Hi!
After trying to update to Enfold version 2017 February 1st – Version 3.8.5, the Enfold theme was deactivated/removed and switched to (standard) Twenty Sixteen theme.
The related error was (more or less): could not remove old theme.
Under “Design” –> “Themes” I get the message:
“Beschädigte Themes
Die folgenden Themes sind installiert, aber nicht vollständig.
Name: Enfold Child
Beschreibung: Das übergeordnete Theme fehlt. Bitte installiere das übergeordnete Theme „enfold“, da du Child-Themes sonst nicht nutzen kannst.”
Do I have to upload Enfold now via https://vimeo.com/67209750 (“Update with FTP”). Will this restore also my installled Enfold child theme?
Thx in advance for any help!

Hi again!
Apparently I have to “Renew support to get help from Kriesi for 6 months” (which costs $ 49,00) to get an answer here. Wow… okay… I understood.
Indeed, the failed update to 3.8.5. managed to delete completely the folder “Enfold” on my server, so I had to reinstall the whole theme by FTP following the instructions via https://vimeo.com/67209750. After that, I activated my (preconfigured) Enfold Child theme and… it works now.

Hey!
No, that is not the case. Forum is just very busy therefore it take a bit longer than usual for us to reply :)
Glad you figured it out!
For future reference, if auto update fails, you can always manually update the theme via FTP – http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/updating-your-theme-files/ :)
Best regards,
