/backup-wordpress-site/
– Theme Settings Backup: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/backup-theme-settings/Option 1: Use Envato Market to update your site
– link: https://envato.com/market-plugin/Option 2: Update manually
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.Register the theme by following the instructions in https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/theme-registration/
Once this is done, the next time you update, you’ll only need to go to Enfold > Theme Updates and click on the Update button.Best regards,
Nikko
