So I bought my theme yesterday and tweaked it all day and night and got my site up and running again just to realize the theme has been upgraded to a new version this afternoon.
Can I expect an upgrade to go smooth or will I end up sitting all weekend tweaking the site after upgrading it?
Do the stacks and other staff automatically load with the settings I’ve done in the control panel etc?
I’m not one of tagDiv staff, but would have thought It all depends on whether you used child theme or not.
Hi,
@alezan If you take a look at the change log you will notice that the last theme update adds improvements, bpress support and also fixes bugs so it will be to your benefit to update it.
Please also note that updating will not affect the settings you’ve made to your theme, it will affect the changes you’ve made to the theme files though so I suggest you make a backup of your current theme installation then take note of the changes you’ve made to the theme files if you have done any then use the FTP method from the guide below and update your theme.
You can also use the patch if you update from the previous theme version and copy just the modified files but using it will also remove the changes you’ve made to the theme files if those files are among the one that have been modified during this last update.
If you have changes to the theme files you can use the child theme in the future to keep them as @Lukas suggested but please note that you will not be able to edit all files via Child theme, you can find here more info about this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/child-theme-documentation-newsmag/
Here is the guide on how to update your theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/
Hope this helps!
Thanks
