I am not able to update my theme. WP does not show any available updates and when I go to Theme Options > Theme Update it will only take me to the main Theme Options page and I am unable to make any updates. I’m also unable to confirm my API code so I’m stuck.
I have the same problem, probably for a while, but didn’t notice it before. Searching other topics I found this link: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/install-enfold-theme/#reinstall-or-update-using-ftp
Tried it and it went all wrong… The child theme was broken after updating. So now I’ve put the backup back, but still don’t know how to update without messing up my website.
Hi sbonnemort,
Sorry for the problem. 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
