My client hasn’t updated their theme in many years and is using 2.4.1. I purchased a new license for him and need to update the site but there’s no “update theme” option to do so (https://tinyurl.com/ynvpskqn). I’ve made a copy of the site already. How can I update the theme without losing everything? Thank you!
Hey jmbernstein,
Assuming that there are no customizations in the functions.php of the parent theme and you are not using a Child Theme, but your WordPress is up to date you can follow these steps:
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.
While I don’t expect any issues with updating the theme, I recommend testing on a staging site first to ensure that it works well.Best regards,
Mike
