Hi!
I use Enfold during 6 years and I am very glad about that!
I decided to update to PHP 7 but I realise that the theme version 3.08 has problems. The issue is that if I update the PHP version to 7 then I cannot even enter my wp-admin area. Which is the correct workflow for acheiving PHP 7 and latest enfold version?
Thank you!
Hey ksakkos,
Switchback first in PHP 5.6 since Enfold can still work in that version.
Then backup your site before doing any updates, then update WordPress.
Also since you are still using Enfold 3.08 most likely you can’t update to the latest version in Enfold > Theme Update since envato has already changed their API, so you’ll have to do these process:
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Nikko
Thank you! And after I do this I can switch to PHP 7?
It tells me that the folder already exists…
Hi,
Please try to upload the new version to a new folder via FTP under wp-content/themes/ instead, you can name the folder enfold_new for example. Then you can try to activate it and update the PHP version. If everything works out ok then you can delete the old folder and rename the new folder to only enfold. https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/install-enfold-theme/#ftp-install
