Hello!
My client is using Enfold Theme Version 3.0.4. We are currently wanting to update the PHP version to 7, for speed and security purposes. However, it seems that this version is not compatible with PHP 7.
Would updating the site to the current Enfold Theme version likely break everything and require us to do a big migration, or is it mostly retrocompatible?
Website URL is in Private Content field.
Thanks!
Hey Simon,
We can’t say if an update will break something unfortunately. Please try performing the update on a staging copy first. The update to 5.0 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 use a plugin to upload the theme zip file: https://wordpress.org/plugins/update-theme-and-plugins-from-zip-file/
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
