Hello,
I installed the 4.5 version of wordpress, but I have problems with the current enfold version (masonry gallery and sliders aren’t working).
The “Envato toolkit” shows me that there is a new version of Enfold (3.5.2), but if i update it I will lose any customisation I have made on my website.
Any suggestions about how to upgrade without losing these customisations?
Thanks a lot!
April 15, 2016 at 11:10 am #614716It is in General (not only for enfold) a good advice to have a child theme installation for wordpress!
There is a nice online documentation (or on your envato complete Download of Enfold an offline Version) for Enfold here:
http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/Here is a little tutorial for enfold child theme: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/using-a-child-theme/
On Download Section there is a downloadable Child-Theme of Enfold with at least a (on default) empty functions.php (for that child theme)
Some files in the wordpress hierarchy do not overwrite the existing ones but they can add information and rules to the original files of the theme itself. One of those Files is the functions.php. So here on board there are a lot of customization hints by adding some code to that child-theme functions.php !If you activate first the parent theme and after that the child theme – there are some options to transfer the settings of the parent theme to the child theme. Read and see the tutorial mentioned above on “Moving to a Child Theme”
One of the greatest benifits of Child-Theme Installation is that on updating the parent theme those customizations of your child theme are not influenced !
April 15, 2016 at 11:19 am #614720On updating your theme files i allways uses the ftp manual version. See here on http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/updating-your-theme-files/
Scroll down to : “Update manually via FTP” and have a look to the video

I have created a new child-theme for my website, then upgraded with the new enfold version but masonry gallery and sliders still don’t work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
