I’m new to WordPress, so please forgive me if this is a ridiculously stupid question. I received a notification (from ThemeForest) that the Impose template had an update. I downloaded the file from the site, but when I went to add it to my Appearance –> Themes –> Upload theme, it failed because the directory already exists. On the other WP sites I manage, when there is an update, all I do is hit “update now” from the menu (these are also custom themes). Can someone walk me through how to update this theme? Thanks!
Hi erilouboston,
You need to deactivate your theme in the “Appearance > Themes” section by simply activating a different theme. Once you activate a different theme, you can delete your theme. Don’t worry, your content will not be lost. (The translation files are located under languages folder in the theme folder.)
Then simply upload the new theme file in the “Appearance > Themes” section.
Once it uploads, choose to activate the theme.
Thanks
