Hi,

my site has been down for a few days since the WordPress update. it appears they have implemented the taxonomy meta feature which now clashes with your theme. however there is also a slight difference: they use the ‘term’ parameter whilst you use the ‘taxonomy’ parameter

/wp-includes/taxonomy.php
```
function update_term_meta( $term_id, $meta_key, $meta_value, $prev_value = '' ) {
..
update_metadata( 'term', $term_id, $meta_key, $meta_value, $prev_value );
```
whereas you have

/wp-content/themes/Legenda_v2.2/legenda/framework/inc/taxonomy-metadata.php
```
function add_term_meta($term_id, $meta_key, $meta_value, $unique = false) {
	return add_metadata('taxonomy', $term_id, $meta_key, $meta_value, $unique);
}
```
as such I didn’t want to just delete your functions (or try namespacing them to keep them separate) as i don’t know what that key difference will affect?

I understand you can login and fix the file, but I’d be grateful also to know what the fix is? Also will we likely see an update to the theme to fix this soon?

thanks

sorry that was 2 different functions. obviously i meant the specific difference between eg

wordpress
add_metadata( 'term', $term_id, $meta_key, $meta_value, $unique );

and
Legenda
add_metadata('taxonomy', $term_id, $meta_key, $meta_value, $unique);

thanks

Hello,

You’re using very old theme version. Please update the theme to the latest version and Woocommerce as well.
Before update delete “woocommerce” folder in the directory wp-content/themes/legenda/ 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!

Best regards,
Jack Richardson.

do i need to use the specific version of Woocommerce included inside your theme? (i think it’s slightly out of date) I tried updating it, but my styles aren’t right. I’m just trying to track down why.

(it may be visual composer which i’ve not managed to update yet)

sorry i’d not uploaded “woocommerce” from within your theme. i thought that was a plugin so would update from the main plugin section. (slightly confused on your instructions). I’m uploading that folder from your theme now.

Please, contact administrator
for this information.
