    Hello,

    Before update you need delete “woocommerce” folder in the directory wp-content/themes/royal/ and it’ll be reuploaded from a new theme package.
    Also update all required plugins https://www.8theme.com/download-plugins/ .

    Don’t forget to create back up of your files and database before starting update process!


    (it’s for Legenda theme but the process is the same).

    Please note you should overwrite parent theme files, not the child theme.

    Regards,

    Thanks for this – I am worried about my settings being overwritten – all I have in the child theme is style.css and functions.php

    I have also made changes to the shortcodes.php and theme-functions.php – should I copy thes to the child theme as well?

    Thanks

    Hello,

    You need move all changes to Child Theme then you’ll not lose them after theme update.
