Hello

Can you please explain to me what happens in the process of applying a newspaper11 theme version update.

If I run the update will this

Reset anything?
Will I need to reapply CSS?
Will it force me to install the plugins?
Will there be anything else I need to do after the update completes?

Or

Will running the update just bee seamless and no other intervention will be required after I hit the button

Thanks

Hi,
If everything works properly, then just run the update and the theme and the theme plugins will be automatically updated. At update all theme and plugin files will be replaced, so any change in them will be lost, but not the settings in the theme panel or those made with the composer, they are saved in the database.

Unfortunately, there are also situations where the update does not work properly (due to certain extra plugins that are active, or certain restrictions, server settings), in these cases it is possible that the plugins in the theme will not be updated automatically and this will have to be done manually.

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!
