    Hi there,
    We have a bunch of patches needing updates. We’re unable to update because we first need to update the theme to 9.6.4 (see pic) https://i.imgur.com/Qas5tPZ.png. However, it looks like we need to update to 9.6.3 first (https://i.imgur.com/MKrbvlG.png), when we click on “UPDATE NOW” button, nothing shows to update (https://i.imgur.com/tSijV9W.png). We’re currently running 9.6.1 (https://i.imgur.com/FLgzvp0.png). Lastly, Changelog also gives us the opportunity to update (https://i.imgur.com/AsthsEQ.png) but still no luck to satisfy updating.

    Thanks for looking!

    Hello, dsprinting,

    Could you please provide temporary wp-admin and FTP access? We will check what can be done to help you.
    To grant WP-Admin access, please proceed to create a new user account with an administrator role through your WordPress Dashboard. Once the account is established, you may securely transmit the username and password to us via the Private Content section designated for this purpose.

    For FTP access, we require the following details: FTP host, FTP username, FTP password, FTP port, and FTP encryption type. If you need assistance in creating these credentials, please reach out to your hosting provider who will guide you through the process.

    Best Regards,

    Hello @dsprinting,

    If you update to the latest version, all patches from the previous versions will already be included in the updated archive. Therefore, we kindly recommend updating to the latest version to ensure you have all the newest features and fixes.

    Please note that applying patches from a newer version to an older installation is not allowed, as it may cause critical errors due to numerous template modifications introduced in each update.

    Thanks for understanding !

    Best regards,

    Dear @dsprinting,

    Thank you for providing us with access. However, we have noticed that the user account associated with the provided credentials has limited permissions and cannot update themes (see: https://prnt.sc/KBjsh6tgivcR).

    We kindly ask you to perform the update process on your side by following the instructions provided in our next reply: https://www.8theme.com/topic/xstore-theme-needs-updating-but-doesnt-list-an-available-update/#post-463797.

    If you still require our assistance, please either update the current user’s capabilities or provide us with the correct administrator access so that we can assist you further.
