Well, color me surprised – just updated one of our older sites which was still on Newsmag 3x trunk with major hacks, to the 5x trunk and zero issues other than having to re-authorized with license.
Main trick was
A) moving all custom CSS from theme panel to the WP customizer
B) moving all custom ‘code’ from the functions file(s) to a custom plugin
C) prperly deleting old theme and td-composer via FTP vs drag-overwrite old with new, which is always bad bad bad idea.
Sweet 🙂
That’s great, I’m glad it worked fine. It can be difficult to update from an older version, especially if customizations were made. And if not done properly (point C) there will probably be issues, mainly when doing it from pre 4.9 versions. That’s when we moved most of the theme into the composer https://tagdiv.com/updating-the-core-of-tagdiv-themes/ The old theme should be deleted and the new one installed.
Thank you!
