    Hello,

    I’ve been using this theme since October and have found this forum useful for solving my issues without having to post one myself, but I have hit snag I can’t figure out. I have Enfold on three websites, but they’re all on a different version and they all say that they are currently up to date on the latest version of Enfold. One is on 4.0.2, another is on 3.8.4, and then the other is on 3.8.5. I believe only one of the websites has ever really offered the update as well.

    The reason why I want to update is actually because of the layerslider plugin. I put a lot of time and effort to get the slider looking wonderful on the first site and I exported it today to a second site to save my work and to adjust it based on what’s needed for that site. Well, site number 2 is on 3.8.4 and a lot of the necessary adjustments aren’t proving to be editable as expected. I can’t even move the buttons to their correct position. Nor can I adjust the text size. Everything was moved over with empty fields and all the CSS is gone. Upon reading about the slider, I need them to be the same version to ensure it works correctly.

    I have seen in a few areas about updating to the latest version through the FTP files but I’m concerned that’s a lot to go through if I’m overlooking something.

    Thanks for taking the time.

    Hey beckerentcenter,
    Updating with FTP is pretty easy, here’s a video on how: http://vimeo.com/67209750
    But first I recommend making a backup with https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

    Best regards,

    I use backup buddy, I can just use that as I usually do to back it up.

    Hi,

    Backupbuddy is a great plugin, have tested it and it thus backup and restore with ease. I think backing up your site is the first part and updating via ftp is basically just overwriting or replacing the enfold theme files with the new ones. I think it will only get complicated if you have modified the enfold theme without using a child theme, but if you are using a child theme or your enfold theme wasn’t modified, you can just replace the theme and it’s good, the next phase would be testing and checking pages :)

    Best regards,
    Nikko

    Definitely done plenty of customizations, however I am pretty confident they have all been under a child theme. I’ll let you know how it goes when I complete the process.

    Thank you.

    Updated just fine without any issues on the site from it. I would say my issue is resolved, thank you so much everyone!
