Hey folks — just heads up if you get the site messed up after upgrading from 5x to 5.4, in my case the solution was I had to reactivate the td-composer plugin.
If you update and notice custom fonts, footer gone, wrong post template, wrong archive template, home page just block of code … that likely the reason.
I did manual FTP upload;
a) delete old plugin; delete old theme
b) upload new plugin; upload new theme
c) go to plugins > activate the td-composer
Most smart folks likely figured this out. But I had panic moment there 🙂
when you “deleted” your old theme, did it not erase your settings/customizations?
Nope. All my settings were intact, as were the custom CSS I had in the WordPress panel. Of course, I had made backup of my dbase and existing files, so I could roll back if doom ensued.
Also to be clear; I did not delete old theme and plugin from the WP panel; I did it via FTP, which would not clear any WP settings or save states/cache.
That makes sense.
