I want to know, what should I do to update Enfold with a Child-Theme. Is there any tutorial? I want to update my Enfod-Theme from 2.5.2 to 2.7 . I use a Child-Theme. In my Theme Options, there is an option “Theme Update” it works with a Themeforest API Key. Now there is a notic “Update Available! A new Version (2.7) of your Parent Theme (Enfold) is available! You are using Version 2.5.2.Do you want to update?“, can I update my actual Enfold-Theme with Child-Theme by this way?
thanks ulrici
Hey ulrici!
You can simply update parent theme. Please see – http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/using-a-child-theme/ & http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/updating-your-theme-files/
Cheers!
YigitHi Ygit
In the explenation video here http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/updating-your-theme-files/ the person isn’t using child theme. How would the manual update work if there were a child-theme installed? Would he still only replace the parent-theme thus “enfold” and “enfold-child” would stay untouched?
Tahnks,
RaphaelHi,
Yes that is correct :) Just replace the main theme enfold and the child theme will be picked up automatically. Please note child theme folder should not be altered manually unless you need to make any changes to it.
Best regards,
VinayHi Vinay!
It has been 4 or so years since you made this comment. I need to update my Enfold theme in wordpress however, the update feature on wordpress’ backend isn’t really working. It says I am up to date with the 4.2 which isn’t true. Seems that I am forced to do a manual update, thankfully I have always worked through a child theme.
I wanted to confirm through here that updating it is as simple as replacing the theme folder for the new update, without modifying the child theme correct? The backup you recommend is to extract all of the domain files via FTP to desktop and export the .sql from the DB?
Thanks in advance.
Hi rfernander90,
The update to 4.7.x 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
