Using Godaddy/Wordpress for hosting etc. Updates in wordpress show that the theme is “up to date” but I know it’s not because I only have version 4.2 and I know the latest is 4.7. ALSO, when I try to edit visually, it converts everything into a block of code. I think this might be BECAUSE of the theme not being up to date but I can’t figure out how to update it. Please help!
I believe from that version to current (4.7.3 as of today), you’ll have to FTP in and do it manually…
Hi cornerstonewealth,
Sorry for the problem. The update to 4.7.x has to be done manually from the version you are running, please refer to my replies in this thread: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/enfold-4-5-theme-update-update-failed-download-failed-a-valid-url-was-not-pro/#post-1021541
You can either update manually via FTP: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/how-to-install-enfold-theme/#theme-update, or use a plugin to upload the theme zip file: https://wordpress.org/plugins/update-theme-and-plugins-from-zip-file/
If that doesn’t work then please try to delete the whole theme folder, then replace it with the new version. Make sure that you have backups of the site before starting updating.
After you have updated then try to activate the Classic Editor in the main page of the theme options.
Also please read this after you have updated: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/theme-registration/
Best regards,
Rikard
