    Hi,

    I’d like to upload the enfold update into a folder with a different name and then activate it. If I do this will I lose my theme settings? Also, if I change the name of the current theme folder will I lose my settings? What’s the best way to go about changing the folder name of the current theme?

    Thanks so much.

    Hi jgoldberg1983!

    Yes, if you change the folder name then wordpress will see the theme as a new set of options in your database. From our end, there isn’t anything we can do to change that.

    Cheers!

    @Devin, For reference, yes there is… You can add a “backup theme settings” feature to your theme settings… Many other themes have this now.

    Unfortunately that still isn’t an option for the immediate answer. And while it is something we are planning on adding it is not in place right now.

    Thanks Devin. Does it matter what the theme folder is called (ie should I just leave as the developers set it “enfold_update”)? Or can this be cause of slow performance etc? ie Does the theme look specifically for the folder name “enfold” to be containing it?

    Really appreciate the insight.

    Hi!

    No, our framework doesn’t care about the folder name at all. You can use any folder name as long as the characters are do not break the url.

    Regards,
