Update from 6 to 7

Hi, could I use these step in the document to update without losing any custom layout and configuration related to theme?
————————
Step 1 – Deactivate the current “Newspaper” theme from the Appearance > Themes section by simply activating a different theme. Once you activate a different theme, delete the Newspaper theme. Don’t worry, your content will not be lost.
Step 2 – Get the “Newspaper.zip” file from your new Themeforest download (Installable WordPress file only). If you downloaded the “All Files & Documentation” from Themeforest, then you need to unzip the archive file you received, the Newspaper.zip will be inside it.
Step 3 – Go to Appearance > Themes, choose Add New Theme, Upload the “Newspaper.zip” and click on the “Install Now” button.
Step 4 – After your upload is finished choose Activate the theme.
Step 5 – Update the plugins. The theme required and recommended plugins are included in the theme package inside the ../Newspaper-tf/plugins folder.

Thanks.

Hi

Yes you can follow the above steps to update the theme. However as a security measure make sure you do a full backup to your current wp-install: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups

Thanks!
