October 8, 2017 at 3:53 pm #861576Hey 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,
MikeOctober 8, 2017 at 4:11 pm #861582Hi there Mike!
I would appreciate if you could give me more advice on how to go about with it. Thanks!
Best regards,
JonathanOctober 8, 2017 at 4:23 pm #861583I mean, with this update all of my files that I have modified like functions.php CSS will be lost?

October 8, 2017 at 4:25 pm #861584Hi,
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,
MikeOctober 8, 2017 at 4:58 pm #861596Mike, 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,
JonathanOctober 8, 2017 at 5:07 pm #861600Hi,
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,
MikeOctober 8, 2017 at 5:19 pm #861603Hi,
Error Processing. Have tried couple of time now with same results.
Best regards,
JonathanOctober 8, 2017 at 5:35 pm #861605After 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
October 8, 2017 at 5:59 pm #861611Let 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,
JonathanOctober 8, 2017 at 6:02 pm #861612Hi,
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.

MikeOctober 8, 2017 at 6:45 pm #861630Hi 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,

October 8, 2017 at 7:28 pm #861642Hi,
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,
MikeOctober 8, 2017 at 8:02 pm #861651Hi Mike,
I tried to update the theme with FTP without any luck :( for some reason I can’t upload the new theme. Could you please check my admin page if everything is in order? Thank you!Best regards,
JonathanOctober 8, 2017 at 8:34 pm #861664October 8, 2017 at 8:42 pm #861665Hi Mike,
October 8, 2017 at 9:21 pm #861671October 8, 2017 at 9:54 pm #861677Hi,
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 themeadd_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,
MikeOctober 8, 2017 at 9:59 pm #861678Hi Mike,
Thank you for you help! Just one question. Our footer background was dark and now it is all white. how can I fix this?

JonathanOctober 8, 2017 at 10:05 pm #861681Hi,
Go to Enfold Theme Options > General Styling > Footer tab > Footer background color and choose your colorsBest regards,
MikeOctober 8, 2017 at 10:08 pm #861685Thank you so much Mike for all your help, very kind of you!
