Hi, I need advice on the best way to update Enfold from version 4.2 to the current version. I tried to replace the folders using FTP, and it’s breaking my website. Is there any guidance on how to make the necessary updates manually?
Hey designremedy,
Thank you for the inquiry.
You may want to clone the site to a development domain and do the update there. After upgrading the theme, make sure to toggle or temporarily disable the Enfold > Performance > File Compression settings and purge the cache before testing the page again. What errors do you get when you try to update the theme?
A lot has change since version 4.2, so it is quite normal to encounter a few issues after updating. Please make sure to update the theme regularly to avoid these kind of troubles.
You might want to review the following article and documentation for more info about theme updates.
