Hi! A site we’d built years ago is using a child theme of Enfold version 3.0.8 and running php 5.6.4. We’d like to upgrade the php for security reasons but obviously the jump to php 7 is huge for the theme. What version would we need to maintain our child theme customizations and be able to utilize php 7?
Hi Sarah,
Thanks for contacting us!
We would recommend you to use the latest version of Enfold, WordPress and PHP. Please have a backup and then update Enfold parent theme to the latest version 5.2.1, preferably via FTP – https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/theme-update/, to bring PHP compatibility up to 8.x.
If you have modified header.php or footer.php files on your child theme, you may need to update those files as well.
I hope that helps! Let us know if you have any other questions and enjoy the rest of your day :)
Regards,
Yigit
