Activation and update

Posted in: Newspaper

1. Do I need to activate to update the Theme or
can I just download the latest Theme from Envato?

2. I have never updated the theme. If I download
from Envato and follow instructions is there a risk
the site will go down?

3. If I activate Theme in WP, as suggested, will new
updates of Theme and WPComposer be automatic then?

4. If I activate Theme in WP, as suggested, will
there be an identification between my WP-site and
my account at Envato?

5. WPComposer is a plugin that constantly, just as
activation, remind of registering and activate.
Should I delete WPComposer plugin?

Hi,

All there is to know about the steps you should take preparing for the update, and the actual update process through different methods is mentioned in this guide
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
The FTP method is the most recommended in this matter.
The theme activation is a one time action, you don’t have to activate the theme again
https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-6-how-to-activate-the-theme/
The activation key will be stored in the database after the theme is activated.
The tagDiv composer plugin is a required plugin and will automatically be installed and activated when the theme is installed or updated (starting with version 8 of the theme)
https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
Both tagDiv composer and Visual composer are provided in the theme package. If you want to use Visual composer for your pages, deactivate the tagDiv composer.
You do not have to activate Visual composer, simply disregard the messages
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Worth mentioning that future theme updates will include more features and options for the tagDiv composer only. That should be taken into consideration.

Thanks
