Hi Team,
I recently had to take over a website from another developer that passed away. He had a client on wordpress 4.8, php 7.4 with the Enfold theme version 4.3.1.
I’ve upgraded wordpress to version 6.2 now, but get an error in the Enfold theme when updating php to v8.
What is the latest version of Enfold – and how can I update it to be compatible with php v8? I unfortunatly do not have any info on the license the previous developer had. If this can be linked up, please let me know – else if I should purchase a new license to get the theme working I will, but I don’t want to charge the client for new development in setting up the content again, so I’m hoping there is an easy way to get the theme up to date and the site on to php8.
Thanks!
Hey,
The latest version of Enfold is 5.5. Updating Enfold would bring up PHP 8 and WordPress 6.1 compatibility.
If the previous developer entered an API key in Enfold theme options > Theme Update, you can try installing the Envato Market plugin (https://www.envato.com/lp/market-plugin/) and inserting the API key in plugin settings to see if you’ll receive the auto-update.
If you don’t, I’m afraid you’d need to purchase a new license (https://themeforest.net/item/enfold-responsive-multipurpose-theme/4519990) and update the theme manually: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/theme-update/.
We’d recommend you update the theme on a staging site first to make sure nothing breaks.
Best regards,
Yigit
