Hi,
We have a very old site that needs updating from 3.5.4 to 4.8
Do you have documentation on the upgrade path and do we require any previous version for a stepped update?
Many thanks
Drew
Hi Drew,
The update to 4.8.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.
Also please read this after you have updated: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/theme-registration/
You might want to consider updating on a staging site first, to see if the update works as it should there.
Best regards,
Rikard
Thanks Rikard, we’ll go ahead and try this.
Many thanks
Drew
