Theme Update

There are 3 methods to update WordPress themes to newer version. These new updates are essential if you want to have a bug free website as we give new features and improvements to the theme over time. Some of these updates might be needed in order to make the theme compatible with wordpress newer versions. There is no risk on losing your settings and pages. However if you had done modifications in parent theme files, then they will be lost.

Please note that before updating a theme, we recommend you to make backup of your modified files.

Before beginning the upgrade, please do not forget to backup the database. To do this, go to Admin Dashboard --> Tools --> Backup and click on the Create Full Backup Now button.

1. Via the admin panel

  1. Please open Appearance -> Themes

  2. Choose another theme (not Kerge or Kerge Child)

  3. Delete Kerge theme

  4. Install updated theme Kerge version X.X.X (Appearance -> Themes -> Install Themes -> Upload)

2. Using ftp

  1. Use ftp-client to open folder with installed theme (../wp-content/themes/);

  2. Delete folder Kerge

  3. Copy unzipped and updated folder with Kerge theme

3. Using Envato Market Plugin.
