Hi there, please see title.
Inherited an old site, bought a new instance of Enfold since old key was lost to time, theme updates page says the site is “up to date” at 4.5.7.
I cannot get it to update there, or for WP to accept a freshly downloaded zip of the theme. Error shows.
Halp!
Thanks.
Hey smithyoung,
The update to 7.1.1 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 upload the theme as if it was new under Appearance->Themes->Add New Theme.
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/Best regards,
RikardThanks for your rapid response. This is the error I’m getting when uploading the theme zip. Any way to resolve this so I can avoid tearing up the code in FTP? Thanks.

Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme installation failed.
Hi,
Are you sure that you are using the correct file? The package that you download from Themeforest might have to be unpacked on your local machine, then use enfold.zip located in the extracted file.
Best regards,
