Hi, few months ago a freelancer installed this theme for me and i really didn’t know too much at that time. I thought is licensed but somehow i belive that is not, only a copy or something. anyway i’ve decided to buy it and i tried to install it and this is what i get. Now im a bit confused to be fair because im not sure how does it work ? If is already installed i leave it as it is ? or my current version is not updated and need to install the purchased version ? I just want to update the theme since the current one maybe is a bit older and doesnt have all the updates ?
If possible maybe i can share for you my credentials and take a look in wordpress ?
theme version is 10.3.2. (but i dont know what is the current update)
wordpress 5.3.2
PHP Version 7.3.21
I would really appreciate if you guys are going to take a look over my website since is a bit confusing how im going to install it now.

Hi,

With the configuration that you have now and the version of theme, everything should work normal, but if you want to make a theme update, before that you need to make a full backup to the website and database and only after that ma the update as in our guide from here -> https://tagdiv.com/update-newspaper-theme/ I personal recommend to try first time B. Update the theme Manually and only after that use the option A.
Also here is another guide for the problem you mentioned -> https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-destination-folder-already-exists-error-in-wordpress/

Let me know the results!
Thank you!
