Hi Bogdan,
A few weeks ago I asked about why my sidebars always disappear when I update the theme.
I re-built my 14 unique sidebars from scratch and inserted them into the last update, but now there’s a NEW UPDATE and I’m terrified that I’ll have to start all over again!
Please tell me how I can preserve my sidebars when I update to the new theme.
Thanks,
Rita L
You will have to be careful how you update. If you do not replace the files in the theme but rather keep the old theme and then switch to the new one with the old one still in your folders, then the sideabrs issue will appear again. Please use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and make sure there are not 2 versions of the theme in your appearance->themes section. It should only be one version even after the update.
Make a back-up beforehand though so if something happens, you can roll back to your current install.
Follow the update process described in the guide step by step and you should be fine
Thank you!
Thank you for all your help Bogdan. I hope it works. 🙂
