Hi everyone,
I have a quick question as you sent me an email about updating my version of Enfold. When I set my site up I was totally new to all this and just used one of your demo sites and modified it. It’s been great and I am scared I am going to wipe it all when I do the update. I didn’t know about child themes etc when I started! Before I do it I thought I’d check :-) Thanks!
Hi MissLS,
With regards to updates, if the update goes smoothly (without any interruptions) most likely you won’t have any issues however since there’s still a little chance that something might go wrong, so I suggest you do a Site Backup first and also Backup Theme Settings, so in case you’ll encounter problems you can revert to it.
Updates won’t wipe your data since they are safely stored in the database.
As for child themes, you can use it if you need to tweak some files, so it doesn’t get lost (refers to theme files) during the theme update but if you aren’t tweaking the theme files then there’s no need for it.
Best regards,
Nikko
