I bought your template some time ago, and noticed I cannot update to the new version of WordPress and see that there is a new version of the template, please explain the best way to update the theme without loosing any of the work that has been carried out.

I am currently running 1.5 and see that you are using 2.4.1 so there is obviously many changes please advise.

Many thanks,

You can find this on: https://www.8theme.com/demo/docs/legenda/index.html

Theme Upgrade

While the theme update the theme files will be rewritten and if you made any changes directly in them, the changes will be lost.

So, if you are planning to customize your template, we insistently advise you to use Child Theme or custom.css file, if your changes affect only css styles. All the detailed information about custom.css file can be found in Legenda Theme Options.

The theme update affects only the theme files and do not influence the data base. But, to avoid any difficulties, please, do the backup of theme files and data base before any update.

Follow the steps below to update theme through FTP:

– Download the zipped package from ThemeForest and extract to your desktop.
– In the extracted package you will find archive Legenda_v2.4.1.zip, which is the WordPress theme.
– Extract zip file and upload only extracted legenda folder to /wp-content/themes/ folder on your server with overwriting.

Please, re-save your Legenda options after upgrading the theme. Navigate to admin panel > Theme Options and hit Save changes.

Hello @rcghunt,

As you are using very old theme version and now Visual Composer is no longer built-in, but is implemented in the theme as a separate plugin, which is suggested to be installed immediately after the theme installation. The plugin archive is included in the theme archive and to start working with it you just need to click “Install plugin” button.
Also delete wpbakery folder from wp-content/themes/legenda before update.

Don’t forget to create a backup of all your files and databases before upgrading, and read instructions carefully on how to update your template properly: https://www.8theme.com/demo/docs/legenda/index.html#!/installation

Thank you.
Regards,
Eva Kemp.
