Wings : Theme Update

IMPORTANT: Before you go ahead with the update please check theme changelog and make sure you backup your old theme folder. Download it to your computer locally.

It is the best practice to backup both your files and database regulary and especially before making some serious updates. We recommend using free backup plugins for WordPress like WPOnlineBackup

Update Option 1. Update using WordPress uploader

  1. Log into your Themeforest account and navigate to your downloads tab. Find the theme and download “Installable WordPress file”.
  2. Log into your wordPress website and go to Appearance -> Themes
  3. Activate a different theme. Delete the previous version of wings charity and re-upload the new WordPress Installable files that you have downloaded from Themeforest in the 1st step.
  4. Once it uploads, choose to activate the theme.
  5. Update the included plugins if you see a notification message letting you know the plugins have a new version.

Update Option 2. Update using FTP client

  1. Log into your Themeforest account and get the last version of the theme as described above.
  2. Connect to your server using desktop client software(we recommend CyberDuck and Filezilla)
  3. Change directory to /wp-content/themes
  4. Remove existing folder with old theme files
  5. Unpack theme installable files downloaded from themeforest and upload to themes folder
  6. Login in to your WordPress admin “Designthemes Core Features” plugin needs to be updated on theme update. You will be prompted to install it upon installing or updating your theme.
  7. If you dismiss the prompt or do not see it, then you can go to Appearance > Install Plugins page and install the plugin that way. If you check the “Update Available” link in that section, you can see the plugins which all needs to be updated.
  8. Just click the update button of each plugin to update it to latest version. If it does not shows in the “Update Available” link, then no need to update the plugin.
  9. Update the included plugins if you see a notification message letting you know the plugins have a new version.
