Just wanted to update to the newest version of the theme via internal update function, but it prompted me to backup certain files. I made a lot of changes to the theme vs. the raw form that I downloaded from themeforest: http://www.flatev.com
Can somebody guide me through on how to make the safest update possible?
thanks a bunch,
Sandro
Hey sandromeyer!
If you’ve modified the actual theme files the only way to safely update would be over ftp and only those files that the version.txt indicates were changed.
If a file you modified was updated you would need to re-add the customization to the new version.
Best regards,
Devin
I did not manually update anything in the files. Just in wordpress. Which files can I even touch from wordpress?
In that case you can update without any issues. For a bit more information see: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/updating-your-theme-files/
The warning about backing up files are for if you’ve modified the actual theme files ( php, css, js files that make up the theme).
