How to update Newspaper from v2.1.3 to v4.6

Hi,

You have to upload version 4.6 over the existing theme (2.1.3) and select overwrite all files. If you modified some of files using the child theme and those files were modified by us you also need to update them in the child theme and reapply the custom code. The theme code changed a lot since version 2.1.3, use this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/

Backup the entire wordpress directory and the database before you update. In case something goes wrong with the update you can use the backup to revert to the previous state.
Here are some information on how to make the backup – http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
You basically just need to save the database and copy the entire wordpress directory on your hdd.

Thank you, Emil G.
