    Hello Kriesi – Team,

    about 8 years ago i was working on a website while using your Enfold 4.2.1 version.
    i just forgot about the project. but now i want to relaunch the website while using the content i already created. unfortunatly i los my API-key.
    is it possible to ugrade from 4.2.1 version of Enfold to a current version? and still keep the original conent?
    i am also interested in purchasing a new licence.
    let me know, if this works. And how i am going to do the update?

    cheers,
    Alex

    Hey Alex,

    The update to 6.0.9 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/

    Best regards,
    Rikard

    Thanks,

    I deleted the old version and tried to install the new theme via wordpress theme – installation.
    But that does’t worked.
    it says:

    Entpacken des Pakets …
    Das Theme wird installiert …
    Das Paket konnte nicht installiert werden. Dem Theme fehlt das Stylesheet style.css.
    Theme-Installation fehlgeschlagen.

    (you can also write in german to me)

    Hi,
    Your error:

    Unpacking the package… Installing the theme… The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the stylesheet style.css. Theme installation failed.

    typically means that you tried to upload the “full theme file” with the documentation, please use the installable WP version instead.
    When you download from your Theme Forest account, the download button has a few options, installable WP version is one of them.

    Best regards,
    Mike
