    Hi,

    awhile ago I got a notification from Envato, that there’s a new update for Enfold and I realized that my current version is quite old. So I have several questions:

    1. Why can’t I see the Enfold updates on my WP Dashboard?
    2. How can I update Enfold anyway?
    3. What do I have to consider for the updating process, especially regarding the child theme my website uses?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hey,

    1- It seems like you have not verified your Personal Token. Please go to Enfold theme options > Theme Update and verify it.
    2- You should receive theme updates after verifying your Personal Token in Enfold theme options. If you do not, please use the Envato Market plugin: https://www.envato.com/lp/market-plugin/ and insert your Personal Token into the plugin options.
    3- To be safe, please create a staging copy of your site and update the theme there. If you modified the header.php or footer.php files on your child theme, you might need to update those files.

    • To update the files, you can rename the “header.php” file you have on your child theme to “old-header.php”
    • Copy the header.php file from the updated Enfold parent theme and paste it into your child theme
    • Apply the modifications you have on your “old-header.php” file to the new file.

    I hope this helps!

    Best regards,
    Yigit

    Thanks Yigit, that helps a lot!

    To be safe, please create a staging copy of your site and update the theme there
    Now, how do I do that??

    I only see two files in the child theme folder: functions.php, styles.css
    So nothing to worry here, I guess?!

    Hey,

    Now, how do I do that??

    You can create a new WordPress installation on a subdomain on your server and then use a plugin such as this one: https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/ to migrate your current site to the subdomain.

    I only see two files in the child theme folder: functions.php, styles.css
    So nothing to worry here, I guess?!

    There could be a deprecated code in the functions.php file as well but generally speaking, it is usually safe to update :) If you would like us to check the code you have in the functions.php file, please share it with us privately using Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/
