Hello community!
I have version 8.8.1 of the Newspaper theme installed and wanted to update it to the latest version. I followed the instructions and did it via FTP https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Also try following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0hNjfCve1E
I also tried to disable the theme. Leave another as the main one and then reactivate the NewsPaper theme.
The theme update went fine with no errors, but after the update the site was broken. The menu and footer were no longer visible. All styles had been removed even though I exported the theme preferences. The entire site had lost its settings, styles and seemed full of broken code. All plugins were up and running.
I had to restore a backup to be able to go back to the previous version and the site continued to work, but I need to update the theme. WordPress currently runs on version 6.1.1
Could anyone tell me how to update the theme without losing the original site’s styles, menu and footer? https://www.edicionrural.com/
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello,
If you have a child theme, please use the main theme to do the update.
I recommend that you update the theme manually https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ via FTP/cPanel/File Manager, also if possible disable extra plugins during the theme update to avoid any problems that may arise and make sure that you have activated the tagDiv Standard pack plugin to keep the website’s look. You can try to update the theme on a staging website.
After you update the theme, you need to update the theme plugins too.
In the worst cases, the settings in the theme panel may be lost (there have been isolated cases), in these cases, after the theme plugins that were previously used are activated, you will have to use a backup for the theme panel -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-export-theme-settings/
Thank you!
