Hello,
I got downloaded Envato WordPress toolkit and I am about to update. Will I lose all my work? I Have done a lot of effort for developing and customizing front end of the project, don’t want to lose it..
Thanks
Thomas
And it is written you will lose any customizations you have made..
Best bet is to make back up of dbase, backup of all site data via FTP, export theme settings from theme panel, export data from WP export panel, copy/paste anything from custom css panel to text file, etc. — these are all normal backup/safe keeping procedures.
Upload new theme over old one. Make note if you changed any templates you will need to reapply them. Remember to also update plugins.
Envato toolkit sometimes does not work, resulting in mix of broken pieces — hence good to have backup where you can simply re-upload via FTP to put eveeything back vs site being down.
Thank you Chris! I will try that, I will keep my fingers crossed since there was a lot of work done. Also I got 50 users currently on my site so if something wrong they will just see messed up things.. 🙂
