    Hey riwas222,
    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/
    Please note that there are a lot of changes from v4.0.2 to v4.1.2, I recommend creating a clone of your site with: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/ and testing on a localhost before updating your live site.
    Let us know if you would like some advice on doing that.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Hi,
    You can test on your desktop with a localhost app, such as the free version of MAMP for Mac or XAMPP for Windows, or LAMP for Linux
    I use the portable UwAmp on Windows 10
    Once you have installed one of these you can clone (backup) your site with the plugin Duplicator and install it on your localhost, which is the same as if you were using FTP and your browser only your address is http://localhost
    Then you can update, test, make changes, etc with no risk to your live site.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Mike, I have the UwAmp on my win 10, but the Duplicator docent work unless I have the pro version of it… is there any other way to update my theme?

    Best regards,

    Hi,
    What kind of message are you getting at what stage, I use this setup very often with the free version.
    You can manual update with FTP as I pointed above, but some people had issues with the new menu changes.

    Best regards,

    After scanning the site with the duplicator see the print screen. ” A notice status has been detected, are you sure you want to continue?” I clicked yes on it, but and error message after scanning

    Let me ask you one more question Mike. If I use the FTP option to update as show on the video https://vimeo.com/67209750 does it overwrite our CSS, theme, settings? or the the functions.php file?

    Best regards,
    Jonathan

    Hi,
    Oh I see, over 3 gigs. That’s ok just copy manually,
    Using cPanel > File Manger > highlight the files and folders for your site, then use the “compress” option to make a zip and download.
    Then using cPanel > phpMyAdmin > export your database
    In UwAmp > phpMyAdmin > import your database
    Extract your files to UwAmp > www
    Change the database user and password in your wp-config.php to match your UwAmp database settings.
    Then use a search and replace plugin to fix your urls in the database.

    Hi Mike,

    Thank you for all you help. The options you provided are lite too complicated for me to perform I tried several times without any results :(

    I was thinking about the first option you mentioned…manual update with FTP. I just have couple question here: you pointed out that some people had issues with the new menu changes… what kind of issues are we talking about?

    and does the manual update mess up with my current child theme? Do I have to go thru this process every time a new update is available?

    Best regards,
    Jonathan

    Hi,
    The theme update will not touch your child theme, it’s good to hear you are using one.
    The main menu changes removed classes from menu items, and changed the mobile menu child items, if you used custom css to control these we will help you with new css. It looks like you didn’t though.
    I can read your version.txt, it seems fine. But you can skip that part.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,

    Hi

    #861677

    Hi,
    OK I uploaded your update. You had some issues like your child theme was not official and it was broken, your Enfold theme had a child theme inside, etc.
    if you look via FTP:
    Your new Enfold is enfold-new
    your old Enfold is enfold
    your child theme is enfold-child linked to enfold-new
    I left your old enfold should you need some old custom code, I don’t think you will.
    You had this in your child theme so I added it to the official child theme

    add_filter('pms_output_subscription_plan_action_cancel', '__return_empty_string');
    add_filter('pms_output_subscription_plan_action_abandon', '__return_empty_string');

    See the Private Content area for your old theme export, I used it to import your settings.
    Hope this helped :)

    Best regards,
    Mike
