Hello,
Unfortunately, there is a big difference between version v8 to version v11.
I recommend that you update the theme on a staging website and make sure that you have activated the tagDiv Standard pack plugin to keep the look of the website.
Before the update, please make a full backup to all files and the database if something goes wrong. => https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ using method B.
Also, please let us know about errors you have when you try to update the theme, also, please disable all extra plugins.
Here you can find information about the changes that have occurred in each update over time https://tagdiv.com/newspaper/
Thank you!
Thank you Anamaria,
This is what I did using method 2. But my whole site gone down when I did this. Then I deleted the new version from file manager and uploaded old files of version 8 and then my site went back alive.
Can I update to other version first and then do it slowly up to 11?
or any other option to upgrade?
Please help
Thank you
Amit
Hello @banana!
First of all, please make sure you have a backup done and then you can update the theme and the TagDiv plugins also.
Please take a look for this advice before updating: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/action-required-please-read-how-to-update-to-the-newspaper-theme-v-10/
I recommend you make a backup and update plugins and the theme via file transfer, so that you don’t face any error: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thank you!
