I’m taking over a website for a client and it’s been left running version 3.8 of Enfold, which didn’t support PHP beyond 7.0. It’s causing issues with my other sites as I’ve had to drop the PHP down to allow this site to run.
I’ve just bought a licence for Enfold, so that I can update the theme and get the latest PHP restored. I’ve plugged the API in and all seems well, but it’s not giving me the option to update the theme. It just says it’s up to date, at version 3.8. Am I missing something?
Please don’t tell me the only way is to download version 5.0 and install it manually, because the previous developer didn’t use a child theme, so I assume it would wipe out the site content, no?
Thanks in advance.
Hey TheDesignerUK,
The update to Enfold 5.3 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 use a plugin to upload the theme zip file: https://wordpress.org/plugins/update-theme-and-plugins-from-zip-file/
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
