    Hi,

    Is Royal 6.3.2 compatible with WooCommerce 5.6.0? I am running WC 5.4.2 and planning to update it to 5.6.0

    Also, Royal has a couple of WC templates are flagged as out-of-date for even the current WC version:
    royal/woocommerce/cart/mini-cart.php version 3.7.0 (core version is 5.2.0)
    royal/woocommerce/content-product_cat.php version 2.6.1 (core version 4.7.0)

    These need to be updated – or if the Royal 6.3.2 doesn’t use them, removed.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your reply! I think it might be safer if I update WooCommerce first before you update the theme templates, so that you don’t have to do it again after the WC update.

    So, is Royal compatible with WooCommerce 5.6? Is it OK for me to update WC?

    Since yesterday, the new WooCommerce version is now 5.7. Does Royal work with that WooCommerce version? As soon as I get the green light from you, I will update it and then you can update the WooCommerce template files. Is that OK by you? Or does Royal work with all WooCommerce versions by default?

    Hello,

    We did not find compatibility issues with the latest version of the WooCommerce. Besides, we plan a theme update for next week that includes compatibility fixes with the latest WP version.

    Okay, I will wait for the theme update, run it and the WooCommerce update on my site, and then you can fix the outdated template files if they are not replaced by new ones with the update.

    I will chime in here when all is ready!

    Hello,

    Just checking in: Is the Royal theme update coming soon? I can only see the old 6.3.2 in my downloads library.

    Hello again,

    I see that Royal 6.3.3 is out now. Does the new version still support the ThemeForest limited license? I’m still using that on the live site. I also have the license from the 8theme unlimited bundle, so should I switch the license key to that one? Is there something special I need to do when switching license codes?

    Thank you for your reply!

    I have a child theme. Last time I updated via FTP by overwriting the old theme folder with the new one. That method left some old files and references to them which caused some problems (which you fixed later).

    Is there a better way to update the theme when using a child theme?

    Hello,

    If you use FTP metod then you can rename the old parent theme folder and then extract the new version to avoid out of date files in the parent theme.
    If you copied some files to the child theme and they are out of date then you need to update them manually by adding the necessary updated code to these files in addition to your customization.

    Hello,

    Sorry, I’ve been a bit busy but I am just getting around to updating now. Thank you for your reply! I have not made the child theme modifications myself, so I have to look into the code and make comparisons to the parent theme file codes.

    One question: If there is a file in the child theme, does that file override the file with the same name in the parent theme completely, or does it add its functionalities to the parent theme file (i.e. are both files are used by the site)?

    Hello,

    Files in the child theme overwrote the parent theme files. But it’s not recommended to copy files from the framework folder. If you want to change any function from the files of the framework folder then you just need to copy the function to the child theme functions.php and edit it according to your needs.

    Hello,

    Is the enqueuing of the stylesheets wrong in my child theme functions.php? (see the private content area) Should I change it to what is used in your royal-child template?

    Hello,

    Use the below code

    <?php add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
    function theme_enqueue_styles() {
        wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_uri(), array( 'bootstrap', 'parent-style' ) );
        wp_enqueue_script( 'royal-child-scripts', get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/cpm/cpm.js' );
    }

    Hi,

    Thank you for the replies. The enqueuing code you provided lost connection to my child theme css, so I left it as it was.

    I have a follow-up question, however: In addition to the royal theme and royal-child theme (active), there is a “verkkolahja.fi (KMS update)” theme in the wordpress appearance menu. Its version is listed as 2.52 and it has the royal theme thumbnail picture. It is not active and it doesn’t show up in the themes folder via FTP. I don’t know what it is – Is it made by 8theme – or has perhaps a previous developer that I have hired created it for some reason? Do you recognize such a theme’s purpose? Do you think it’s OK to remove it?

    There is also another theme that only shows up via FTP connection, called “royal-updated”. It has a last modified time stamp in 2016. Do you recognize such a theme and do you think it’s OK to remove it?

    I removed both themes on my staging site and everything seems to run without problems. I just want to make sure that those themes don’t serve any purpose that you know about.

    Hello,

    Provide us with WP Dashboard and FTP access to your site to check theme that you are talking about. Maybe some developer that you hired to create your site changed the parent theme, not sure and can tell you nothing till I check the backend.

    OK, I created credentials for the staging site that is an identical copy of the actual production site.
