Hi, our website uses Enfold version 4.8.7.1. Our LayerSlider is out of date and I can’t update it because it’s bundled with Enfold. If we decide to purchase/upgrade Enfold for our website, how would that update/change our website? Would it involve a lot of work redesigning/reconfiguring the appearance, widgets, and layouts?
Hey Katy Maurer,
It should likely not change anythings, but I would advise that you update on a staging site first to check the results there first. If that is not a possibility for you, then make sure that you keep backups of your current site in case you should have to restore it. Once you are ready to update then the update to 7.1.1 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 upload the theme as if it was new under Appearance->Themes->Add New Theme.
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
