Hello,
I am helping a friend with his website. He has an old version of the Enfold theme that needs to be updated to work with the lates recomended PHP version. He has no access to the acount with wich it was originally perchesed.
The current version installed is 4.1.2.
We would like to purchase an update – will it work to buy a new license with teamforest and updating with the API key via the theam settings panel?
Hey Gerry,
Getting a license is the first thing that you should do, it can be purchased at Themeforest. Once you have access to the theme files, then the update to 7.1.1 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
