Just got a job to migrate a site to new hosting. Looked to move the site, and when I went to move it I noticed they were using a theme from 2017, your 3.85 Lets Grow Enfold? If they purchased the newest version could i then just update, and hope for the best? Needs to be done, is this the best way?
Hey Jake,
While I don’t expect any issues with updating from v3.85 to v7.1.1, I recommend creating a full site backup with your web host backup tool, not a plugin, as good practice.
If they are not using a a Child Theme check the functions.php for any customizations that they may have added, it will be lost in the update. If they are using a child theme, and have any customized php files like header.php or footer.php or any element php files, save these to your computer and remove them from the server before updating. With a version this old they will cause errors, you will need to copy the new version of the files and make the changes to them before adding them to the child theme.
Typically a good practice is to create a staging site first and update it and then compare the two sites for any difference, if this works fine then update the live site.
