    Hello,

    I am running Enfold 4.3.2 on hovertrowel.com. I just purchased a new license for 4.8.2.

    The main reason I wanted to upgrade is because my WooCommerce is stuck on version 3.9.3 (can’t update without breaking the site) and I would like to upgrade to the latest, version 5.2.2. I assume the newer theme will work with the latest WooCommerce.

    Both the theme and WooCommerce will be jumping up several versions, so I’m a little nervous. Do you have any advice on how I can make this a smooth process? Other than having backups, of course.

    Also, the new Enfold folder name is the same as the old, is it possible to have both themes uploaded to the site simultaneously so I can switch back and forth between the two while testing?

    Thank you.

    Hey bradbansner,

    Please do the following steps:

    Make a backup:
    – Site Backup: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/backup-wordpress-site/
    – Theme Settings Backup: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/backup-theme-settings/

    Update Enfold Theme
    Option 1: Use Envato Market to update your site
    – link: https://envato.com/market-plugin/

    Option 2: Update manually
    1. Login to ThemeForest and download the Enfold theme, right-click over the downloaded zip file and extract/unzip it.
    2. It should generate a new folder, open it and look for the enfold folder
    3. Right-click the enfold folder then zip it, here’s a tutorial on how to create a zip file in windows: https://www.howtogeek.com/668409/how-to-zip-and-unzip-files-on-windows-10/ (this should create enfold.zip
    4. Log in to WordPress as and Admin.
    5. Install and activate a maintenance plugin and put your site in Maintenance mode.
    6. Go to Appearance > Themes, switch to a default WordPress theme like TwentyTwenty then delete Enfold.
    7. Click on the ADD NEW button.
    8. Click on the UPLOAD THEME button.
    9. Click BROWSE and choose enfold.zip file
    10. Click the INSTALL NOW button and switch to Enfold or your child theme.
    11. Remove the maintenance mode then deactivate and remove the maintenance plugin.

    Register the theme by following the instructions in https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/theme-registration/
    Once this is done, the next time you update, you’ll only need to go to Enfold > Theme Updates and click on the Update button.

    Best regards,
    Nikko
