If I have Enfold 4.4.1 and want to update to the latest 5.6.5 ,
do I have to go up incrementally from every version in between or can I just do a major jump to 5.6.5?
That is all I am looking for. Thank you.
Hey thomasianwilson21171,
You should be able to jump to v5.6.5. Afterward you can create a Envato token on your Envato (Theme Forest) account for future updates, as the old API is no longer used.
However I recommend creating a staging site to first test the upgrade on as we don’t know if you have any customizations. If you are using a child theme with a custom header.php or footer.php first remove these as these files have changed and typically will cause errors with an update. We don’t recommend this practice but add your customizations to your child theme functions.php instead.
Most cPanel webhosts have a staging site option, some in the dashboard:
Others add the option in the Softaculous WordPress Management
There may be other staging site options in different cPanel servers, these are the two that I have seen.
To update your version of Enfold you will need to download the latest installable WP version from your Theme Forest account and upload it to your WordPress ▸ Appearance ▸ Themes ▸ Add Themes ▸ Add New
after you choose the zip file and click install, you will see a This theme is already installed message because you are updating, you can continue
then you will see the Theme updated successfully message.
Best regards,
Mike
