    Hey Shiv722,
    Try to update manually via FTP: https://vimeo.com/67209750
    Or: http://kriesi.at/archives/the-complete-guide-to-updating-enfold
    I recommend backing up with: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

    Best regards,
    Mike

    So my only concern here would be that i would loose all my generic settings? Is that the case?

    I have backed up my entire site. Why wouldnt the update from Enfold Theme Settings work correctly? This is a recent update and i am not using a outdated version…

    Is there anything you can do on your end before i have to do this via FTP as i am not too comfortable with that

    Hi,
    You won’t lose your settings as they are stored it the database and you are updating the files, you are doing the same steps as the auto update would do. But, just like the auto update, if you have made changes to your functions.php file or any other core files you will lose those. In the future if you do edit those files you should use a child theme. Read about using a Child Theme
    Your error seems to be a permissions issue, in which the theme can’t create a temp folder to download the update. There is a good chance that a plugin is blocking it, or a security setting in your cPanel, or your folders permissions.
    Hope this helps explain :)

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Hi,
    I just looked and your theme is up to date, Enfold 4.1.1
    It looks like you did it :)

    Best regards,
