Hello—
I have a client that is currently running Enfold Child Version: 1.0 / EnfoldVersion: 3.8.
We would like to get their site up to date. They are currently using WordPress 4.9.26. Can we update their WordPress to 6.5.5?
What is the best / latest php version that will work with WordPress to 6.5.5 and Enfold Version 6.0.1?
How do I update the theme?
What is the step by step process to make the above updates in the best way?
(A few weeks ago I created a staging site in BlogVault that seemed to work in staging, but when I tried to merge it back to their site I got a critical error.)
Thanks.
Hey lanikita,
The update to 6.0.1 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/
I would suggest that you try running PHP 8.1 or higher, and the latest version of the theme is compatible with the latest version of WordPress.
Best regards,
Rikard
