Good morning, I am writing from Italy and this text is translated through AI.
Kindly, I wanted to know how to update the Enfold theme to the latest version.
I have inserted the code for Enfold theme recognition in WordPress, but the automatic update has not been done.
For my website, I use the child theme, and I do not want to create any problems with the update procedure.
Could you explain to me how to proceed without risks?
I have already downloaded the latest version of Enfold, and I was thinking of installing it in WordPress via “Upload Theme” > “Choose File” without activating it, so as not to modify the current child theme in use.
Is this procedure correct, or do I need to use another one?
Thank you.Hi,
Currently, I’m using version 5.1.2, but I have already downloaded version 5.3.1.1. I have the zip file on my computer.Hi pegaso6262,
You can reduce the risk by doing the following:
First make a backup
– Site Backup: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/backup-wordpress-site/
– Theme Settings Backup: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/backup-theme-settings/Second setup a staging site, some hosting provider offer an option to create a staging site via cpanel, if your webhost does not have it on your cpanel then you can use plugins, please check this article: https://wpengine.com/resources/what-is-a-staging-site-why-have-one/#How_to_Create_a_Staging_Site_for_WordPress
Once you have setup a staging site, please proceed to update the stage site in order to test if it will mess up your site or not:
Option 1: Use Envato Market to update your site

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.If update is successful on the staging site then please proceed to update the live site.
If update is not successful then, please give us temporary admin access to your staging site and we’ll try to check further.Best regards,
NikkoThank you, I will try to follow what you have indicated to me, I will start with the test site and then I will let you know. Best regards.
Hi,
Thanks for the update. Please let us know if you should need any further help on the topic, or if we can close it.
Best regards,
RikardPerfect, successful update. I backed up the website, then created the staging site, updated the staging site, and once I verified that no problems had arisen, I updated my official site.
Thank you.
For future updates, will I have to proceed in the same way or will they be automatic through the association of the Envato token with my WordPress site?Hi,
It should be automatic from now on, make sure that you register your theme license though: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/theme-registration/
Best regards,
Rikard
