Hello,
I have built my site based on one of the Demo’s so the demo is actually still active and installed. If I go ahead and apply the theme update, will I lose all of my changes and be reverted back to the demo defaults?
Alternatively is there a way to uninstall the demo while at the same time keeping my website design and content stay exactly the same?
I am worried that because I built the entire site on top of a demo, it will all be erased with an upgrade đ
Thanks for your help
Hello shalom,
Just in case, recommend you doing a backup to be safer. Please keep in mind that if you change the files of the demo content, when you will disable it, all the additional customizations will be lost otherwise, if you have created other new page, post with the newest content, these will remain in your database.
Unfortunately, if you want to do an update from 4.x to 6.6.5 you lose all changes and you will have to clear your agenda and spare a bit of time to adjust all your settings to the new version of the theme.
If you have already Newspaper 6 and you want only to do the update to latest version, you should make this without any problem (be careful with your demo content). All your customization are recorded in the database which is not affected by this update.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Thanks for that info!
I am already on Newspaper 6 so that should make things easier.
What is the recommended way to use a demo as a starting point? Is the expectation that the user will always keep the demo installed? Or is there a better way to do this?
Hello shalom,
For the beginning, you should install the demo content and take a look over this so you can accommodate with the functionalities and all the features that our theme have and then should try to create your own site as you wish. You can use the demo content to create your website but is not the best way to do this because if you want to disable the demo content, which is modified by you, you will lose all your changes.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
