3.6 to 4 is simple; follow the manual upgrade option
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/

Be sure to update the plugins found in the themeforest “all items” download for the theme, in the plugins folder after theme files updated.

be sure to

First make BACKUP of your dbase, and any special files you’ve modified; turn off all caching, clear caches, clear cache on CDN if using one; turn off mod_pagespeed if using it.

1) switch to main theme, NOT the child theme if using one
2) turn off all plugins while doing update
upload theme files via FTP
3) turn on ONLY the plugins included with theme after upgrade of both theme and plugins
4) if sidebars disappear you can usually just go to appearance and resave them and then back
5) turn on any “extra” plugins

Hope that helps! 🙂

Hi,

Thanks @Christopher!

@Stefan
Please let me know what issues do you have, I will try to help you! A common issue with the big slider is the use of CDN which delivers the old content and should work if you empty server cache and also from the browser or when using the 980px layout set from theme panel > responsive settings, you should try using the 1170px layout should solve the slider issue.

Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message
