Hi,
What is you advise on best practice for theme and wordpress updates?
Is it worth getting an Envato Private Token or updating manually.
Thanks
Marcus
Hi Marcus,
Yes, it’s worth getting the Envato Private Token as it is more convenient and it’s only a single click.
The advice we give when updating the theme and WordPress updates are:
1. Setup a staging site first and test the updates there first and see if it breaks anything.
2. If all is good on the staging site, make a full backup of your site.
3. Update the theme via:
3a. Theme Updates (Theme Options)
3b. Use Envato Market plugin if theme updates do not work for some reason
3c. Replace the theme via Appearance > Themes
3d. Update the theme manually (via cPanel, FTP, etc)
Best regards,
Nikko
