Hi,

So you installed a demo and then you tried to activate the theme with the license key. That would have no effect on the state of the website or demo installed.

When a demo is installed this process will import the demo theme panel settings and custom design where needed (with content it will import demo posts, categories, menus etc).

Only if the demo is uninstalled, or a different one is installed will the demo data be lost. The theme panel settings, custom design etc will be removed in this case.

What exactly is the message you are receiving? A screenshot would be helpful. Also what exactly is preventing you from updating the theme, what error message? Let us know.

The theme can be updated in multiple ways, the most recommended is by FTP

Hi,

Your settings in the theme panel will not be lost by updating the theme. As always however it is recommended to make a full backup before updating.

Regarding the second question, I believe you are referring to the social counter

It depends on how it is placed, it it’s a block, edit the page where it is and modify it as needed

If it’s a widget, it can be edited in Appearance->Widgets

They are still configured with default data from what I can see. Edit the page with the tagDiv composer, click on the social counter and replace the default data with your own

Here is a composer guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/

The content in pages and posts will not be affected by a theme update. They will remain as you configure/create them. The theme can be updated like this
