Theme Update

Sometime we provide updates which includes new features and bugfixes. Updating WordPress theme is standard WordPress functionality.

Before Update

• Before updating please make sure to keep a backup to be on safe side.. You can use Duplicator plugin to backup/restore your site.

• Do Not Keep Older Copies of The Theme In WP Theme Folder You should completely remove all previous theme folders before adding the new updated theme folder. Don't just rename the theme folder. If you rename your theme folder when you update, then the path will be no longer valid. Because WordPress stores menus and widget settings and some other settings by folder path, you will need to rename your theme folder back to what it was before, then your settings, menus, widgets will be restored. So the total renaming process has no meaning.

• Reset Browser Cache, Server Cache And Plugin Cache It is always recommended to reset your browser, plugin, and server cache when you update. Visual issues may happen and more often than not, its caused by caches, and they need to be emptied. Each browser allows you to remove cookies, history and other data. If your theme or Case Addons version is not updated after uploading the new files, it is due to a server-side caching system. Some hosting providers have server-side cache systems installed to optimize the speed of content delivery, please clear any server-side cache or ask your host to do it. This is also true for google pagespeed setups or cloudflare setups.

• Update Child Theme If you have copied template files from parent theme to child theme, please make sure to revert to parent theme first to confirm if the issue exists there too. If it doesn’t, please update the templates copied to child theme with the parent theme.

• The required & recommended plugins must be Updated ưhen you update the theme, you will see a notification message in your admin telling you the required and recommended plugins need to be updated.
