Hi, i’ve found this procedure in another thred posted by a moderator:
###################################################################
Updating from 4.4.1 to 4.5 via (S)FTP manually works like a charm
However, the steps to get there are quite a lot. Let me describe it step-by-step here:
1) Make a full backup of your website using a backup plugin.
2) Safe the backup somewhere outside from the webserver of your website (e.g. on your local computer or in any cloud storage you trust).
3) Sign out from your WordPress website.
4) Go to your themeforest account, sign in and download the updated Enfold v4.5 to your computer. Extract it and search for the file enfold.zip. Extract this file as well to already have your folder ready to be uploaded.
5) Sign in to FTP or SFTP using FileZilla or any other tool which is able to do that.
6) Go to the folder ./wp-content/themes and search for “enfold”. If you want, you can download the enfold folder to your computer as well (just in case you want to restore if afterwards which is easier like that than using the whole backup).
7) Delete the folder enfold via FTP. This may take 5-10min, depending on the server speed obviously.
8) Wait until it is finished and the enfold folder is gone. If that is the case, upload the “new” enfold folder including v4.5 to your website in the same directory.
9) Sign in to your WordPress website again and go to the Enfold tab (or the one from your child theme). Scroll down to the tab called Theme Update.
10) Your current API token will not work anymore as Envato changed some stuff on their API. Therefore you need to remove your current key and generate a new private key as visible in your themeforest account under “Settings” -> “API keys”. Go to https://build.envato.com and follow the steps there. To me, https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/(Purchase code hidden if logged out) /#toggle-id-5 was also very helpful (scroll down a bit there to find out about the permissions your private API key needs in order to check for future Enfold updates). Without these permissions it will not work.
11) After revalidating your new private key within the Enfold update tab, you should see a blue rectangle saying when it could be checked for the last time.
12) Done!
I hope this helps anybody who has/had issues with updating Enfold to version 4.5.
Feel free to ask me in case you need any assistance.
#######################################################################My question is:
considering that i’m using an Enfold child theme, is this procedure still right?
If yes, I have to apply this procedure only to the “Enfold” folder and not to the “Enfold child”, right?
ThanksDecember 10, 2018 at 5:03 pm #1043169Anyone could help me?
December 11, 2018 at 4:48 pm #1043845Hi liamgall80,
Yes, the procedure is right. But the update procedure is working now, so you can update with the WordPress updater. Of course, you still need to have the backup.
Please let us know if you have any more questions.
Best regards,
VictoriaDecember 11, 2018 at 5:42 pm #1043888No Victoria, i can’t.
The standard procedure still stops, as you can see in the screenshot.
I’ve also changed the Envato API key but it doesn’t work.
What could i do?
ThanksDecember 12, 2018 at 8:55 am #1044185Hi,
Thanks for the update and screenshot. Please send us a temporary admin login and login URL so that we can have a closer look. You can post the details in the Private Content section of your reply.
Also, did you go through these steps to create your token? https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/how-to-install-enfold-theme/#how-to-generate-a-envato-personal-token
Best regards,
RikardDecember 12, 2018 at 9:31 am #1044205Hi, here’s a temporary admin login and pwd.
I’ve already generated a new envato API keyDecember 13, 2018 at 4:46 am #1044673Hi,
Thanks for the details, though we need a URL as well to be able to login.
Best regards,
RikardDecember 13, 2018 at 9:07 am #1044753Oooops, sorry! ;-)
December 14, 2018 at 6:42 am #1045142Hi,
Thanks for that, though I see that you are still running 4.4.1, that means you have to update to 4.5.1 manually unfortunately. The new tokens will only work from version 4.5 and up.
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 you need help then we need FTP details as well and verification that you have proper backups of the site.
Best regards,
RikardDecember 14, 2018 at 9:28 am #1045174Ok, thanks!
RegardsDecember 15, 2018 at 7:09 am #1045555Hi,
Thanks for the feedback and sorry again for the problem. Please let us know if you should need any further help on the topic or if we can close it.
Best regards,
RikardDecember 15, 2018 at 7:06 pm #1045697I’ve updated to 4.5.1 following the FTP procedure.
Everything’s ok, thanks!
