    Hi Rikard,
    I have tried to update manually via FTP to 4.5 several times, but each time the site breaks and my child theme edits don’t appear. I usually use Child Theme Configurator to set up the child theme. I have a number of Enfold parent theme sites that need updating. Perhaps you could help me do this and then explain ALL the steps so I can do it for myself? I’ve followed all the links for manually updating via FTP but I always end up with a child theme conflict.

    Site information is in private content.

    Thanks!
    Gabe

    Here is how I finally got it all to work
    There is a problem with Envato and this requires a different way of updating for this version. Here is how I did it and it worked fine for me:
    the easiest and quickest way to update to v4.5 is if you have CPanel access to your site:

    1. Download the “Installable WordPress file only” from your Themeforest account

    2. Login to your website’s CPanel – normally found at yourwebsite.com/cpanel

    3. Open File Manager and navigate to the \wp-content\themes\ directory of your website

    4. Rename the Enfold folder to Enfold-old

    5. Upload the ZIP file you downloaded in step 1 to \wp-content\themes\

    6. Extract the ZIP file you uploaded in step 5 to \wp-content\themes\

    7. Delete the ZIP file you uploaded in step 5

    When you check your website’s WordPress admin you will be updated to v4.5.
    The previous version of Enfold will still be there – you can delete this if you are happy that the update has worked okay.

    Hi Gabe,

    Thanks to @elames for sharing his finding, did you try those steps out @connect4consulting? We can help you out updating, but if the update breaks your child theme then it might be better to update on a staging version first so that you won’t compromise your production site?

    Best regards,
    Rikard
