I run version 9.7.1
I want to upgrade to the latest version
Can I make the jump direct OR do I have to upgrade in increments ie… 9.7.1 to 10, 10 to 11, 11 to 12?
Please advise as I don’t want to break the site

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!
