    I purchased Enfold again to install as an update. I don’t want to lose any customization done by former developer so I did not uninstall previous version. New version wont install on WordPress.

    Here is the error message I received:

    Unpacking the package…

    Installing the theme…

    Destination folder already exists. /home/lnetwork/public_html/wp-content/themes/enfold/

    Theme installation failed.

    Please help!

    Hey l7network,
    If I understand correctly, you are trying to upload the newest version of Enfold though the WordPress > themes > add new option?
    This will not work to update the theme, We can help, but let me ask if you are using a child theme?
    When you refer to the developer customizing the theme, do you believe that core theme files were edited, or were the theme options used to customize your site? Such a colors, font formatting, general layout, images?

    If you are using a child theme and/or no core theme files were edited, then you can update your theme via FTP, basically you will, look for the “enfold” folder at /wp-content/themes/enfold/ and rename to “enfold-old” then upload the new version as the folder “enfold”
    Please don’t try to overwrite the theme folder, as this will leave old files behind and cause errors.
    Once you have cleared your browser cache and tested that your site is working correctly, you can delete the old folder “enfold-old”.
    If for some reason you want to go back to the old version, simply remove the new folder and change the name of “enfold-old” back to “enfold”

    I would also recommend first making a backup of your site with the tools your webhost provides.
    Please let know if this helps, or if your situation is different, so we can assist further.

    Best regards,
    Mike
