Tagged: theme update
When I go to the menu Enfold Child > Theme Update, I see that it wants me to upgrade my theme. It tells me that “A new Version (4.7.6.4) of your Parent Theme (Enfold) is available!” Before I press the “Update Now” button, I have a few questions:
1) I am assuming that this only upgrades the parent theme and that all of the customization that I have made to my child theme will remain intact. Is this correct?
2) Will the CSS in the Quick CSS box remain intact?
3) Will all the changes I have made under the Enfold Child Theme Options (for instance theme options, general layout, general styling, advanced styling, main menu, header, etc) remain as it is or will it all get reset to default.
I just don’t want to get any surprises when I do update the theme. Thanks.
Hey lsrmedia,
1. Yes, that is correct, only the parent theme is affected and no changes are done on the child theme.
2. Yes, it remains intact since it is stored in the database.
3. Yes, it remains as is since it is also stored in the database.
We always recommend having a backup first before updating, though the chances of success is high but sometimes unexpected things happen.
Best regards,
Nikko
