I have two websites, both with a Tempera theme.
One of them is quite new so is using theme version 1.2.7. – I like this version.
The one I am having problems with is using version 1.2.2. – I do not like this version.I want to update it but:
1. I do not know how to update it
2. I don’t want the update to erase, corrupt or change the look of my websiteI haven’t coded anything or even changed the code itself (that I know of), as I have only used the visual editing style. Does that do the same thing?
I don’t want to lose any changes in layout, colour, text size or navigation of the site.When I look in the Custom CSS text box there isn’t anything there, as I haven’t typed any changes into there…
So do I have anything to worry about if I update the theme version?Many thanks,
The Laptop ShopUpdating Tempera shouldn’t erase any of your layout settings. This is from the Tempera FAQ page:
D. Updates
▶ D1. Are my hard-worked settings kept during an update?
Theme settings (together with the Custom CSS and Custom JS field contents) are kept during updates.
File modifications (changes to style.css, to theme files or newly added files) in the theme folder are lost on update (this is default WordPress behaviour).Consider using the custom CSS / JS fields or resorting to child themes for your extra customizations.
Important note: Since you can never have enough backups – and just to be on the safe side – use the Export Settings button (in theme settings) to save a complete backup of all theme settings before updating.
Updating your theme is quite simple. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Appearance > Themes. Any themes that have updates available will display an alert banner. Click on the theme you want to upgrade and click on “update now.”
Just remember to backup your site before you attempt to update it.
