Hi all,
We have a site that is working on the Newspaper 9 theme. There is no UPDATE tab in the menu, so we cannot update it to Newspaper 11.
So we bought the last version of the theme.
If we upload it to the server, will it automatically replace all old theme system files with new ones? Can the existing site be erased?
Thank you!
Hi,
Indeed that is an old theme version and the update need to be done via FTP/cPanel.
What I can suggest is first to make a full backup for your website and database and after that to update the theme (also, you can try first on staging or subdomain).
The theme should be updated via FTP, by replacing the old theme with the new one (replace not overwrite), in case that there are custom changes in the theme files, those will be lost. After that install the theme plugin tagDiv Composer, tagDiv Standard Pack and the rest of the theme plugins if you using (social counter, newsletter).
I hope this will help you!
Thank you, Calin,
This info may be useful for some readers, but I just uploaded the Newspaper theme zip via the WP admin panel, and it asked whether to replace the old files. I clicked OK. It was installed over the old version of the theme and everything is working well now.
Thank you for the great theme. Love it.
Hi,
I’m glad everything when well!
If you have any questions, please let us know!
Thank you!
