    Hello,

    I am using Enfold Theme version 4.3.2. I purchased and downloaded the latest version from ThemeForest. I am also using Enfold Child Version: 1.0.

    Question: How do I update the theme now?

    Do I simply delete the enfold folder in “wp-content/themes”? Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any instructions on the website.

    Currently, PHP (7.3.33) is still running, and this also needs to be changed. I would like to take the intermediate step to 7.4 and then to 8.5. Is this possible with the Enfold Theme I am currently using?

    I would be grateful if you could help me.

    Best regards, Erik

    Hey Erik,

    The update to 7.1.4 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 upload the theme as if it was new under Appearance->Themes->Add New Theme.
    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.
    Also please read this after you have updated: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/theme-registration/

    Best regards,
    Rikard

    Hi,

    You can keep the old version just in case, you can rename the folder to enfold-old or something like that. When you can see that everything is working as it should, then it can be deleted.

    Please update the theme first, then the PHP version. The latest version of Enfold should work with 7.3, but since it’s an outdated version, we recommend that you use a more recent and supported version.

    Best regards,
    Rikard

    Hello

    Thanks for the information. I only have the current version of the Enfold theme and Enfold child theme version 1.

    Okay, I’ll rename the current Enfold folder and then install the latest version via FTP.

    The child theme will then automatically access the Enfold folder, right?

    Afterwards, I’ll gradually increase the PHP version to 8.4!

    Hi,

    Yes, you don’t need to do anything with the child unless you should run into any problems.

    Best regards,
    Rikard
