In this post i am going to explain you how you can easily update themes to latest version. Before updating it, if any changes were done in core files of theme then I would suggest you to first make backup of those changes or create a child theme and put those file in that.
This is very easy step to update theme because you are pretty much familiar with your WordPress Dashboard. So lets cover all the steps in points
Just download a fresh copy of theme from your Members Area and save it to your local computer, It will be a zip file of theme.
There is no need to delete the old theme, WordPress will automatically replace it.
Now you can upload your new theme zip file which you have downloaded from members area. Just navigate to “Appearance > Themes > Add New” and upload it where you have saved it in local computer.
After uploading you can activate it.
All is done, Now you are using latest version of theme.
Using FTP
This is the second method in which you can update theme using “FTP”. FTP details are provided by hosting service provider, You can contact them for this. They will provide you Host, Username and Password. As soon as you get your details, You can login it using any FTP software.
Method of downloading theme is same as explained in first method.
Download fresh copy of theme from Members Area and save it in your local computer. You will get zip file of theme.
Now extract that zip file and save it in your local computer.
To update your theme please login to your FTP account and go to “wp-content/themes”.
