So I have an old version of Newspaper 9.7
I tried to upgrade to 11.4.1 and, boom, broke the site
What happened? I don’t know!

Is it possible to upgrade from 9.7 to 11.4.1?
If so, what is the procedure?

I want to make sure my POST STYLES are intact so that my posts have the same formatting; like this one, which is Style 3. https://www.veteranstodaynetwork.com/2022/01/29/zelensky-russian-invasion/

Yes. You can do this. But make sure you do a complete backup beforehand:

– database
– wp files

Also, save your sidebars, etc. You are using the FastNews template?

Are you already using the tagDiv Composer editor or are you using the old Visual Composer?

Hello @veteranstoday,

If you want to update the theme I recommend that you update the theme via FTP/cPanel on a staging website and make sure that you have activated the tagDiv Standard pack plugin to keep the look of the website.
Before the update, please make a full backup to all files and the database if something goes wrong. => https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Also, please try to update the theme without extra plugins activated during the installation, as this may interfere with the installation process.

Let me know the results!

Thank you!
