    Hello Kriesi team,

    I’m facing a somewhat delicate situation with a WordPress site that needs to be updated. Currently, the site is running a rather old version of WordPress (4.8.5) with your Enfold theme installed in version 4.0.7, all running on PHP 7.2.

    My goal is to update the site to the latest version of WordPress, the latest version of Enfold, and also upgrade PHP to version 8.2. However, I’m aware that doing this directly may lead to compatibility issues and failures due to the large gap between versions.

    That’s why, before purchasing a new license for your Enfold theme, I’d like to know whether buying it would give me access to previous theme versions as well (intermediate versions between 4.0.7 and the latest), so I can carry out a gradual and controlled update process, minimizing the risk of issues. I would also appreciate any guidance you could provide on how many intermediate versions I should use, and at which stages, following the successive WordPress updates.

    Thank you very much for your attention. I look forward to your reply so I can make an informed decision.

    Best regards

    Hey Elisa,

    I don’t think that updating gradually would make any difference to be honest, I would suggest that you update to the latest version directly. The update to 7.1 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 upload the theme as if it was new under Appearance->Themes->Add New Theme.
    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
