I am not getting a new version notification in my WordPress. If I manually upload the latest files then I have to redo everything to set up the website as it is. Can anyone help me with this? I am confused and sorry if this is not relevant.
My current theme version is 9.8
Yes dude, you have to. It’s painful.
Hello !
That is the best practice in order to achieve the best upload process.
I hope this is helpful !
Thank you !
If I download the theme from ThemeForest and upload it in WordPress won’t I have to do this every time there is any update and also it will take longer to just redesign the theme based on current settings? I thought I will be getting the update right at the WordPress dashboard as it will be easy for everyone.
lekhakmukesh, the previous answers do seem to be saying that you will have to redesign your site after you update Newspaper theme. At least that’s how I read them.
I went ahead and did it anyway using the (A. Update the theme via WordPress) method at https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/. After I did my site layout/design are the same as they were before the update. I can’t guarantee you will get same but just wanted to let you know.
Hello !
Sorry for missleading you.
So:
1. From Newspaper 9 to Newspaper 10 there have been some changes in the core of the theme so some files got moved from place to place. If you do not manually delete the theme before upgrade the install will overwrite the old install and that can produce a conflict.
2. If you want to keep the same looks of your website simply activate standard pack and eerything will be good to go but if you want to convert to the PRO version which will bring more speed to your website then you will have to deactivate the standard pack and adjust or re-desing the appearance of your website.
I hope this was more helpfull !
Thank you !
