Hello, I am trying to update the Newspaper theme, because my website was HACKED due to vulnerability in TagDiv composer plugin. But I don’t see the “Update” tab, which should be in my WordPress->Newspaper->Updates section. My current version is
Version: 10.3.9.1
Please advice
i,
If you want to update the theme, you should download the latest version of it from Theme Forest account and download it.
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/
If you want, you can contact our custom work team here, and they can help you update the theme safely: https://tagdiv.com/premium-customization-services/
Thank you!
After downloading updated theme from Themeforest, I have to remove the old theme from panel?
Or just install over old theme?
Hello,
Please make sure that you have a full backup of all files and databases. After, you can rename the current theme folder upload the zip file from the download package and install it.
Thank you!
