If you’ve made any custom changes directly in your theme’s files, make sure to back them up before updating. Updates will overwrite the theme completely. We strongly recommend making custom edits in a child theme to avoid losing them.
Updating our themes works just like any other WordPress theme. Go to Dashboard > Updates.
If a new version is available, you’ll see it in the list of updates:
Select the theme you want to update and click Update Themes.
If you know there’s an update available but you don’t see it in the list, click the Check Again button at the top to refresh:
What if WordPress Doesn’t Detect the Update?
We’ve seen this happen on older PHP versions (5.2, 5.3). We recommend updating PHP to at least 5.5 or, ideally, 7.0+. It not only fixes update issues but also improves your site’s speed and security.
If that doesn’t help, contact our support team and we’ll help you get it sorted.
How to Update via FTP
- Download the latest theme archive (from the email link or your account dashboard) and unzip it on your computer.
- Connect to your server via FTP and navigate to
/wp-content/themes. - Rename your existing theme folder (for example, to
root_old). - Upload the new, unzipped theme folder to the server.
- Visit your site and verify that everything works correctly with the new version.
- If all looks good, you can delete the old renamed folder (e.g.,
root_old).
