Hello
I still have to update wordpress to the latest version, and also the theme.
I used tagdiv composer, is it compatible with gutenberg?
and I have a child theme.

How should I upgrade?
update first wordpress?
then the theme?

is there an updated tutorial with the new features of wordpres 5.0?
I’m afraid to do the update 😀

thank you

Hi,

Should be no problems, most issues that have been reported in the theme were fixed, the others will be fixed. Since the initial 9.2 theme update when support for WordPress 5 was implemented in the theme, there were a couple of additional updates fixing various issues. WordPress also released some minor updates.

Theme changelog here (bottom of the page)

Some recommend to not update WordPress for the time being, others have updated

It all depends whether you require the new features immediately or not

You can update in any order, this is a theme update guide

Hi,

Yes it works, you can use it if you want to. Or use the classic editor plugin which will deactivate the Gutenberg editor

There should be no problem with each, let us know if you have more questions.

Thanks
