Hi,
when i try to updated to Newspaper 7.4 through wordpress “Update the theme via WordPress (https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/)” this message appear “Deletion failed”
You may have permisssion issue on your folders.
Best way to do this is to learn to use FTP and manually delete the old theme folder, then upload the new theme folder to /themes/ folder and new plugins to the /plugins/ folder in wp-content on your website.
Seriously, worth learning to do – simple, quick, consistent. You know it works, because you’re doing it.
Also good time when doing that to make local backups by downloading your site to your HD, to have safe copies of your site, old themes/plugins, images, wp-config, htaccess, etc.
Thanks for your reply i will try it, but i want to know my blocks and customization will be deleted after update by ftp ??
Hello,
This depends on whether you edited the demo content or you created your own. Lots of people prefer to edit the demo content (dummy data) and go from there without realizing that if you uninstall a demo or switch demos, the dummy data gets removed even if you edited it. That is why we always recommend a back-up beforehand.
But even if you edited the dummy data, it will not get removed if you simply update and do not uninstall or switch demos.
Thank you!
Thanks for your reply, Yes i edited the demo, so how to get backup for the theme??
