Hello, I’ve to update the theme. I’m using child theme and I don’t find a tutorial about what to do.

Is it ok to:
1. Rename or delete current newsmag (main theme) folder
2. Upload new version
3. Update social counter and composer
4. Don’t touch child theme

?

I’m using css mod:deflate via htacces, do I have to do anything particular?

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
<filesMatch “\.(js|css|html)$”>
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
</filesMatch>
</IfModule>

Also, I don’t need to pass through the intermediate version, I can upload directly the latest one, right?

Hi,

Yes, doing you’ve mentioned above is the right way:

1. Rename or delete current newsmag (main theme) folder
2. Upload new version
3. Update social counter and composer
4. Don’t touch child theme

The child theme should only be updated if there are changes mentioned in theme’s changelog. We have added this to our child theme documentation: http://screencast.com/t/2oOPsulTGHPN and modifications made to files that have also changed within update will have to be made again and yes you can upload directly the latest version of the theme.

Thanks
