    Hi, I got task to update old website with Enfold theme Version: 3.6.1

    Is the latest 4.8 compatible with 3.6.1 styles and settings. Or it might require to redo all the website?
    What would be the best way to approach the upgrade?

    Thank You!

    Hey Mindaugas,
    Thank you for contacting us, the styles & settings should be compatible, but v4.8.6.5 needs PHP v7.4 and WordPress v5+
    I recommend creating a staging site of your live site if you can, this is an option in most cPanels to create a staging clone of your site so you can test on it and your live site will stay up and running. You can always ask your webhost to help you with setting this up if you want.

    Here are some screenshots of what it would look like:
    staging-1.jpg
    staging-2.jpg

    Then via FTP look for the “enfold” folder at /wp-content/themes/enfold/ and rename to “enfold-old” then upload the new version as the folder “enfold”
    Please don’t try to overwrite the theme folder, as this will leave old files behind and cause errors.
    Once you have cleared your browser cache and tested that your site is working correctly, you can delete the old folder “enfold-old”.

    Best regards,
    Mike
