    Hey sybille gburek,

    You can change your logo in the main page of the theme option, and you can set your and create your own menu under Appearance->Menus.

    Best regards,

    Thanks alot for your reply. Thats interesting and I am sorprised as I had to pay for support to hear that I simply have to change what WAS CORRECTY before! How can this be? is it normal like that? Is that how the support works? I would call it very clever…
    Is my theme up to date? Thanks

    Hi,
    themeSG I assume that you are also sybille gburek for us it looks like two different users.
    So assuming that germandirect.org is your site, if so it is v4.2.1 we are now at 6.0.2. so you must update.
    Does your site look correct now? I’m not sure. I assume that you have not modified any theme files as it looks like you are not using a child theme, if you know that some theme files were modified by a developer then these modifications will be lost. I doubt this, but must tell you.
    OK, so at your point I recommend first creating a staging site to test on, most cPanel webhosts have a staging site option, some in the dashboard:

    Others add the option in the Softaculous WordPress Management

    There may be other staging site options in different cPanel servers, these are the two that I have seen.
    Then you can test the update on your new staging site and your live site will stay online.
    Then to update your version of Enfold you will need to download the latest installable WP version from your Theme Forest account and upload it to your WordPress ▸ Appearance ▸ Themes ▸ Add Themes ▸ Add New

    after you choose the zip file and click install, you will see a This theme is already installed message because you are updating, you can continue
    Installing_theme_from_uploaded_file_This_theme_is_already_installed.jpg
    then you will see the Theme updated successfully message.

    If this staging site works fine then do the same for your live site, if you see errors on your staging site then post the admin login so we can check.
    I don’t think that you will have errors, but it is better to be safe.

    Best regards,
    Mike
