because an enfold folder already exists in the website’s directory. Is there a way to update the theme without deleting the old version?
plus it says I’ve got the lastest version when I try to update through “Theme updates” but I’ve got version 2.4.2 installed and several pages of content are broken
Negative. You must overwrite. If you’re worried about changes and want to test first, you can easily go into the style.css folder and update the theme name at the top and then change the theme folder to match that name. Upload and switch to that theme to see how it looks. If you like what you see… overwrite the original and switch back to the original name.
If it says you have the latest version and you see pages broken, I’d definitely just do a complete overwrite via ftp.
Hey!
I would copy the current Enfold folder to your desktop to save it and then completely delete it from your WordPress theme directory before downloading + uploading a fresh copy from themeforest.
Cheers!
