I tried updating via the auto-update Envato plugin from 4.6.3, but it ended up wrecking my site and had to do a complete site restore. Looking at the documentation, the script seems to be what I want as I keep my content and theme settings among other things. However the documentation screenshot Update Script shows Newspaper v6 running with a link to the script in a text box that’s part of a Newspaper sidebar menu. I don’t have that with v4.6.3 and it’s not clear where/how I would run it from the documentation as this link in the Newspaper submenu seems to be the only way to run the script…

Hi,

Please upgrade to version 6 via FTP, by removing the old theme(like it is specified in the documentation) as this version must be regarded like a new theme so make sure that old files will not remain as it could cause some issues – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and update also the plugins that come with the theme files. Then please run the script, it will import old settings from database and it will change the shortcodes(it is specified in the docs) – http://screencast.com/t/eZxxuqvsTir Unfortunately you will have to re-add widgets on your sidebars, some of them may not be imported or don’t exist anymore, also please note that if you have custom modifications to the theme files or custom css it will not work with new version.

Hope this helps!
