The website I’m working on was created using an older version of the Enfold theme from a previous developer. I purchased the lasted version 4.3 and uploaded it to the site. The site uses an Enfold Child Theme based on the previous version. How do I ensure that the child is using 4.3 as the parent?
Hey ciprianibob,
If I understand correctly, right now the site looks correct and the child theme is activated.
First please export a copy of your theme settings, for a backup for yourself.
Ok, now you have a child theme and two enfold’s like this:
To see which theme is the parent, please use FTP to look at the style.css of the child theme, on the “Template” line it will say which theme is being used.
In this case “enfold” is being used, note the second theme is named “enfold-old” (please ignore the word “old” for you it could say “new” or “copy” or something else, this is for example)
You can change the parent by changing the name in the “Template” line to match the folder you want to use.
To know which theme is in which folder, simply open the style.css in one of the folders and look for the “Version” line, in this case the “enfold-old” is v4.2.6
So now we know which theme folder the child theme is using, and which theme version is inside that theme folder, and how to change the theme being used.
Hope this has helped :)Best regards,
MikeMike,
Perfect – it was just what I was looking for. I made the adjustment on my child style.css to point to the new theme folder.
However, on my Enfold Theme Screen

The Child Theme is active, not the Parent. Is this OK? Thanks for your help!
